The physically independent core unit handles video processing tasks such as storage, compression, and interfacing with the network, and can connect to either one or, more interestingly, two independent camera units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis split core\/camera approach provides a number of advantages over conventional designs, including the ability to support multiple camera types in a single installation, more discreet camera appearance, simpler installation, greater implementation flexibility, easy camera replacement or upgrades, and lower total cost of ownership. Together, these advantages enable a superior solution for established and emerging security applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VC8201 supports up to two cameras, which can be of the same or different types, providing unprecedented flexibility. Two cameras can be used to monitor physically partitioned spaces such as adjoining rooms, a single large space, or to provide different types of views simultaneously, among other possible usage scenarios.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimplified Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe support for two cameras with a single network-connected video core that would require two separate network- connected devices in a more conventional design reduces installation time and costs. In addition, the CU8131 and CU8171 cameras currently available for use with the VC8201 system offer a special self-locking mechanism that secures them into place without the need for screws.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess Cabling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach camera unit is connected to the core unit via a single cable that supplies power, and transmits both video data and audio from built-in microphones on the CU8131 and CU8171.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreater Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the two camera units that can be connected to the core unit can be positioned up to 8 meters away. The 8-meter cable length allows a larger area to be monitored with a single installation, in addition to the greater coverage that two camera units can of course provide.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Compact Cameras:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy separating out processing tasks to the core unit, the camera units themselves can adopt a more compact, lighter design. This feature makes them ideal for locations such as structurally weak ceilings or in vehicles, where bulkier cameras present installation challenges.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Discreet Appearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe smaller camera form factor enabled by the split core\/camera design also allows a less obtrusive appearance where there are aesthetic concerns or to reduce the risk of opportunistic tampering or vandalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasier Maintenance and Upgrades:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe modular design of the VC8201 makes removing individual camera units for maintenance or replacement extremely easy. Moreover, upgrades can also be easily accomplished, since they need only involve swapping out of a camera unit and not replacement of the entire system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLower Total Cost of Ownership:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VC8201's support for the functionality of two cameras in a single system makes it more cost-effective. The VC8201's use of a single IP address and Ethernet port can also mean lower license fees for some third-party video management software. Together with reduced costs in areas such as cabling, installation, and maintenance, these features mean the VC8201 can offer a lower total cost of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Up to 2 Camera Units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Camera Options: 1MP WDR or 5MP Fisheye Camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecessed Mount Camera Units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Microphone on Camera Units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum 8 Meters Cable Connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-time H.264 and MJPEG Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in IEEE 802.3af Compliant PoE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D Noise Reduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vivotek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47905289175291,"sku":"VC8201-M11","price":403.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/5032\/0891\/files\/VC8201.png?v=1769698548","url":"https:\/\/www.cctvbestbuys.com\/products\/vivotek-vc8201-m11-vivotek-vc8201-m11-15mp-split-type-camera-system-cu8131x2","provider":"CCTVBestBuys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
