Vivotek FE9180-H-V2 5MP Indoor Fisheye Camera with Microphone
The Vivotek FE9180-H-V2 captures a circular fisheye view for broad scene monitoring. Follow activity around a room or access area from one position, with viewing layouts that help you review individual regions. Available from CTC Communications with Australia-wide delivery and professional Sydney installation.
Key Features
- 5MP sensor class with 1920 × 1920 video output.
- 360° overview from a suitable ceiling-mounted position.
- Local dewarping and built-in microphone.
- WDR Pro for mixed lighting.
- Compact indoor camera powered by PoE.
Fisheye Coverage and Dewarping
A fisheye image provides a broad overview. Dewarping reshapes portions of the circular image into easier-to-read panoramic or regional views. Ceiling and wall mounting produce different coverage and viewing layouts. Confirm that your recorder and viewing software support the dewarping modes you need before ordering.
Choose camera height and position around the activity you want to monitor. Wide coverage spreads image detail over a large area, so a dedicated close-up camera may be useful where facial or number-plate detail matters. Digital zoom cannot restore detail that was not captured.
Indoor Lighting Requirements
This indoor model has no built-in infrared illuminators. Provide suitable ambient lighting for the intended recording conditions, especially after hours. WDR helps manage bright entrances and shaded areas within the scene.

Recording and System Requirements
Arrange compatible PoE power, network cabling and recording storage. Confirm mounting accessories, memory cards and software requirements with CTC. Match recorder capacity and bandwidth to the stream settings; retention depends on storage, bitrate and schedule. Test motion recording, audio playback and dewarped views during commissioning.
