Overview
VIVOTEK SF8174/74V are the latest sheye xed dome network cameras featuring a detailed
5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a sheye lens for 360°
surround view (ceiling/oor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera is able to provide cov-
erage of wide, open areas, such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, ofces
and more.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SF8174/74V feature removable IR-cut lters,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. SF8174V’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the
camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather
conditions; additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protec-
tion from physical damage. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card
slot for on-board storage and EN50155 (SF8174V only), the SF8174/74V are indisputably the
top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest coverage possible.
Moreover, SF8174/74V are compatible with the VIVOTEK Panoramic PTZ solution. Panoramic
PTZ is a groundbreaking new technology developed by VIVOTEK for monitoring open areas
with extreme detail. This feature is realized through the synergy of a VIVOTEK megapixel sh-
eye camera with a speed dome camera, and allows users to simultaneously monitor an area
overview from a sheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from a
speed dome. Suitable applications for Panoramic PTZ include department stores, station lob-
bies, airports, parking lots, and any wide open areas where comprehensive video surveillance
systems and the capability for extreme video detail are essential.
