VIVOTEK VC8201 is a split-type camera system, which the camera unit and the video core are separated. With the separated design, it enables the camera unit to be much smaller, making installation easier as well as blending in decoration easily. In addition, the VC8201 can connect up to two 5-Megapixel camera units with 8-meter long cables (available separately), dramatically saving installation effort. The camera units CU8131 and CU8171 are designed as recessed dome type, in order to fit in the decoration. The CU8131 is equipped with a 1MP sensor and features WDR Pro technology, allowing the camera to capture clear images with high-contrast scenes. The CU8171 is built with a 5MP sensor and fisheye lens to provide a 360° surround view without blind spots. The VC8201 can support different combinations of two camera units, making the installation more flexible. Incorporating a number of advanced features of VIVOTEK cameras, including 3DNR, tamper detection, 802.3af compliant PoE, SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, and VIVOTEK's 32-channel recording software, the VC8201 is the best solution of indoor video surveillance.
