Vivotek IB9387-LPR-V3 5MP Outdoor Bullet Camera

The Vivotek IB9387-LPR-V3 is a purpose-built 5MP outdoor bullet camera engineered for license plate recognition, perimeter protection, and parking facility surveillance. Featuring a motorized 2.7–13.5mm P-Iris varifocal lens with remote focus capabilities, this camera eliminates costly on-site recalibration and adapts to varied deployment distances of 2–6 meters at heights of 1–3 meters. Delivering 2560×1920 resolution at 30 fps with H.265 compression, the IB9387-LPR-V3 optimizes bandwidth and storage efficiency while maintaining sharp detail essential for accurate license plate capture.

Key Features

Motorized 2.7–13.5mm P-Iris lens with remote focus for flexible field-of-view adjustment without site revisits

Embedded license plate recognition (LPR) with Wiegand protocol support and multi-country plate capability

120dB WDR Pro handles extreme contrast and challenging lighting conditions

Smart IR II technology delivers 50-meter infrared range for 24/7 night and low-light surveillance

3D noise reduction produces clean, usable video in poor lighting environments

H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression options reduce bandwidth demands

IP67 and IK10 ratings withstand rain, dust, and vandal-prone environments

PoE (802.3af) power simplifies installation and reduces cabling infrastructure

F1.4 aperture maximizes low-light sensitivity

Day/night capability with motorized IR cut filter

MicroSD local storage support for backup recording

ONVIF compatibility ensures integration with third-party VMS platforms

Trend Micro IoT Security protects against network threats

Technical Highlights

The camera operates reliably across –10°C to +60°C temperature ranges, making it suitable for diverse climates. At 30 fps frame rate with H.265 compression, live and recorded footage maintains smooth motion while reducing storage overhead by up to 50% compared to H.264. Audio support enables two-way communication and incident documentation. XML and JSON export capabilities integrate directly with parking management, toll collection, and weighbridge systems for seamless workflow automation.

Applications

Parking lot and facility surveillance with automatic license plate recognition

Toll collection and access control verification

Perimeter security and intrusion detection

High-contrast outdoor scenes requiring WDR processing

24/7 monitoring in low-light and nighttime conditions

Multi-country toll and parking enforcement operations

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

The IB9387-LPR-V3 combines hardware and firmware specifically optimized for license plate recognition accuracy. The F1.4 aperture and Smart IR II deliver superior low-light performance critical for nighttime plate capture, while the motorized varifocal lens eliminates focus drift at varying installation distances. The 120dB WDR Pro processor handles backlit scenarios common in parking entrances and toll plazas.

H.265 compression significantly reduces bandwidth for high-frame-rate recording on PoE infrastructure, and embedded LPR analytics reduce server processing load. The IK10 rating ensures durability in vandal-prone environments, while IP67 protection handles coastal and industrial applications with salt spray or chemical exposure. ONVIF compliance guarantees integration with existing VMS ecosystems, and Trend Micro security provides essential IoT threat protection for networked deployments.
