Introducing Vicon's New H.265 Cameras

New Models offer the Simplest Way to Reduce VMS Bandwidth Utilization and Storage Requirements

Vicon Industries, Inc. is announcing several new models of H.265 megapixel IP cameras with anticipated availability in September. With superior compression that allows the cameras to transmit high resolution video at 50 percent lower bitrate than H.264, these models provide the simplest way to reduce demand for bandwidth and storage when used as part of a VMS solution. This is accomplished without any degradation to video quality, decreases to fps or recorded resolution. The end result is lower overall cost of video management system operation.

Vicon’s new line of H.265 cameras includes a selection of form factors, with resolutions ranging from 2 to 5 megapixels and a choice of fixed or varifocal lenses.

V800 Series: Available as mini-bullets (V810B) and indoor domes (V800D), these cameras combine excellent quality video with cost-effective and easy-to-install housings. All offer PoE, WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), multi-streaming, and a range of other features that vary by specific model.

V930/V9500 Series: These turret cameras combine the durability of a bullet camera with the ease of positioning offered by a dome; they are designed for demanding indoor or outdoor use and feature a fixed (V930D) or motorized varifocal autoiris (V9500D) lens and IR illuminators. The V930EZ includes integrated pan/tilt motors that enable remote adjustment of the field of view; the V930D/V9500D can be positioned manually. All offer PoE, WDR and triple streaming. The V930EZ model includes an SD slot for local storage.

V940 Series: These bullet (V940B) and dome (V940D) cameras are designed for use in the most demanding environments, featuring rugged construction and impact resistant housing. They can perform in even the lowest lighting conditions and offer an array of advanced features, including on-board Video Content Analysis (VCA) and smart IR LED technology.

Full camera specifications are posted on Vicon’s website: www.vicon-security.com/products/network-cameras/. Depending on the model, cameras will begin shipping in September or early October. Contact a Vicon sales representative for pricing information.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
