Geovision 84-BX3400V-401U Box IP Camera

Overview

The Geovision 84-BX3400V-401U is a 3MP box-form IP camera built for flexible surveillance deployments where adjustable optics and robust image quality across variable lighting are essential. The model 84-BX3400V-401U ships with a varifocal lens (3–10.5mm), allowing field technicians to optimize focal length without camera replacement — a real time-saver on multi-site rollouts where framing needs vary by location. H.264 compression balances image fidelity against bandwidth and storage overhead, critical when you're running dozens of cameras on a single NVR or across constrained network links. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology preserves detail in mixed-light scenes — sunlit windows paired with shadowed corners, or lobby glass against dim corridors — eliminating the blown-out or crushed-shadow footage that makes facial recognition and license-plate capture unreliable.

Compatibility

The 84-BX3400V-401U integrates with standard IP camera management systems and NVRs that support H.264 and ONVIF protocols. IPCAM-category cabling (standard Cat5e/Cat6 with RJ-45 connectors) ensures straightforward integration into existing surveillance infrastructure. Install as a standalone camera on any PoE-capable switch, or in multi-camera arrays via dedicated NVR channels. No special driver or codec installation required — it behaves as a standards-compliant IP device on most VMS platforms.

Installation Notes

Box-form factor mounts cleanly to ceiling or wall, requiring only a standard bracket and RJ-45 drop. Varifocal adjustment is field-configurable via focus ring — no factory recalibration needed. Ensure network cable runs adhere to Ethernet distance limits (100m Cat5e/Cat6); longer runs require a PoE extender or managed switch injection point. Confirm your PoE power budget before deployment (check your switch or injector datasheet for available watts per port).
