VIVOTEK Completes Road Shows in Europe
VIVOTEK recently further strengthened our presence in Europe with several road shows in Belgium, France, and Italy in October. These events were attended to capacity by system integrators, software partners, and local retailers. Apart from revealing upcoming products scheduled for the coming season, VIVOTEK also demonstrated comprehensive solutions for specific vertical markets such as traffic monitoring and vehicular surveillance. Attendants were amazed by the stunning clarity of vehicle license plate images and the sophisticated details presented by the 2MP IP7161, IP8161, and FD7160 network cameras installed for traffic monitoring. Additionally, the newly launched IP7361 network bullet camera with mounting bracket for protected installation functions as a true all-in-one surveillance solution for outdoor environments. "Through these road shows, we are able to improve regional customers' understanding of our solutions and deliver the message of our product development commitment. They serve as excellent platforms for increasing our company profile and educating the public on what we do and why we do it." said Owen Chen, Chairman of VIVOTEK Inc.

2-megapixel H.264 Day & Night Fixed Network Camera IP8161
VIVOTEK IP8161 is a professional-series fixed network camera featuring superb image quality and exceptional bandwidth efficiency. It is especially suitable for wide open spaces such as building entrances and airports, or applications requiring accurate identification, such as human faces in banks or vehicle license plates in parking lots. Featuring a 2-megapixel sensor, this camera is able to provide a wide field of view with exceptional detail when compared to a standard VGA camera, significantly reducing the number of camera installations. The ePTZ function enables users to focus on close-up shots of different areas in the camera’s view without moving the camera physically. Users can quickly move to a target area by simply clicking on the video feed from the camera on their screen. In addition, the IP8161 can deliver user-defined thumbnails for viewing instead of video of an entire scene so as to optimize bandwidth and storage efficiency.

The IP8161 supports H.264 compression technology, drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG compatibility, video streams can also be transmitted in either of these formats for versatile applications. The streams can also be individually configured to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints, thereby further reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Users can receive multiple streams simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates and image qualities for viewing on different platforms. Thanks to its day and night function achieved by a built-in removable IR-cut filter, the IP8161 is able to maintain clear images 24 hours a day. Additionally, the IP8161 camera incorporates an adjustment ring to improve lens compatibility with either C- or CS-mount lens, providing system integrators with more flexibility and hassle-free installation for different applications. The built-in SD/SDHC card slot offers a convenient and portable storage option to prevent data loss in case of network disconnection. Data security with the IP8161 is further enhanced with HTTPS encryption and 802.1x authentication. Together with PoE, QoS, activity adaptive streaming, and the included 32-CH central management software, the IP8161 is indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance.
