Overview
VIVOTEK FD8133V(Wired)/34V(PoE) is an easy-to-use xed dome network camera specically
designed for indoor/outdoor security applications with a compact, stylish vandal-proof exterior.
Equipped with a 1MP sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1280x800 at 30 fps, users need look
no further for an all-in-one camera capable of capturing high quality, high resolution video.
The FD8133V/34V supports the industry-standard H.264 compression technology, drastically
reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG
compatibility also included, video streams can also be transmitted in any of these formats
for versatile applications. The streams can also be individually configured to meet different
constraints, thereby further reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Users can thus
receive multiple streams simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities
for viewing on different platforms.
Its IP66-rated housing protects the camera body against rain and dust and ensures operation
under poor weather conditions. Furthermore, the metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides
robust protection from vandalism. Also included are a number of advanced features standard
on VIVOTEK cameras, including tamper detection, MicroSD/SDHC card slot, 802.3af compliant
PoE (FD8134V), removable IR-cut lter and built-in IR illuminators, and VIVOTEK’s 32-channel
recording software. With all of these capabilities, the FD8133V/34V presents the best value in IP
surveillance for indoor/outdoor applications.
