Overview

VIVOTEK’s FD836B-HV range is a series of robust, dome-style network cameras designed for diverse outdoor applications and offering a broad range of options. Equipped with a Full HD sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1920x1080 at a smooth 30 fps, the FD836B-HV series are all-in-one outdoor cameras capable of capturing high quality and high resolution video at up to 2 Megapixels whether in high contrast or low light with WDR and SNV technology.

Further increasing its exibility, VIVOTEK’s FD836B-HV series provides options for both xed focus

for simple operation without extra electrical power, and remote focus with built-in stepping motors and P-iris to provide precise adjustment remotely.

To meet the demands of any harsh outdoor application, VIVOTEK’s FD836B-HV series is also armed with IP66-rated housing to help the camera body withstand rain, dust and high pressure water jets from any direction, while its IK10-rated housing provides robust protection against acts of vandalism or other impacts.

Finally, a wide operating temperature range further enhances the FD836B-HV’s performance and reliability in extremely cold or hot weather, even when using PoE. When choosing VIVOTEK FD836B-HV series, customers will be offered four options: the FD836B-HVF2, FD836B-EHVF2, FD836B-HTV, and FD836B-EHTV. Different options can be chosen based on the requirements of your application, such as the need for a specific focusing method or operating environment temperature.

VIVOTEK’s FD8382 is a series of economic professional outdoor fixed dome network cameras in VIVTOTEK’s 5MP Lite series which offer up to 15 fps at 5-Megapixel or 30 fps at 1080p resolution at a

competitive price. To create the perfect focus required to reap the benets of higher resolutions, VIVOTEK’s FD8382 series provides the options of both xed focus, used for simple operation without electrical power,

and remote focus with built-in stepping motors and P-iris for precise adjustment remotely.

Designed to provide higher resolution, the FD8382 series is an ideal solution to provide sharper image with more details. With powerful 3D Noise Reduction technology and Smart Stream technology, the IB8382 series

can also optimize resolution for a desired object or area to maximize efciency of bandwidth usage.

To provide higher resolution in outdoor and harsh environments, VIVOTEK’s FD8382 series is also armed with IP66-rated housing to help the camera body withstand rain, dust and high pressure water jets from any direction, while its IK10-rated housing provides protection against acts of vandalism or other impacts. Additionally, a wide operating temperature range further improves the FD8382-EVF2 and the FD8382-ET’s performance and reliability in extremely cold or warm weather, even when using PoE.

With the highly exible VADP (VIVOTEK Application Development Platform), users can extend the features of

this series by adding third-party applications for the FD8382-VF2, FD8382-EVF2, FD8382-TV, and FD8382ETV. Thus, the FD8382 series is not only equipped with multiple focusing methods and wide temperature range options, is but ideal for a wide variety of applications.

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP

request such as: http://122.146.57.120:8000

If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your

router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports), please refer to Conguration > Network Settings. VIVOTEK also provides the automatic

port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.

Auto Focus (for Motorized Lens Models only)

On the web console, visit the Conguration > Image > Focus window. Perform the Auto Focus function for best image focus.

Focus here refers to the Remote Focus, applicable to Network Cameras that are equipped with a stepping motor lens. The automated focus adjustment function eliminates the needs to physically adjust camera focus. In an outdoor deployment consisting of a large number of cameras, the auto focus function can be very helpful when these cameras become out of focus after days or weeks of operation. And that can easily result from the effects of natural forces, e.g., shrink and expand due to a wide range of operating temperatures and the vibration caused by wind.
