Overview

VIVOTEK IP8372 is a professional bullet camera offering 5-Megapixel or 1080p Full HD

resolution with superb image quality up to 30 fps. Featuring 5-Megapixel resolution and high-

performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology, the IP8372 offers extra-smooth

video and wide coverage.

The IP8372 employs many advanced features to allow users to fully utilize the high denition

video. The ePTZ function enables users to zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI) in the

camera view with only a few clicks of a mouse.

For installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera can be difcult due to

the level of image detail. The Smart Focus System allows for easy installation and adjustment

by adopting a lens with a built-in stepper motor that can remotely control the focal length and

precisely adjust the camera focus, offering hassle-free installation and maintenance.

Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the IP8372 is furnished with an auto-iris lens, a removable IR-

cut lter, and 30-meter IR illuminators for superior image quality around the clock. Moreover, the

IP67-rated housing protects against rain and dust and ensures functional operation in all types

of weather conditions. For easy management and waterproong, the IP8372 is also equipped

with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables within.

With other advanced features such as tamper detection, 802.3af compliant PoE, SD/SDHC/

SDXC card on-board storage, and two-way audio, the IP8372 is an all-in-one network camera

for detailed surveillance in outdoor environments.
