Vivotek FD9368-HTV 2 Megapixel Outdoor HD Network Camera - Dome - TAA Compliant

Discover the Vivotek FD9368-HTV, a robust 2-megapixel outdoor HD network camera built for demanding environments where clarity, reliability, and flexibility matter most. This dome-style camera blends cutting-edge imaging technology with a compact, weather-ready design to deliver superior surveillance across a variety of applications—from campus and city infrastructure to parking facilities and retail campuses. With advanced compression, intelligent stream management, and a versatile lens, the FD9368-HTV helps you capture high-quality video in changing light conditions and ensures you stay within bandwidth and storage budgets without compromising critical detail.

• The FD9368-HTV comes with a 2.8–12 mm varifocal lens, offering a flexible field of view that can be precisely tuned to protect perimeters, entrances, and focal points. The remote focus feature enables quick, on-site zoom and focus adjustments without disassembly, helping security teams deploy faster and reduce maintenance time while preserving camera integrity.
• Imaging excellence is driven by H.265 compression with Smart Stream III, which dramatically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining edge detail. This intelligent stream management ensures stable performance on networks with fluctuating loads, helping you maximize your existing infrastructure without sacrificing image quality.
• Night and challenging lighting are no longer obstacles thanks to SNV (Supreme Night Visibility) and WDR Pro. The camera delivers clearer daytime contrasts and balanced low-light performance, producing high-contrast, noise-free imagery in scenes with both bright highlights and dark shadows. This makes it ideal for entrances, façades, and street-level monitoring where lighting varies widely.
• Built-in IR illumination supports consistent surveillance after dark, extending visibility to areas beyond the reach of ambient light. With automatic IR illumination, the FD9368-HTV maintains visibility on edges, walkways, and entrances, ensuring you can review critical events even under the darkest conditions without extra lighting equipment.
• Designed for outdoor use and compliant with applicable procurement standards, the camera’s dome form factor provides a discreet, vandal-resistant appearance while delivering reliable performance in all weather conditions. The combination of a compact dome and rugged build makes installation on walls or ceilings straightforward, enabling flexible deployment across multiple sites.
