The World's First Complete IR Fisheye Solution Has Arrived

VIVOTEK FE8181 is the latest fisheye fixed dome network camera from VIVOTEK, featuring a detailed 5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a fisheye lens for 180° panoramic view (wall mount) or 360° surround view (ceiling/floor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera is able to provide coverage of wide, open areas, such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices and more.

The FE8181, true day/night camera, features a removable IR-cut filter, maintaining clear images 24 hours a day, with built-in IR LEDs enabling the camera to provide uniformly 360° surround illumination for clear viewing up to 10 meters, even in completely dark environments.
