Vivotek MD9560-H-V2 2MP Mobile Dome Camera

The Vivotek MD9560-H-V2 is a purpose-built 2MP mobile dome network camera designed for vehicle-mounted surveillance in fleet management and mobile security applications. Engineered to withstand the demands of mobile deployment, this camera delivers reliable video capture across varying lighting conditions with a compact form factor, M12 connector, and rugged construction rated for transportation environments.

Key Features

• 2MP resolution (1920×1080) with fixed 2.8mm lens providing 108° horizontal field of view
• H.265 video compression reduces bandwidth and storage demand—critical for bandwidth-constrained mobile platforms
• 5-meter IR capability with F1.8 fixed aperture for reliable low-light and nighttime operation
• WDR Pro technology manages mixed bright and dark areas within a single frame for consistent image quality
• M12 connector ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections for vehicle integration
• IP67 and NEMA 4X rated housing with IK10 impact resistance for outdoor durability
• PoE Class 2 powered with low power consumption: 5.5W (IR on) / 3.3W (IR off)
• Audio support with microSD card storage compatibility
• 30fps frame rate with H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression options
• Day/night operation with automatic IR switchover
• HTTPS encryption and ONVIF compatibility for secure, standard-based integration
• Wide operating temperature range: -25°C to 55°C

Technical Highlights

The 1/2.9" progressive CMOS sensor with 1/5 to 1/32,000 second shutter range adapts to rapid lighting transitions common in moving vehicles. The compact dimensions (3.86" × 2.13" × 4.36") and lightweight 400g design minimize installation footprint on mobile platforms. M12 connectivity provides the mechanical and electrical stability required for vibration-prone environments, while IP67/NEMA 4X sealing protects against dust and water ingress typical in mobile operations.

Applications

Ideal for fleet monitoring, vehicle-mounted surveillance, public transportation security, mobile security patrols, and regulated transport environments requiring railway or vehicle compliance certifications.

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

The MD9560-H-V2 addresses a specific market niche: mobile surveillance where connection reliability and power efficiency are non-negotiable. The H.265 codec is particularly valuable in vehicle applications where cellular or satellite uplinks have strict bandwidth quotas. The 5-meter IR range balances detection capability with power draw—aggressive IR consumes power quickly in mobile systems reliant on finite power budgets or solar supplements.

WDR Pro is essential for vehicles transitioning between tunnels, bright roadways, and shaded areas. The IK10 vandal rating and NEMA 4X sealing reflect real-world mobile exposure to impacts, vibration, and environmental extremes. PoE Class 2 simplicity eliminates the need for dedicated 12V mobile power supplies, reducing wiring complexity.

ONVIF compliance ensures integration with fleet management software ecosystems without vendor lock-in.
