VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK FE8172/72V is the latest sheye xed dome network camera from VIVOTEK, featuring a detailed 5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a sheye
lens for 180° panoramic view (wall mount) or 360° surround view (ceiling/oor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera is able to provide coverage of wide, open areas, such as airports,
shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, ofces and more.
The FE8172/72V offers various display layouts, including original surround view, panoramic
view, and regional view for various mounting applications. With the cutting-edge image processing capabilities, hemispherical images captured from the sheye camera can be converted into
conventional rectilinear projection for viewing and analysis. In addition, in both the panoramic as
well as regional viewing modes, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily zoom
in and focus on a region of interest (ROI). The new pixel calculator function helps the user to
ensure the image quality of a desired area.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the FE8172/72V features a removable IR-cut lter,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. FE8172V’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the
camera body withstand rain and dust and ensure operation under a multitude of harsh weather
conditions; additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protection from physical damage. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card
slot for on-board storage, EN50155 mobile surveillance (FE8172V only) and iPad applications,
the FE8172/72V is indisputably the top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with
the greatest coverage possible.

1O3R (One Original & Three Regional) Display mode:
The 1O3R mode provides access to multiple live view sections within the hemisphere and the reference
to their relative positions on an Original oval view. The FOV indicators (#1 ~ #3) interact with your current
operation as you may zoom in/out or move the live view sections elsewhere.
You can zoom in or out or travel to other areas within the hemisphere using identical methods as
previously described in the 1R mode.
You can also change the locations of Regional views by dragging the FOV indicators on the "Original"
round-shape oval view.

After you click on the live image, the mouse wheel becomes the zoom in/out tool.
