VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK FD8372 is a professional xed dome network camera offering 5-Megapixel or 1080p
Full HD resolution with superb image quality up to 30 fps. Featuring 5-Megapixel resolution and
high-performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology, the FD8372 offers extrasmooth video and wide coverage.
The FD8372 employs many advanced features to allow the user to fully utilize the high denition
video. The ePTZ function enables users to zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI) in the
camera view with only a few clicks of a mouse.
For installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera can be difcult due to
the image detail. Thus VIVOTEK introduces the Smart Focus System to make installation and
adjustment easier. VIVOTEK adopts lenses with built-in stepping motors that the installer can
use to remotely control the focal length and precisely adjust the camera focus, offering hasslefree installation and maintenance.
As with other true day/night models, the camera comes with a removable IR-cut lter and IR
illuminators (20 meters) to provide great clarity and contrast 24 hours a day. The metal vandalproof housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism, and the IP66 rating provides
a robust solution suitable for demanding outdoor environments.
