The Vivotek FE9391-EV-V2-M12(M) is a purpose-built 12MP fisheye network camera engineered for demanding mobile and transport surveillance applications. EN50155 certified (OT4/ST1) for railway, bus, and fleet operations, this camera delivers robust performance across extreme environmental conditions while maintaining compact M12 connectivity for ruggedized deployments.

Key Features

• 12MP fisheye resolution with 2816×2816 native capture at 30 fps
• Electronic PTZ with 3D noise reduction and local/client dewarp capabilities
• 120dB WDR Pro for superior performance in high-contrast transit and exterior lighting
• Built-in 5m Smart IR for low-light imaging without visible illumination
• H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression for bandwidth optimization on mobile networks
• IP66/IK10 rated for splash, dust, and impact resistance in transit environments
• EN50155 certified for railway, bus, and fleet compliance
• Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F)
• PoE+ (802.3af, Class 4) or 12VDC power input for flexible integration
• M12 4-pin D-coded connector for ruggedized network termination
• Two-way audio with built-in microphone for driver/operator communication
• MicroSD card slot for onboard recording and backup storage
• Digital I/O for external device control and event triggering
• ONVIF compliant for open VMS integration
• Secure boot, signed firmware, and HTTPS encryption for enhanced security

Technical Specifications

• Lens: 1.29mm Panomorph fisheye with F2.18 aperture
• Day/Night: Automatic with IR LED array (5m range, operable to 60°C)
• Video Compression: H.265, H.264, MJPEG
• Power Consumption: 18W (IR on) / 9.55W (IR off)
• Connectivity: Ethernet via M12 connector; microSD expansion

Applications

Ideal for railway cab surveillance, bus fleet monitoring, municipal transport networks, and specialized vehicle tracking. The fisheye optics provide expansive situational awareness in confined spaces, while EN50155 certification ensures regulatory compliance in regulated transport sectors. Two-way audio enables real-time driver communication, and onboard microSD recording provides independent backup in communication-limited environments.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The FE9391-EV-V2-M12(M) addresses a specialized niche where standard dome or turret cameras fall short: mobile surveillance requiring extreme durability, regulatory compliance, and wide-angle coverage in confined spaces. The 12MP fisheye sensor captures exceptional detail across a hemispherical field, with electronic PTZ and client-side dewarp enabling flexible post-recording analysis without physical lens movement—a critical advantage on vibration-prone platforms.

The H.265 codec is particularly valuable in mobile deployments where cellular or satellite backhaul bandwidth is limited and costly. Combined with 120dB WDR Pro, this camera performs reliably in the challenging lighting transitions of vehicle cabins and rail platforms. The 5m IR range and day/night automation ensure continuous operation through dawn, dusk, and low-light transit conditions.

EN50155 certification (OT4/ST1) is non-negotiable for regulated rail and public transport sectors; this certification validates thermal shock resilience (-40°C to 70°C operational range), vibration tolerance, and electromagnetic immunity. The M12 D-coded connector and IP66/IK10 ratings provide industrial-grade ruggedization absent in consumer-grade cameras. Two-way audio and digital I/O integrate with dispatch systems and event logging, while secure boot and HTTPS encryption protect against firmware tampering and data interception in networked fleets. ONVIF compliance ensures compatibility with enterprise VMS platforms, reducing vendor lock-in.
