Taipei, Taiwan – VIVOTEK has won Camera Excellence Awards at Secutech International Security Expo for two consecutive years. The winning model this year is the IP8172.

Presented by Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd, this year's Secutech International Security Expo took place at Taipei World Trade Centre, Nangang Exhibition Hall, from April 18 to April 20.

"I would like to congratulate VIVOTEK on another successful exhibition, as usual, and of course, bringing home the trophy for the second time," said Parson Lee, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd. "They deserve the award and I look forward to their competing model for next year’s Secutech."

As the first 5-Megapixel network-based box camera from VIVOTEK, the IP8172 is destined to impress. With 1080p full HD viewing resolution at 30 frames per second (fps), the VIVOTEK IP8172, just like all other models, present crystal clear footage with exceptional details.

The vari-focal, auto-iris lens also offers great flexibility and versatility for various applications. To make installation easier in any environment, built-in focus assist button is available for precise focus adjustment, putting users and integrators at ease.

Additionally, the VIVOTEK IP8172 is well designed to ensure uncompromised image quality under challenging lighting conditions. Not only does it come with removable IR-cut filter for Day & Night function, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) enhanced technology is implemented on the device for unparalleled visibility in extremely bright and dark environments.

Other advanced features on the IP8172 include Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, industry-standard real-time H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG Compression (Triple Codec) and most importantly, built-in SD/SDHC card slot for on-board storage, which renders this masterpiece a perfect stand-alone, all-in-one surveillance solution.

"On behalf the entire VIVOTEK team, I would like to thank the judges for their recognition, as it is an honour for us to be awarded by a group of such professional industry elites two years in a row," said William Ku, Director of Brand Business at VIVOTEK. The winning model last year is the IP8162P.

"VIVOTEK takes pride in designing and producing high-performance, world-class network-based cameras to inspire and raise standards for all members of the security industry," William added.
