Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera captures video at 5 megapixels (2560x1920), providing over twice the pixel density of standard 1080p HD cameras. The triple-codec support includes modern H.265 compression, which reduces bandwidth and storage demands by up to 50% compared to H.264 while maintaining visual quality. The CMOS sensor enables lower power consumption and cost-effective operation without compromising on HD video output.
Night vision extends to 98.43 feet (30 meters) using two integrated IR LEDs, ensuring reliable monochrome imaging in total darkness. The zoom lens offers a 4.3x optical range, allowing precise adjustment of the viewing angle from wide-area coverage to focused detail. Wired Ethernet connectivity ensures stable network integration, and remote management capabilities enable configuration and monitoring from a central security platform.
This section brings together practical product details such as HD Recording, Recording Formats, Night Vision Distance, Image Sensor Type, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The FD9388-HTV combines high-resolution imaging, robust construction, and compliance features that matter for professional surveillance. Its TAA compliance ensures eligibility for federal and state contracts, while the outdoor-rated dome housing stands up to rain, dust, and temperature extremes.
Enhanced Low-Light Performance
With 98-foot infrared illumination and a sensitive CMOS sensor, the camera delivers clear monochrome video in pitch-black conditions, reducing blind spots in 24/7 monitoring scenarios.
- 2 IR LEDs for consistent illumination
- Automatic day/night switching
Bandwidth-Efficient Streaming
H.265 support cuts bandwidth use by half versus H.264, allowing more cameras on the same network without upgrading infrastructure—ideal for large-scale deployments.
- Reduces storage costs
- Maintains 5MP detail
Deployment / Use Cases
This camera is designed for perimeter security, entry-point monitoring, and outdoor asset protection. Its conduit and bracket mounting options facilitate installation on walls, ceilings, or poles, providing flexibility for both new builds and retrofits.
Typical applications include school campuses, government facilities, retail storefronts, and warehouse exteriors. The zoom lens allows adjustment after installation, so one camera can cover a broad area or zoom in on specific points like license plates or doorways. Integration with VMS platforms and NVRs is straightforward via standard ONVIF profiles, ensuring compatibility with existing security ecosystems.
Perimeter & Gate Surveillance
Monitor fence lines, gates, and parking lots with wide-angle views and the ability to zoom in on suspicious activity, all in 5MP clarity.
- Weatherproof dome housing
- Tamper-resistant design
24/7 Critical Infrastructure
Deploy at utilities, transportation hubs, or data centers where continuous, high-resolution coverage and TAA compliance are mandatory.
- Suitable for harsh environments
- Remote management for off-site oversight
Physical Profile
The camera features a compact dome enclosure measuring 5.26 inches (133.7 mm) in diameter, designed for discreet mounting. Weighing 819 grams, it remains lightweight enough for ceiling installations without requiring heavy-duty supports. The finish resists UV degradation and corrosion, maintaining appearance and function in coastal or industrial atmospheres.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 819 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the maximum video resolution of the Vivotek FD9388-HTV?
The camera records at 5 megapixels, which equates to a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels. This provides significantly finer detail than standard 1080p HD cameras, allowing for clearer identification of faces, license plates, and other critical details in surveillance footage.
How far does the night vision reach on this camera?
Night vision is effective up to 98.43 feet (30 meters) thanks to two built-in infrared LEDs. The camera automatically switches to monochrome mode in low light, delivering clear black-and-white video even in complete darkness for round-the-clock monitoring.
Does this camera support H.265 video compression?
Yes, the FD9388-HTV supports H.265 along with H.264 and MJPEG formats. H.265 compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by approximately 50% compared to H.264 while maintaining the same 5MP video quality, making it ideal for networks with limited capacity or large multi-camera installations.
What mounting options are available for this dome camera?
