Overview
VIVOTEK’s outdoor day/night network camera IP7142 is equipped with a wide dynamic range
CMOS sensor to cope with any challenging lighting conditions.
Designed for outdoor 24-hour surveillance, IP7142 features the basics of day and night and
vandal-proof functions that users can easily build up a cost-effective IP surveillance system without
additional accessories. With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, up to 15m, it
can automatically remove the filter and turn on the IR illuminators during the nighttime to accept
IR illumination for low light sensitivity. Meanwhile, the IP66-rated integrated housing shields this
camera from dust and water, allowing it to be applied in harsh weather conditions of outdoor
environments.
IP7142 with WDR (Wide dynamic range) feature can be very helpful to cope with very challenging
lighting conditions. It is capable of capturing both of the dark part and bright part and combining
the differences into a scene to generate a highly realistic image as the original scene. Because
it preserves as much information in the video as possible, IP7142 helps provide video quality
closer to the capabilities of the human eye. Consequently, it is largely applied in highly contrast
environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATM, loading areas and much more.
Incorporating numbers of advanced features including simultaneous dual streams, 3GPP mobile
surveillance, 802.3af compliant PoE, two-way audio by SIP protocol, RS-485 interface for scanners
or pan/tilts driver connection, and HTTPS encrypted data transmission, VIVOTEK IP7142 allows
users to boost your robust IP surveillance system by reproducing clear images in proper color in
extreme high-contrast environments for your indoor/outdoor security and monitoring applications.
