IR cut filter

With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let IR light enter the light sensor during low light conditions.

■ Auto mode

The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.

■ Day mode

In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block infrared light from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.

■ Night mode

In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor to accept infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.

■ Schedule mode

The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified schedule. Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in 24-hour clock time. By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00.

IMPORTANT:

1.Because the exposure settings are also available in the Profile setting, incorrect configurations such as a very high exposure level will let the camera consider it is operating in the Day mode even when the ambient light is actually low. The camera will falsely remove the IR cut filter, and thus results in distorted image colors.

Therefore, when the IR cut filter is in the Auto mode, the Profile setting is not available.

2.When set to the Night mode, the image display automatically changes to Black and White.

3.There is no Preview button in the Exposure window. Configuration changes are directly reflected in the live view window.

Equipped with a 2-megapixel sensor, these cameras are capable of delivering vivid, high-resolution images at 30 frames per second. The combination of WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology and IR (Infrared) illumination enhances their capability to capture clear images even in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes or during nighttime.

The cameras are designed for versatile monitoring with a powerful 30x optical zoom lens, enabling users to focus on distant subjects while maintaining sharp detail. This feature is particularly beneficial for large areas where fine details are crucial for identification purposes. The built-in P-Iris provides precise control over the aperture, thus optimizing depth of field, image clarity, and quality in various lighting conditions.

Furthermore, the Vivotek SD8363E and SD8363E-M are equipped with advanced network technology, including H.264 compression. This technology allows for reduced bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high video quality. The cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing the power and data to be transmitted through a single cable.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the intelligent video analytics feature incorporated into these models. Users benefit from automated capabilities such as motion detection, tampering detection, and a variety of customizable event triggers. These functionalities enhance the efficiency of surveillance operations, saving time and resources.

The design of the SD8363E-M variant includes additional features suited for various environmental challenges, such as IP66-rated and IK10-rated housing, ensuring resistance to harsh weather conditions and vandalism. This makes the SD8363E-M an ideal choice for outdoor installations in urban areas or high-risk environments.

In summary, the Vivotek SD8363E and SD8363E-M are cutting-edge surveillance solutions that integrate high-resolution imaging, powerful zoom capabilities, efficient compression technology, and robust environmental protection. These features make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from urban monitoring to commercial security.
