Vivotek SC9133 Mobile Occupancy AI Camera
The Vivotek SC9133 is a purpose-built mobile occupancy camera engineered for automatic passenger counting and people detection in dynamic, vehicle-mounted environments. Built on edge-based AI processing, the SC9133 performs real-time occupancy analytics directly on-device, eliminating cloud dependency, bandwidth overhead, and latency concerns. Ideal for fleet management, public transportation, and mobile venue applications, this camera delivers reliable occupancy intelligence across diverse operating conditions.
Key Features
- On-device AI people counting and occupancy detection—fully independent of cloud systems
- 1792 x 1792 resolution at 30 fps with H.265/H.264 compression for efficient bandwidth management
- 140° horizontal and vertical field of view for comprehensive cabin and compartment coverage
- Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology for consistent performance across variable lighting conditions
- IP66-rated metal enclosure with IK10 impact resistance for mobile platform durability
- Flexible power input: IEEE 802.3af PoE (max 12.5W) or DC 9-48V via M12 connectors
- Operating temperature range -30°C to 60°C for diverse climate deployments
- Multi-stream output with simultaneous processing (3 streams) and JSON/XML/CSV reporting formats
- M12 connectors (D-coded network, A-coded I/O) for robust vehicle integration
Technical Highlights
The SC9133 features a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor delivering square-format 1792 x 1792 resolution, uniquely suited to passenger cabin monitoring where equal horizontal and vertical coverage is critical. Edge-based AI processing ensures occupancy counts and analytics are computed locally, making the camera ideal for high-vibration, high-latency, or disconnected fleet environments. The wide temperature operating range (-30°C to 60°C) ensures reliable deployment across climates, while the robust IP66/IK10 metal chassis withstands moisture, impact, and vibration inherent in mobile installations. Flexible power options—both PoE and extended DC voltage (9-48V)—accommodate diverse vehicle electrical architectures.
Applications
- Fleet management and vehicle occupancy tracking
- Public transportation (buses, shuttles, trains) passenger counting
- Mobile venues and event spaces
- Vehicle-mounted occupancy monitoring and analytics

The SC9133 addresses a critical gap in mobile analytics: on-device occupancy intelligence without cloud overhead. For fleet operators managing hundreds of vehicles, eliminating cloud bandwidth costs and latency dependencies represents significant operational savings. The square-format sensor design (1792 x 1792) is uncommon and deliberately chosen for cabin environments where vertical and horizontal coverage must be equal—a clear signal that this camera is purpose-built rather than adapted from standard surveillance platforms.
The 140° field of view in both axes, combined with WDR, ensures reliable counting in the mixed-lighting conditions typical of vehicle cabins. For applications requiring real-time occupancy decisions (capacity alerts, route optimization, emergency response), on-device processing eliminates the 500ms+ delays inherent in cloud-dependent systems. Multi-stream output with structured data formats (JSON/XML/CSV) simplifies integration into existing fleet management and BI platforms.
The SC9133 is ideal for operators prioritizing cost control, privacy compliance, and operational independence from external connectivity.
