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, ofces 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.
