IP security camera VIVOTEK FE9380-HV

The VIVOTEK FE9380-HV is a 5-megapixel IP security camera engineered for continuous 360° surveillance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Delivering a 1920 x 1920 resolution and a full fisheye view, the camera captures a complete panoramic scene with a 180° horizontal, vertical and diagonal viewing range. Designed as a dome unit for ceiling or wall mounting and available in black or white, the FE9380-HV combines a compact form factor with rugged protection for all-day monitoring.

Advantages

The camera provides high-resolution 5MP imaging at up to 30 fps, supporting clear detail capture and smooth motion reproduction. A removable IR-cut filter and 360° infrared illumination with up to 10 meters radius enable true day/night operation. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR Pro 120 dB) maintains image clarity in high-contrast lighting. Robust environmental ratings ensure reliable outdoor use, and efficient H.265 compression together with Smart Stream III technology significantly reduces bandwidth and storage demands.

Suitable for

• Large indoor public spaces requiring panoramic coverage (lobbies, retail floors)
• Outdoor perimeters and entrances where vandal resistance and weather protection are needed
• 24/7 surveillance scenarios with variable lighting conditions
• Applications aiming to optimize storage and network usage while preserving image detail

How to use

Mount the dome camera on a ceiling or wall using appropriate anchors for the installation surface. Configure camera orientation to cover the target area for panoramic surveillance and connect the device to the network according to standard IP camera setup procedures. Use the camera’s web interface or a VIVOTEK-compatible VMS to set resolution, frame rate and compression settings. Enable WDR and day/night modes as required and configure IR illumination for low-light operation. Test the 360° view and, if needed, apply dewarp or multi-view settings in the client software to obtain conventional perspectives from the fisheye image.

Recommendations

For optimal results in outdoor or high-contrast environments, place the camera to minimize direct exposure to strong light sources and perform periodic cleaning of the dome cover. Use H.265 with Smart Stream III to balance image quality and storage consumption, and verify mounting anchors meet IK10 and IP66 requirements for vandal and weather protection.
