by Mark Rowe

A new launch by VIVOTEK, their 3MP WDR mini-box network camera IP8173H.

Designed in a mini-box form factor, the camera fits into a range of enclosures with a CS-mount lens. The makers say it’s offering flexible installation for retail, government, industrial, hotel security and city use.

Featuring a 3-Megapixel WDR CMOS sensor, the product enables viewing resolution of 2048×1536 at 20 frames per second (fps) or 1920×1080 at 30 fps. The WDR Pro feature allows the camera to deliver image quality under challenging lighting and secure video quality close to the capabilities of the human eye by capturing both the dark and bright parts of an image. The images are then combined. And with a removable IR-cut filter, IP8173H can help identify objects with quality images at all hours.

For image sharpness and depth of field, IP8173H comes with a P-iris lens with a built-in stepper motor, which controls the iris with precision and maintains the iris opening at an optimal level at all times. The image quality is the makers add thus enhanced for objects at different distances.

Steve Ma, VIVOTEK’s Executive Vice President, said: “High resolution is becoming the de facto standard in network cameras nowadays. However, high resolution does not guarantee image quality and usability under dynamic lighting conditions. VIVOTEK has invested substantial effort and R&D resources into the development of advanced technologies to consistently improve the image quality of our cameras. In addition, we are also dedicated to the miniaturization of the cameras’ physical appearance in order to make our cameras more stylish and convenient to users. IP8173H exactly embodies the synergy of compact size, high resolution and high image quality.”
