The Vivotek FD9171HT is the first professional H.265 fixed dome network camera. By utilizing Vivotek's advanced Smart Stream II technology, the camera is capable of optimizing resolution for a desired object or area, ensuring maximum bandwidth efficiency. The combination of both technologies, H.265 and Smart Stream II, reduces bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 80% while maintaining high image quality. This unique blend of high resolution and low storage consumption makes the FD9171HT suitable for a wide range of video surveillance applications. Additionally, the camera features WDR Pro technology, allowing it to perform well in challenging lighting situations such as glaring backlight or direct sunlight. To further enhance the operational range of the FD9171HT, the camera is equipped with SNV technology, which enables high-quality full-color video surveillance even in poor lighting conditions. Together, these features provide the camera with video quality that closely resembles the capabilities of the human eye. Furthermore, the software within the camera has been improved to adapt to its environment. The software optimally controls the aperture of the FD9171HT lens at all times, resulting in superior sharpness and depth of field. To achieve optimal focus and fully leverage higher resolutions, the FD9171HT offers remote focus. With the integrated stepper motor and P-Iris lens, focal length and sharpness can be conveniently adjusted from a distance. For more accurate motion detection, the FD9171HT also includes a PIR sensor.
