Overview
VIVOTEK FD7132 is a 3-axis fixed dome network camera with true day and night function
for indoor 24-hour continuous surveillance. Coupled with a removable IR-cut filter and IR
illuminators up to 15 M (50ft), the high-sensitive FD7132 provides superior quality images in both
day and night conditions. The sophisticated 3-axis mechanism design offers very flexible, easy
hardware installation for either ceiling or wall mount. You may pan, tilt, or roll your camera and
still have a wide range field of view by a 3.3~12 mm vari-focal, auto-iris board lens. Additionally,
the built-in PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor can effectively help you detect any motion objects
by their thermal to prevent occurrences of false alarms. By offering many advanced functions
including simultaneous dual streams, 3GPP mobile surveillance, 802.3af compliant PoE, two-
way audio by SIP protocol, and HTTPS encryption, this full-featured FD7132 allows you to easily
build up a cost-effective IP surveillance system for indoor day and night applications such as
offices, banks, retail stores and much more.
