Vivotek IB9387-EHTV-V3 5MP Outdoor Bullet Camera
The Vivotek IB9387-EHTV-V3 is a professional-grade 5-megapixel outdoor bullet camera designed for long-range surveillance in harsh environments. Equipped with a motorized 12-40mm zoom lens and P-iris control, this camera delivers flexible framing and precise exposure management across varied lighting and distance scenarios. Its rugged metal construction, rated IP66/IP67 and IK10, withstands extreme weather, temperature swings from -40°C to 60°C, and physical impact, making it ideal for critical perimeter and infrastructure monitoring applications.
Key Features
- Motorized 12-40mm lens with P-iris control for dynamic focal length adjustment and automatic exposure precision
- 50-meter infrared illumination for reliable 24/7 monochrome night vision
- WDR PRO technology for balanced exposure in high-contrast lighting conditions
- Smart VCA with object analytics for intelligent rule-based event detection and alerting
- Two-way audio support for remote communication and verification
- IP66/IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant enclosure
- PoE (802.3af) power with DC12V and optional AC 24V alternatives
- MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for local recording backup
Technical Highlights
Video compression flexibility is a cornerstone of this camera's deployment efficiency. H.265 compression delivers superior bitrate optimization compared to H.264, reducing bandwidth consumption and storage requirements without sacrificing image quality. The camera also supports H.264 and MJPEG formats, allowing operators to tailor compression strategies to their network infrastructure and archival needs.
Low-light performance is enhanced through Smart Stream III compression technology and 3DNR noise reduction, ensuring clean, usable footage even in dimly lit conditions. The combination of 50-meter IR illumination and these image processing algorithms provides round-the-clock surveillance capability without requiring supplemental lighting infrastructure.
The motorized lens with P-iris control enables remote operators to adjust zoom and exposure dynamically, eliminating the need for manual lens adjustment and allowing rapid response to emerging security events or coverage requirement changes.
Applications
This camera is suited for perimeter security, parking facilities, industrial sites, transportation hubs, and critical infrastructure where extended range, harsh weather tolerance, and intelligent analytics are essential. Its PoE power compatibility simplifies deployment in remote locations where power infrastructure is limited.

The IB9387-EHTV-V3 represents a balanced solution for operators seeking motorized zoom capability with robust environmental durability. The H.265 codec adoption is particularly valuable for bandwidth-constrained deployments, while the dual-axis motor control (zoom and iris) reduces the need for multiple fixed-lens cameras. The IK10 rating ensures resilience against deliberate tampering, a critical requirement in high-risk installations.
PoE (802.3af) is adequate for this camera's power draw, simplifying cabling and switch-port requirements compared to higher-power alternatives.
Available in White.
