Overview
The VIVOTEK IP816A-LPC is a professional box network camera offering up to 60 fps @
2-Megapixel resolution with superb image quality, even in the darkest hours of the night.
Combined with IR lights and an outdoor housing, the solution is especially apt for traffic
monitoring in challenging lighting conditions.
Featuring the improved Wide Dynamic Range Technology, WDR Pro, the IP816A-LPC
provides superior visibility in high-contrast lighting environments with 2-shutter capture method.
When combined with 3D Noise Reduction Technology, users can enjoy an increased level of
image detail in extremely dark environments without consuming or wasting unreasonbly high
bandwidth.
To provide top-notch image quality, IP816A-LPC also comes with a P-iris lens, which controls
the iris with extreme precision with its built-in stepper motor. Controlled by advanced software,
the lens maintains the iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior sharpness
and depth of eld. VIVOTEK knows that accurately focusing a megapixel network camera can
be difcult due to the level of image detail. In order to help installers properly adjust the focus of
this high resolution camera, the IP816A-LPC is also equipped with VIVOTEK’ s RBF (Remote
Back Focus) System, allowing installers to adjust focus even more accurately.
