Overview
VIVOTEK’s VC9101 is a high-performance Full-HD split-type camera system. Its discreet
design, rich functionality and ability to be exibly integrated into even the tightest spaces,
make this camera ideal for indoor or covert surveillance of ATMs, banks, stores and o󰀩ces.
The VC9101 features a separate camera unit and video core design, enabling the tiny
camera unit (with 5-meter long cable) to be easily and exibly installed into any decoration
or interior design, thus preserving stylish appearances while dramatically saving on
installation time and cost.
The VC9101 can support one camera unit and is designed to work in perfect harmony with
a choice of two 2-megapixel WDR camera units: the pinhole type, and the fisheye type
for 180° Panoramic View. Both camera units incorporate a number of advanced features
found in VIVOTEK cameras, including WDR Pro, Smart Stream II technology, 3DNR,
802.3af compliant PoE, on-board storage, and VIVOTEK’s 32-channel recording software.
All of these features and the unique design allow the camera units to capture clear images
in high-contrast scenes, and to make this camera system the best possible solution for
indoor surveillance when discretion is important.
