Full Product Description
The VIVOTEK IT9389-HTVW-V3 is a smart 5MP outdoor turret camera built for users who want more than just recording. With a motorised varifocal 2.8-12mm lens, it gives you the flexibility to adjust the viewing angle for wide-area monitoring or tighter identification zones without needing to swap lenses. It records at up to 2560 x 1920 resolution at 30fps, helping capture clear video in demanding residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
One of the standout features of this model is its dual-light design. It combines infrared illumination up to 40 metres with warm light up to 30 metres, allowing the camera to operate in different night modes depending on the application. This makes it suitable both for discreet night monitoring and for more visible, proactive deterrence where colour footage and an obvious warning presence are preferred.
For sites that want active deterrence, the camera also includes auto alarm deterrence and a real-time built-in speaker, plus a built-in microphone and support for full duplex two-way audio. That makes it useful for entry areas, shopfronts, driveways, small warehouses, offices, schools, and similar spaces where both surveillance and audio interaction matter.
On the analytics side, this model uses a built-in hardware deep learning accelerator and supports Smart Motion Detection and Smart VCA. It can identify people and vehicles, and supports functions such as intrusion detection, loitering detection, line crossing, face detection, unattended object detection, missing object detection, and crowd detection. VIVOTEK also lists additional licensed analytics such as running detection, parking violation detection, and restricted zone detection.
Installation is straightforward with PoE support, and the camera can record to microSD cards up to 1TB or to NAS storage. It also supports ONVIF Profiles G, S, T and M, which helps with integration into compatible third-party VMS and NVR platforms. The housing is rated IP66 for weather resistance and IK10 for vandal resistance, making it suitable for demanding outdoor conditions.
Ideal For
- Homes needing better perimeter coverage
- Shopfronts and small businesses
- Warehouses and loading areas
- Entry points and gates
- Schools and commercial sites
- Installations needing audio + deterrence + AI detection
