The Viewtron IP-A8BZ is a dome 4K IP camera with excellent IR night vision and a wide angle lens (motorized varifocal). I recently added this Viewtron dome IP camera to my home security camera system. Watch this video to see some day and night-time infrared video surveillance that I recorded with it.
Dome IP Camera Installation
The 4K dome IP camera that I recorded the above video surveillance with is installed above my garage door 9 feet, 4 inches from the ground.
My house is set back 35 feet from the street. I am showing this for perspective on how large of an area at my home this IP camera monitors.
The width if my front yard extends from just to the left of that oak tree to my mail box. This area is 65 feet wide. When I recorded the video surveillance footage, I had the motorized varifical lens of the camera set to the widest angle, which is 2.8mm. The Viewtron IP-A8DZ has a motorized / autofocus 2.8-12mm lens.
Turret-Style Dome IP Camera
The IP-A8DZ is enclosed in an IP67 weatherproof rated turret-style dome housing. The gimbal style allows installers to mount this camera to a wall or ceiling. The IP67 weatherproof rating holds up to harsh weather climates, wet and cold. This camera is great for indoor and outdoor installations.
Video Surveillance Snapshot Images
I saved a few snapshot images when I was recording. Here is the normal light daytime image captured by the Viewtron dome.
IR Night Vision Surveillance
Here is a night time snapshot using the camera’s built-in IR night vision. Please note that there is a street light in front of my house that provides ambient light. So, this is not a zero light infrared test.
Motorized Varifical Lens with Auto-Focus
The Viewtron IP-A8DZ has a motorized varifocal lens with auto-focus. The Viewtron IP-A8BZ (the bullet version of this camera) also has a 2.8-12mm motorized lens. Watch the above video to see the angle of view range that this lens provides. You can see the original blog post here: 4K IP Camera with Motorized Varifocal Lens.
Viewtron NVR
All of the security cameras at my house are Viewtron IP cameras that are hard wired to a 8 channel Viewtron NVR. All of the cameras are connected to the NVR’s built-in PoE ports.
IP Camera with AI Software
The Viewtron IP-A8DZ is an AI security camera that supports human detection, vehicle detection, and face detection / facial recognition. You can watch videos of the Viewtron AI software performing all of these functions on our Viewtron AI camera video page.
