Overview
The FD9165 and FD9365 are the first camera line to come embedded with the Smart
Motion Detection feature. The Smart Motion detection, with Human detection and tunable
time filter, can eliminate the defects of traditional motion detection and facilitate the
conguration at a surveillance site.
To learn more about this feature, download its User Guide in:
http://download.vivotek.com/downloadfile/solutions/vadp/smart-motion-detection-manual_
en.pdf
A key feature in the Smart Motion detection is the Human detection. Based on a human
silhouette database and the rapid responses via an artificial neural network technology,
the Smart engine instantly recognizes human appearances in a video surveillance area.
Since humans are the objects of interest in the majority of video surceillance, the Human
detection feature enables users to quickly congure his installation.
With Human detection, light changes or swaying vegetation, vehicles passing by, or animal
activities in the scene are not taken as event triggers. Only human activities will trigger an
event. This helps reduce false alarms and the time and efforts for a camera conguration.
The FD9165-HT is the new fagship indoor dome network camera from VIVOTEK, equipped
with a full HD sensor capable of 1920x1080 resolution at 60 fps. With the most updated
VIVOTEK SNV and WDR Pro technology, the FD9165-HT is capable of capturing the
highest quality images in both low light and high contrast environments.
The FD9165-HT also offers the best in night time surveillance technology. By adopting
Smart IR II technology from VIVOTEK speed domes, the FD9165-HT IR illuminators now
align with the remote focus lens’ focus angle to provide the best IR image quality at any
lens setting. This feature optimizes IR intensity, reduces IR hotspots, and increases the IR
effective range up to 50 meters.

Revision History
■ Rev. 1.0: Initial release.
■ Rev. 1.1: Added the description for the automated IR control by G-sensor.
Additionally, the FD9165 and FD9365 series employs VIVOTEK’s Smart Stream III
technology and H.265 compression codec, reducing bandwidth more than 90%* while still
maintaining excellent image quality compared to traditional H.264 without smart streaming.
Furthermore, the VIVOTEK VADP (VIVOTEK Application Development Platform) allows
users to add customized programs for various applications and user scenarios. The
FD9165-HT also includes a PIR sensor as well as a built-in microphone, enabling further
detection of unexpected events.
