Click Sensor Settings to open the Sensor Settings page. On this page, you can set the maximum exposure time, exposure level, and AGC (Auto Gain Control) settings.

You can configure two sets of sensor settings: one for normal situations, the other for special situations, such as day/night/schedule mode.

Sensor Setting 1:

For normal situations

Sensor Setting 2:

For special situations

Exposure

Maximum Exposure Time: Select a proper maximum exposure time according to the light source of the

surroundings. The exposure times are selectable for the following durations: 1/480, 1/240, 1/120, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, and 1/5 second. Shorter exposure time results in less light.

Exposure level: You can manually set the Exposure level, which ranges from 1 to 8 (dark to bright).The default value is 4.

Max gain (Auto Gain Control): You can manually set the AGC level (2X 4X, or 8X). The default value is 4X.

Enable BLC (Back Light Compensation): Enable this option when the object is too dark or too bright to recognize. It allows the camera to adjust to the best light conditions in any environment and automatically give the necessary light compensation.

You can click Preview to see the effects of the configuration change, or click Restore to recall the original settings without incorporating the changes. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page.

The camera utilizes a progressive scan CMOS sensor that captures sharp, vibrant images even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the IP8361 supports H.264 compression technology, which not only optimizes bandwidth usage but also ensures that the camera can deliver high-definition video without sacrificing storage space.

The camera also boasts a wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, which enhances visibility in scenes with both bright and dark areas. This capability is essential for outdoor installations where the lighting conditions can vary significantly. The IP8361's infrared (IR) illuminators enable night-time monitoring, providing clear images in total darkness, thanks to its effective IR range of up to 30 meters.

In terms of installation flexibility, the Vivotek IP8361 is equipped with a 3-axis mechanism, allowing for easy adjustment during setup. Its IP66-rated housing ensures protection against dust and water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The camera's robust design ensures it can withstand harsh environmental conditions.

The IP8361 incorporates Vivotek's Smart Stream technology, which optimizes bandwidth efficiency by dynamically adjusting the resolution and frame rate according to the scene complexity. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with limited bandwidth, as it allows them to maintain high-quality recordings without overloading their network.

Furthermore, the camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by reducing the need for additional cabling. The integration with various video management software (VMS) enhances its adaptability, making it compatible with numerous surveillance systems.

With dual codec support, the IP8361 allows simultaneous streaming of H.264 and MJPEG video, providing flexibility in streaming options for different monitoring needs.

Overall, the Vivotek IP8361 stands out as a feature-rich, reliable network camera that delivers exceptional performance for modern surveillance needs, making it a solid choice for various applications.
