Overview
VIVOTEK’s MD8564-EH is a 2-megapixel network camera geared toward transportation
applications, focusing on rolling stock deployments. Designed specifically for mounting
outside the vehicle, MD8564-EH can work either as a side-view camera (also known as
back-mirror camera or DOO camera) or pantograph monitoring camera if placed on the
roof of the vehicle. In both applications, camera provides the driver with clear view of
critical areas for incident monitoring and operational awareness. Armed with built-in IR
illuminators, the MD8564-EH is able to provide superior image quality for up to 30 meters
in total darkness.
With full EN50155 TX compliance the camera can withstand shock, vibrations, humidity,
and electromagnetic interference, maintaining reliable video preview and recording during
vehicle movement. Furthermore, the ruggedized metal housing provide effective and
robust protection from harsh outdoor conditions: IK10+ rating guarantees high resistance to
mechanical impact, IP6K9K rating ensures camera is completely weather-proof. MD8564-
EH also features wide operating temperature range -40°C~70°C and a front glass heater
for de-icing and de-frosting, making the camera suitable even for the toughest climate
conditions.
Employing VIVOTEK’s Smart Stream II technology, the MD8564-EH can reduce both
bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 50%* while maintaining high standards of
image quality.
