Description
The Vivotek CC9160-H is a purpose-built, low-profile indoor network camera designed to deliver comprehensive 180° panoramic surveillance without drawing attention to itself. With a sleek white housing and compact form, this camera blends seamlessly into retail spaces, hotels, classrooms, cafes, and other indoor environments where space is at a premium but security remains critical. Engineered for reliable performance in varied lighting conditions, the CC9160-H pairs a 2 Megapixel sensor with Vivotek’s advanced imaging technology to produce crisp, detailed video that supports effective monitoring, incident review, and evidence gathering.
- 180° Panoramic Coverage: The CC9160-H captures an expansive field of view that minimizes blind spots and reduces the need for multiple cameras in smaller spaces. This wide-angle capability is ideal for crowed lobbies, store aisles, classrooms, coffee shops, and hotel corridors, where a single camera can monitor large areas with clarity. The result is smarter placement, fewer points of failure, and simplified surveillance workflows.
- 2 Megapixel Full HD Clarity: With a 1080p resolution, the CC9160-H delivers clear and detailed imagery suitable for identifying activity, faces, and objects within the camera’s panoramic frame. This level of resolution supports effective security review, customer and staff safety monitoring, and integration with standard IP-based recording systems. The color rendition remains accurate in typical indoor lighting, helping operators interpret scenes quickly and accurately.
- High Dynamic Range (WDR Pro) at 120 dB: The WDR Pro 120 dB technology balances exposure in scenes with contrasting lighting—glare from windows, backlit signage, or lighting contrast between rooms. This ensures that both bright and dark areas are visible in a single frame, reducing the need to adjust camera position or exposure settings to capture useful details. For spaces like storefronts, hotel lobbies, or classrooms with windows, the CC9160-H provides consistent image quality across a range of lighting conditions.
- Discreet, Low-Profile Design: The CC9160-H’s compact, inconspicuous housing in white blends with interior aesthetics while still delivering robust surveillance capability. The low-profile form is particularly well-suited to retail environments, cafes, and other customer-facing spaces where a bulky camera could be visually intrusive. Its discreet design helps maintain an ambiance while maintaining security coverage that can help deter theft and ensure safe operations.
- Versatile Indoor Security for Various Environments: Whether deployed in a small boutique, a busy hotel reception, or an educational setting, the CC9160-H provides flexible monitoring options. Its network connectivity supports easy integration with existing IP infrastructure, enabling remote monitoring, centralized video management, and scalable security deployments. The camera’s color presentation and panoramic view make it a reliable choice for facilities seeking broad coverage with minimal hardware.

How to Install Vivotek CC9160-H
Installing the CC9160-H is designed to be straightforward for professional installers and security teams familiar with IP cameras. Begin by selecting an indoor mounting location that provides a full view of the area you want to monitor while keeping cables out of sight to preserve aesthetics. If your network supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), you can simplify installation by powering the camera directly through your PoE switch or injector, minimizing the number of cables and adapters required.
Step 1: Plan placement. Determine the optimal position for maximizing 180° coverage. Consider sightlines across entryways, aisles, and critical zones while avoiding direct glare or strong backlighting that could challenge exposure settings. Step 2: Run cabling. Use Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable to connect the CC9160-H to your network. If PoE is available, connect to a PoE port on your switch or injector. Step 3: Mount the camera. Secure the camera to the chosen surface using the supplied mounting hardware and verify that the device sits level and firmly attached. Step 4: Connect to the network. Probe for network connectivity and ensure the camera is assigned an IP address via your DHCP server or a static IP configuration if your security policy requires it. Step 5: Access the web interface. Open a browser and enter the camera's IP address to access the setup portal. Step 6: Configure video and streaming. Set the resolution to 1080p, enable WDR Pro 120 dB, and adjust frame rate to desired levels. Step 7: Calibrate 180° panorama. Align the camera to ensure the panoramic view covers critical zones and overlapping margins with any neighboring cameras. Step 8: Fine-tune image quality. Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, and noise reduction to suit indoor lighting conditions. Step 9: Set up alerts and recording. Define motion detection zones, alert schedules, and link the camera to your NVR or VMS for continuous recording and event notifications. Step 10: Test and document. Run through typical scenarios—entry, counter transactions, and common blind spots—to verify coverage and note any adjustments for future reference.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What environments is the CC9160-H best suited for?
A: The CC9160-H is designed for indoor use in spaces such as retail stores, cafes, hotels, classrooms, and other indoor areas requiring discreet, wide-area surveillance with high dynamic range for challenging lighting conditions.
Q: Does the CC9160-H support PoE?
A: Yes. The CC9160-H is compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) where your network infrastructure provides PoE capability, simplifying installation by delivering power and data over a single cable.
Q: What is the benefit of 180° panoramic coverage?
