Vivotek IB839-EHTV-V2-1Y 5MP Outdoor Bullet Camera
The Vivotek IB839-EHTV-V2-1Y is a rugged 5MP outdoor bullet camera engineered for security integrators deploying perimeter monitoring, parking areas, and facility entrances in challenging environments. Built for durability and forensic clarity, this camera combines motorized lens control, extreme low-light performance, and advanced compression to deliver reliable surveillance across demanding conditions.
Key Features
- 5MP resolution at 30 fps with H.265 compression for 50% bandwidth reduction versus H.264
- Motorized 2.8-12mm P-Iris lens with remote focus and optical zoom—no site revisits required
- 120dB WDR Pro engine handles extreme lighting transitions from direct sunlight to shadow
- 40m Smart IR for usable detail in total darkness and low-light scenarios
- IP67 dust and water resistance rating for exposed outdoor mounting
- IK10 vandal protection for high-risk perimeter and entry-point deployments
- Two-way audio with built-in microphone, auxiliary mic-in, and line-in connectivity
- Smart Stream III adaptive bitrate streaming for dynamic network optimization
- 3D noise reduction and Supreme Night Visibility for forensic-grade low-light clarity
Technical Highlights
Lens & Zoom Control: The motorized 2.8-12mm P-Iris lens enables field-of-view adjustment from the network operations center, eliminating costly technician callbacks for focus tuning or zoom adjustments. Remote lens control is critical for fixed perimeter deployments where on-site access is limited or expensive.
Advanced Lighting Performance: The 120dB WDR Pro engine preserves facial and license plate detail across extreme backlight and reflective surfaces. Combined with 40m Smart IR, the camera delivers usable forensic footage in complete darkness, making it suitable for 24/7 monitoring without external lighting infrastructure.
Efficiency & Compression: H.265 video compression reduces bandwidth and storage consumption by approximately 50% compared to H.264, allowing higher resolution or longer retention periods on existing network infrastructure. 5MP resolution at 30 fps captures sufficient detail for facial recognition and forensic review workflows.
Environmental Durability: IP67 rating protects against dust ingress and water jets from any direction, while IK10 vandal protection withstands 20 joules of impact energy. This combination supports exposed rooftop, parking, and perimeter mounting in high-risk locations without protective housings.
Applications
- Perimeter and fence-line monitoring
- Parking lot and vehicle capture
- Facility entrances and access control verification
- Loading dock and shipping area surveillance
- Industrial and utility site protection

The IB839-EHTV-V2-1Y is a field-proven choice for integrators requiring forensic 5MP capture in outdoor, high-vandalism environments. The motorized lens eliminates the operational cost and delay of on-site focus adjustments—a critical advantage in distributed perimeter deployments. H.265 compression and adaptive bitrate streaming make this camera network-efficient without sacrificing frame rate or resolution.
The combination of 120dB WDR Pro, 40m Smart IR, and 3D noise reduction ensures usable detail across the full 24-hour cycle, reducing the need for supplementary lighting or dual-camera installations. IP67 and IK10 ratings justify the cost premium for genuinely exposed mounting scenarios. Integrators should confirm switch port capacity and PoE+ availability before deployment, as 5MP at 30 fps with two-way audio demands robust network provisioning.
Available in White.
