Overview
VIVOTEK SF8172/72V are the latest sheye xed dome network cameras from VIVOTEK,
featuring a detailed 5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a
sheye lens for 360° surround view (ceiling/oor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera
is able to provide coverage of wide, open areas, such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots,
retail stores, ofces and more.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SF8172/72V feature removable IR-cut lters,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. SF8172V’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the
camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather
conditions; additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protec-
tion from physical damage. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card
slot for on-board storage, EN50155 (SF8172V only) and iPad applications, the SF8172/72V are
indisputably the top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest cover-
age possible.
Moreover, SF8172/72V are compatible with the VIVOTEK Panoramic PTZ solution. Panoramic
PTZ is a groundbreaking new technology developed by VIVOTEK for monitoring open areas
with extreme detail. This feature is realized through the synergy of a VIVOTEK megapixel sh-
eye camera with speed dome camera, and allows users to simultaneously monitor an area
overview from a sheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from a
speed dome. Suitable applications for Panoramic PTZ include department stores, station lob-
bies, airports, parking lots, and any wide open areas where comprehensive video surveillance
systems and the capability for extreme video detail are essential.
