IK10 Impact Rating
The Viking has a motorized varifocal lens that allows you to optically zoom in to see a distant area more clearly. You can adjust the angle of view with our apps, over the web, or via your SCW NVR. Just like with a point-and-shoot camera or a pair of binoculars, when you narrow the field-of-view, you zoom in on an area and you can see more detail in that area. Although the Viking is a very popular camera for homes that have a mid-range (35-100 foot) points of concern like gates, roads or driveways, this camera is also frequently used is corporate environment such as long and narrow warehouse aisles.

Detect someone up to 200 feet
"Detecting" a face means being able to tell that a human face is in the picture.
Recognize someone up to 150 feet
"Recognizing" a face refers to being able to say "I have seen that person before" - even if you don't know or can't place who it is.
Identify someone up to 125 feet
"Identification" refers to being able to make out identifiable marks with enough certainty to make a sketch or claim.
What makes the Viking 8.0 Unique:
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
This Viking 8.0 has Wide Dynamic Range.
Wide Dynamic Range splits each frame/image into many boxes and it scans for in inaccuracies and adds the right amount exposure to create a balanced and high resolution video shot. Very useful when recording in situations where there can be a large difference in light levels.
Seeing in shadows: Understanding WDR
Admiral Line Camera Features:
Plug & Play with Admiral & Imperial NVRs
This Viking 8.0 will plug and play with our Admiral and Imperial line of NVRs.
Please note that our ip camera models with models numbers in the 26xxx format record in the new, more efficient H.265 compression codex and are intended to work with our Imperial and Admiral NVRs.
Built Tough: Commercial Grade Line
This Viking 8.0 is part of our Admiral commercial surveillance system line. Feel free to read more about these features and what commercial grade means to us, but here's a quick synopsis:
IP67 weatherproof rated - Full protection against dust, rain, sprinklers, water jets and even immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Low Temperature - Withstands extreme temperatures from the summers of Arizona to the winters in Minnesota. -22°F ~ 140 °F
Aluminum and Ceramic Molding - Feel confident in your investment with commercial grade housing that won’t crumble and decay like the plastic competition.
Anti Reflective Glass with Automotive grade LEDs - Commercial quality components that allow better light transmission and will last without dimming or fading over time.
Passes vibration and surge testing up to 6,0000 volts - SCW cameras can withstand vibration and surges up to 6,000 volts.
Easy 1 Click Firmware Update Process - Maintenance made easy.
750 Foot POE Extended Transmission: the old 300 foot limitations are a thing of the past.
Store 40% more data with H.265 video compression or switch back to H.264, if you need H.264 third-party integration support.

Set a schedule to get emails only on the hours of the day you want.
Get Push Notifications to the SCW Go Application for Android and iPhone.
Recording:
Create your own customizable record schedule, including recording based on the day of the week, hours of the day, or even choose not to record for periods of time. Set constant recording during business hours and only motion during closed hours.
Motion, VCA, or 24/7 Recording - Record based on motion detection, VCA (video content analysis), or set the system to record 24/7. You can even record based on alarm inputs!
No Recording Delay / Pre & Post Event Recording - If your system is set to record based on motion or VCA events, you can have a 60 second pre-event buffer to grab footage prior to the detection. You can also set the system to record up to 10 minutes after an incident is detected.
Customizable Motion Detection Recording through VCA events:
VCA features do vary by camera model. This Viking 8.0 supports these VCA features:
Intrusion Detection - Monitor areas with precision, define zones, set time thresholds, and sensitivity.
Line Crossing - Create virtual lines to detect people or objects crossing doors, entrances, and more.
Vandal Detection - Get alerts based on tampering detection, defocusing, or any dramatic scene changes.
Corridor Mode
This camera has Corridor Mode.
Corridor mode allows you to flip the image on its side so that you can change the 16x9 ratio to 9x16. This is advantageous in the case of hallways, side yards, or corridors (hence the name) where the extra space vertical space is needed and the extra horizontal space would only show you more wall or fence area. To use corridor mode, install the camera with the lens pointed 90 degrees from center and then enable the corridor mode on via our software.
ONVIF Conformant
This IP camera is ONVIF S Conformant.
ONVIF is an open industry standard encoding language for the interface of IP-based physical security products.
Bitrate - 8MP
At 8MP and 20 FPS, while recording at H.265, this camera should use 5Mbps of the NVR's bitrate budget. (With H.264, it should use ~10Mbps).
