Both cameras feature 1080p full HD resolution for superb image quality at up to 30 fps, and are equipped with a removable IR-cut filter, 15-metre IR illuminators and Smart IR technology for avoiding overexposure under low light conditions. They also include a WDR enhancement aimed at achieving unparalleled visibility in high contrast environments to secure high video quality and provide accurate identification around the clock.

The FD8363, is the outdoor version of the FD8163, and is equipped with additional special features to support operation under harsh outdoor environments, which include the IP66-rated housing for shielding the camera against rain and dust and the metal vandal-proof housing for protecting it from vandalism. Hence, the FD8363 is especially suitable for monitoring areas such as building entrances and airports, while the FD8163 is ideal for lobbies and educational facilities.

For customers, maintaining optimal focus in dynamic public environments with complex image details, both indoors or outdoors, can be costly because of labour and time consumption. From this perspective, Vivotek has innovatively developed their revolutionary smart focus system, including an easy focus button and remote focus, making image adjustment easier and more efficient. By adopting a 3 - 9 mm motorised DC-iris lens, focal length adjustment can be performed remotely without any physical access, enhancing customer convenience while securing superb image quality.

Steve Ma, Vivotek’s Executive VP, stated, “Bearing in mind market demands and additional smart functions for our customers, we at Vivotek have developed our latest fixed dome cameras with several outstanding and enhanced capabilities such as smart IR and the smart focus system. Vivotek’s newly launched FD8163 and FD8363, with their cost effectiveness, superb image quality, and easy-to-use features, are undoubtedly two ideal choices for more robust indoor and outdoor surveillance.”
