Overview
VIVOTEK’s IP8335H network bullet camera features an HD WDR CMOS sensor for use in
challenging lighting conditions. The resulting WDR Pro feature enables the camera to capture
both the dark and bright parts of an image with double shutters, enabling two frames to be
combined to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene, providing
video quality close to the capabilities of the human eye. The P-iris lens controls the iris with
extreme precision with its built-in stepper motor, maintaining the opening at an optimal level at
all times, resulting in superior image clarity and depth of eld as well as image quality. As such,
the IP8335H is suitable for high contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots,
ATMs, loading areas, and much more.
The day and night functionality and the IP67-rated weatherproof housing of the IP8335H allows
users to easily build a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories.
Incorporating an IR-cut filter that can be removed automatically at night and built-in IR
illuminators with coverage for up to 20 meters, the IP8335H is an outstanding choice for a 24-
hour surveillance solution.
