Overview
Vivotek IB9387 LPR v2 5MP Outdoor Bullet Camera
The Vivotek IB9387 LPR v2 is a specialized 5MP outdoor license plate recognition camera designed for traffic management, parking enforcement, and access control applications. Built on Vivotek's proven platform, this bullet camera integrates embedded VaxALPR software to deliver accurate license plate capture and recognition in real-world conditions. Its motorized vari-focal lens, advanced WDR technology, and robust IP66/IP67-rated metal housing make it a reliable choice for demanding outdoor surveillance environments.
Key Features
- 5MP Resolution (2560×1920): High-resolution imaging captures fine details necessary for accurate license plate recognition
- Embedded LPR Software: VaxALPR integration enables on-camera license plate detection and recognition without external servers
- Motorized Vari-Focal Lens (3.2–10.5mm): Remote focus and zoom control simplifies field installation and allows precise framing of target zones
- Advanced Night Vision: Four IR LEDs with 0.06 lux minimum illumination in color mode; sub-0.005 lux in black and white; 0 lux with IR on
- WDR Pro Technology: Handles high-contrast scenes (120 dB dynamic range) to maintain readable plate images in backlit or mixed lighting
- Day/Night Switching: Removable IR cut filter ensures optimal color performance during day and monochrome sensitivity at night
- IP66/IP67 Metal Housing: Weatherproof design rated for harsh outdoor conditions; IK10 impact resistance
- 48x Digital Zoom: ePTZ functionality with 12x zoom in built-in viewer for detailed plate inspection
- Flexible Power & Connectivity: PoE Class 4, DC 12V, or AC 24V options; RJ45 wired connection

- Video Codec Support: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression; 30 fps at full 5MP resolution with WDR enabled
- Streaming & Storage: Three simultaneous streams with Smart Stream II adaptive bitrate control; 32GB onboard microSD storage
- Audio Capability: Two-way audio with G.711/G.726 compression; external mic and line-out connectivity
- Security Features: HTTPS, IEEE 802.1x, digest authentication, secure boot, signed firmware, and Trend Micro IoT Security threat protection
- Event Management: Supports audio detection, tampering alerts, digital input triggers, and multiple notification channels (email, HTTP, FTP, NAS, SD card)
- Pan/Tilt Range: 90° tilt, 180° rotation for flexible mounting and field of view adjustment
- Operating Range: 10–60°C (–14–140°F); up to 90% humidity tolerance
Applications
Ideal for parking lots, gated community access control, toll booth monitoring, traffic enforcement, municipal parking management, and perimeter security zones where license plate recognition is critical.

The IB9387 LPR v2 stands out for its embedded recognition capability—VaxALPR runs directly on the camera, reducing latency and infrastructure costs. The motorized lens with remote focus is particularly valuable for installers who need precision framing of license plates without field adjustments. WDR Pro and a 120 dB dynamic range ensure plates remain readable even in challenging backlit scenarios common at parking lot exits or toll plazas.
Trend Micro IoT Security integration adds defense against brute-force and cyberattacks. The 32GB local storage and three-stream architecture provide redundancy and bandwidth flexibility. At 26W maximum PoE draw, it operates efficiently on standard Class 4 injectors.
The camera's 60 dB signal-to-noise ratio and F1.6 aperture support reliable capture from dusk through night with IR illumination. This is a purpose-built solution for organizations requiring both high-quality video and machine-readable plate data on a single device.
