Vivotek FE9391-EHV-v2 12 Megapixel Outdoor Network Camera - Color - Fisheye - Black, White

VIVOTEK's FE9391-EHV-v2 is an outdoor fisheye network camera engineered to deliver panoramic surveillance with exceptional detail. Featuring a 12-megapixel sensor, this camera captures crisp, color-rich imagery across expansive scenes. Its WDR Pro technology maintains balanced exposure in high-contrast environments, while H.265 compression with Smart Stream III minimizes bandwidth and storage demands. Built for outdoor deployment, the FE9391-EHV-v2 combines flexible dewarping options with robust performance, making it an ideal solution for campuses, commercial properties, city surveillance, and large perimeter monitoring.

• Stunning 12-Megapixel Clarity for Comprehensive Coverage: The FE9391-EHV-v2’s 12MP sensor delivers outstanding detail across wide outdoor scenes. From distant signage to facial features and license plates, the high resolution supports precise analysis, effective evidence collection, and flexible digital zoom without sacrificing crucial details. This level of clarity helps security teams identify incidents quickly and confidently, even in large outdoor environments.
• 360-Degree Fisheye Lens with Flexible Dewarping: The built-in fisheye lens provides complete sphere coverage from a single vantage point, enabling holistic situational awareness of open areas, courtyards, and perimeters. With multiple dewarping modes, operators can display a full panorama, regional views, or targeted zones—allowing efficient monitoring with minimal camera placement.
• WDR Pro for Optimal Exposure in Challenging Light: Outdoor scenes often feature intense backlight, glare, or shadowed zones. WDR Pro preserves detail in both bright and dark areas, ensuring moving subjects, vehicles, and critical infrastructure remain visible. This feature is essential for accurate recognition during dawn, dusk, or inclement weather when lighting is unpredictable.
• Efficient H.265 with Smart Stream III for Bandwidth Savings: By leveraging H.265 encoding complemented by Smart Stream III, the FE9391-EHV-v2 delivers high-quality video at significantly reduced bandwidth and storage usage. This translates to cost savings on data traffic, easier remote viewing across multiple devices, and the ability to retain longer historical footage without expanding storage capacity.
• Rugged Outdoor Design with Color Options to Fit Your Aesthetic: Built to withstand outdoor conditions, FE9391-EHV-v2 is designed for exterior installations and is available in Black and White to blend with diverse architectural styles. The camera’s durable construction reduces maintenance needs and ensures dependable operation in rain, dust, heat, and cold environments.
