Overview
VIVOTEK’s FE9191 and FE9391-EV are the next generation of market-leading 12-Megapixel
360° panamorph network cameras, both featuring a detailed 12-Megapixel CMOS sensor which
guarantees superb image quality. Utilizing the latest in panamorph lens technology for 180° panoramic view (wall mount) or 360° surround view (ceiling/wall/foor mount) with zero blind spots,
these cameras are able to provide comprehensive coverage of open areas such as airports,
shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offces and more.
The FE9191 and FE9391-EV (IP66, IK10 rated) are the successors to FE8191 and FE8391-V
in the VIVOTEK 360° surround view family. Both new models are equipped with a removable
IR-cut filter and WDR Enhancement technology, allowing the cameras to maintain optimal
image quality around the clock for unparalleled visibility under high-contrast lighting environments. 3D Noise Reduction technology enables the cameras to capture clear, polished video
under low-light conditions. The FE9191 and FE9391-EV’s use of the latest in panamorph lens
technology has led to much improved image quality with a huge drop in edge distortion. The
FE9391-EV is also updated with the latest in IR illumination, VIVOTEK’s Smart IR II technology with Adaptive IR. Adaptive IR enables the FE9391-EV’s IR illuminators to adjust to the
scene together or individually to provide the best possible IR image, reducing glaring hotspots
and/or underexposed dark spots.
The FE9191 and FE9391-EV will also be the frst to include a new wave of advanced Video Content Analyses (VCA). Available in 4Q 2017, these will include better object detection in order
to reduce false alarms. Through advanced human detection and crowd detection features the
FE9191 and FE9391-EV are the next steps in elevating surveillance cameras from image capturing devices to advanced notifcation instruments, allowing users to see more in smarter ways.
