SD8363E/63E-M
1080p Full HD • 20x Zoom • NEMA 4X • 
IP66 • Extreme Weatherproof • PoE Plus
VIVOTEK SD8363E is part of the SUPREME series product line offering 1080p Full HD resolution with superb image quality. Adopting 
a 20x optical zoom lens, the SD8363E is able to capture details at top-notch quality. The IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing protects 
the camera body against rain, dust, and corrosion within a wide temperature range of between -40°C to 55°C. This feature ensures 
operation under extreme weather conditions and hazardous environments. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open 
indoor/outdoor spaces such as airports, highways and parking lots where high-level reliability and precision are always required.
The SD8363E supports high-performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology and offers extra smooth video quality with 
resolution up to 30 fps @ 1080p. Boasting WDR Pro technology, the SD8363E can also cope with challenging lighting conditions and 
generate image quality close to the capabilities of the human eye. With a sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, the camera provides fast, 
precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 220-degree tilt. Users can also easily control the lens position via a mouse 
or a joystick to track the object of interest and set up to 256 preset positions for patrolling. With the built-in auto tracking feature, the 
SD8363E provides instantaneous reaction to suspicious moving objects in wide area locations before operators are aware of activity.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SD8363E features a removable IR-cut filter, maintaining clear images 24 hours a 
day. With audio detection, by recognizing increases or decreases in sound volume, an additional layer of intrusion detection is 
ensured. Zoom enhancement provides 60x optical zoom at 640x360 resolution by which VGA-level bandwidth is used to obtain image 
details as high as 1080p resolution. With other advanced features such as SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, 802.3at compliant PoE Plus 
and 60 fps high quality video, the SD8363E is the best choice for the most demanding outdoor surveillance applications.

60 fps Raises Recognition Accuracy
The VIVOTEK SD8363E is able to transmit 60 fps @ 720p resolution with H.264 compression, whereas a conventional megapixel camera can generally only achieve 
10 to 15 fps due to hardware limitations. 60 fps provides a significant advantage as it enables viewing and recording footage at an exceptional frame rate. This feature 
provides a more complete record of an event and ensures accurate target identification. The more images or frames that can be captured and delivered to a facial 
recognition database, the more forensic evidence is available for biometric pairing, significantly increasing the level of accuracy.
Unparalleled Visibility in High Contrast Environments
When a camera is used in a high contrast, backlight, glare or light reflective environment, such as a building entrance, ATM or window, an object may appear dark and 
unrecognizable. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology compensates for the unbalanced lighting, restoring the details throughout the field of view. With this feature, 
the SD8363E is able to maintain image quality even under challenging light conditions.

60 fps  Key frame
Advanced Mechanism
SD8363E has a pan range of 360° and tilt range of 220°. With the 
additional 20° tilt range, the SD8363E is able to expand the viewing 
range to the field above the normal horizontal view. Additionally, the 
SD8363E is built with QuickPan technology, allowing for 360° endless panning at a speed of 450° per second. 
This allows users to quickly direct the camera lens to catch any 
object of interest in the field of view surrounding the camera.
Zoom Enhancement
Utilizing a 20x optical zoom lens, the SD8363E provides close-up 
images with 1080p detail and effectively extends the user’s viewing 
distance. Even under limited bandwidth environments, users can 
take advantage of the VIVOTEK Zoom enhancement feature to 
obtain image detail as high as 1080p resolution using VGA-level 
bandwidth.
• WDR Pro
WDR Pro works by capturing alternate frames using different exposure times. An image signal processor (ISP) then uses a sophisticated algorithm to 
seamlessly combine the optimal portions of these two complementary frames to create a composite frame that retains details in both the dark and bright 
areas of the field of view.

A single high-contrast frame is 
created by combining the two 
frames using an advanced 
image signal processor.
(Note: Frame rate drops by half when using WDR Pro.)
Extreme Weatherproof 
•  Wide Temperature Range
The wide temperature range (-40°C ~ 55°C) enhances the 
SD8363E’s performance and reliability under extremely harsh 
weather conditions.
•  IP66-rated and NEMA 4X Housing
The weather-proof IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing protects 
the SD8363E from rain, dust, and corrosion, allowing the 
device to operate outdoors under a multitude of weather conditions.

Auto Tracking for Moving Objects
The auto tracking feature provides instantaneous reaction to suspicious moving objects over a wide area before an operator may be 
aware of activity. Users are able to define the target object size in 
order to render auto tracking more effectively.
