Overview
VIVOTEK’s FD8173-H and FD8373-EHV network camera features a 3-Megapixel WDR CMOS
sensor to cope with challenging lighting conditions� The WDR Pro feature allows the camera to
capture both the dark and bright areas of an image and combine the differences to generate a
highly realistic representation of the original scene� This feature enables the camera to provide
video quality very close to the capabilities of the human eye� The camera can be deployed
widely in high contrast outdoor environments such as parking areas and streets� The P-iris
lens controls the iris with extreme precision; with its built-in stepper motor, it maintains the iris
opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior image clarity and depth of field.
The FD8373-EHB features an IP66-rated housing that is designed to help the camera body
withstand rain and dust and ensures smooth operation even under a multitude of harsh
weather conditions while its IK10-rated housing can provide the protection against the vandal
act and impact� Additionally, the wide temperature range further enhances the FD8373-EHV’s
performance and reliability in extremely cold environments�
