Overview
VIVOTEK FE8173 is the latest sheye xed dome network camera from VIVOTEK, featuring a
detailed 3-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a sheye lens
for 180° panoramic view (wall mount) or 360° surround view (ceiling/oor/table mount) without
blind spots, the camera is able to provide coverage of wide, open indoor areas, such as airports,
shopping malls, train stations, retail stores, ofces and more.
The FE8173 offers various display layouts, including original surround view, panoramic view,
and regional view for various mounting applications. With the latest cutting-edge image process-
ing capabilities, hemispherical images captured from the sheye camera can be converted into
conventional rectilinear projection for viewing and analysis. In addition, in both the panoramic as
well as regional viewing modes, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily zoom
in and focus on a region of interest (ROI). The new cutting-edge pixel calculator function helps
the user to ensure the image quality of a desired area.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the FE8173 features a removable IR-cut lter,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/
SDXC card slot for on-board storage, and iViewer app support, the FE8173 is indisputably the
top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest coverage possible.
