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, ofces 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.
