VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK IP8161 is a professional-series fixed network camera featuring superb image quality and
exceptional bandwidth efficiency� It is especially suitable for wide open spaces such as building
entrances and airports, or applications requiring accurate identification, such as human faces in banks or
vehicle license plates in parking lots�
Featuring a 2-megapixel sensor, this camera is able to provide a wide field of view with exceptional detail
when compared to a standard VGA camera, significantly reducing the number of camera installations.
The ePTZ function enables users to focus on close-up shots of different areas in the camera's view
without moving the camera physically� Users can quickly move to a target area by simply clicking on the
video feed from the camera on their screen. In addition, the IP8161 can deliver user-defined thumbnails
for viewing instead of video of an entire scene so as to optimize bandwidth and storage efficiency.
The IP8161 supports H�264 compression technology, drastically reducing file sizes and conserving
valuable network bandwidth� With MPEG-4 and MJPEG compatibility, video streams can also be
transmitted in either of these formats for versatile applications� The streams can also be individually
configured to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints, thereby further reducing bandwidth and
storage requirements� Users can receive multiple streams simultaneously in different resolutions, frame
rates and image qualities for viewing on different platforms�
Thanks to its day and night function achieved by a built-in removable IR-cut filter, the IP8161 is able to
maintain clear images 24 hours a day�
Additionally, the IP8161 camera incorporates an adjustment ring to improve lens compatibility with either
C- or CS-mount lens, providing system integrators with more flexibility and hassle-free installation for
different applications� The built-in SD/SDHC card slot offers a convenient and portable storage option to
prevent data loss in case of network disconnection�
Data security with the IP8161 is further enhanced with HTTPS encryption and 802�1x authentication�
Together with PoE, QoS, activity adaptive streaming, and the included 32-CH central management
software, the IP8161 is indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance�
