VIVOTEK Launches its First 5-Megapixel Fisheye Camera

VIVOTEK is launching the FE8172/72V, its first 5-Megapixel fisheye camera, for both indoor and outdoor applications. 

Equipped with 5-Megapixel CMOS sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1080p up to 30 fps and a 1.05 mm fisheye lens for 180° panoramic view or 360° surround view, VIVOTEK FE8172/72V camera is able to not only eliminate blind spots but also provide the greatest coverage with the finest details.

“We are launching a series of 5-Megapixel solutions this year, starting with the FD8372 designed for demanding outdoor environments,” said William Ku. “The 5-Megapixel fixed dome has received tremendous positive feedback from the industry and we are confident that the fisheye camera will, too.”

The FE8172V, the outdoor model, is EN-50155 certified and proven capable of performing in a railway application as the EN-50155 standard is used to regulate electronic equipment on rolling stock. The IP66-rated design, on the other hand, protects the camera against water and dust intrusion. The vandal-proof IK10-rated housing allows for robust protection from vandalism. As for the FE8172, the indoor model, it is designed to be installation-friendly and thus comes with a dimension smaller than the FE8172V.

According to Ku, VIVOTEK FE8172/72V is designed for open areas such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores and offices.

Other upcoming 5-Megapixel models to be released in 2012 include IP8172 and IP8372.

The first 5-Megaxpiel fisheye camera from VIVOTEK is available as of Q3 this year. Please visit Product on the VIVOTEK website for more information.

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
