Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the FE912-H-1Y utilizes a 1/2.3-inch CMOS image sensor capable of 12-megapixel still capture and 30 fps video streaming. The fixed f/2.0 aperture lens with a 1.2mm focal length is optimized for the fisheye distortion profile, providing extreme wide-angle coverage without moving parts. Video processing is handled by a capable engine that supports triple-stream encoding in H.265, H.264, and MJPEG formats, allowing for efficient bandwidth management and storage optimization based on network conditions and recording needs.
Network connectivity is established via a Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) RJ-45 port with comprehensive protocol support for seamless integration into existing infrastructure. The camera's operational envelope is defined by a low 9-watt maximum power draw and a wide operating temperature range from -10°C to 50°C, ensuring reliable performance in various indoor climates. Storage is facilitated through an onboard memory card slot, providing flexible local recording options alongside network video recorder (NVR) compatibility.

FAQ
What is the field of view of this Vivotek fisheye camera?
The Vivotek FE912-H-1Y provides a complete 180-degree field of view horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. This true fisheye lens captures everything in a hemispherical area in front of the camera, eliminating traditional blind spots. It's designed to monitor an entire room or wide area with a single device, making it highly efficient for coverage-focused applications like retail floors, lobbies, or warehouses.
Does this camera work in total darkness?
Yes, the camera is equipped with infrared (IR) night vision. This allows it to capture clear monochrome video in conditions with no ambient light. The IR illumination is built-in, ensuring 24/7 surveillance capability without requiring external lighting, which is essential for security monitoring during nighttime or in poorly lit indoor areas.
How is the Vivotek FE912-H-1Y powered?
This camera is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means both electrical power and network data are delivered through a single standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e/Cat6) connected to a PoE switch or injector. This greatly simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the camera, reducing wiring costs and improving deployment flexibility.
What video formats and resolutions does it support?
The camera supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression formats. The maximum video resolution is 2048 x 2048 pixels, and it can stream at up to 30 frames per second. H.265 offers the highest compression efficiency for saving bandwidth and storage, while H.264 ensures broad compatibility with most NVR systems. MJPEG provides high-quality individual frames suitable for detailed image capture.
What kind of AI analytics features are included?
The camera includes advanced AI analytics such as human detection and vehicle detection. These features allow the camera to intelligently differentiate between general motion (like moving shadows) and actual persons or vehicles, triggering more accurate alerts. This reduces false alarms and helps security personnel focus on relevant events, enhancing overall monitoring efficiency and response times.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Vivotek FE912-H-1Y is specified as an indoor camera. Its operating temperature range is from 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C), which covers most indoor environments. It is not rated for exposure to rain, dust, or extreme outdoor weather conditions. For outdoor monitoring, you would need a camera specifically designed and rated for outdoor use with appropriate weatherproofing.
