The Zavio D8520 is a vandal proof motorized IP dome camera that is designed to operate in extreme environments. This vandal proof motorized IP dome camera uses a 1/1.8" megapixel CMOS image sensor and a
3.6 ~ 10mm motorized varifocal lens that can be remotely adjusted from the camera's web interface. The Zavio B8520 has been discontinued. You can find the currently available Zavio IP cameras models on this page.
UPDATE: Recommended Replacement Cameras
Please note that CCTV Camera Pros highly recommends
Viewtron IP cameras and Viewtron AI cameras (also network IP format) as a replacement for Zavio cameras.
Viewtron Remote Viewing Apps & Software Included
Viewtron IP cameras include mobile apps for iPhone and Android. Desktop software for Mac and Windows is also included for free. You can view your security cameras live and playback recorded video on your DVR from all of these platforms - remotely over the Internet. There are no monthly fees. Viewtron IP cameras work great with
Viewtron IP camera NVRs. Viewtron NVRs also work with Zavio cameras.
More about the Zavio D8520
The Zavio D8520 records in a video resolution of
2560 x 1920 at 30 frames per second and 1920 x 1080 at 60 frames per second. It uses the latest H.265 video compression, which uses approximately 50% less bandwidth and storage than H.264.
The IP66 / IK10 rated outdoor housing ensures that the vital components of the camera are fully protected from harsh weather conditions, dust, humidity and direct impact from an object. In addition to harsh weather protection, the outdoor housing can withstand temperatures ranging from -58°F to 140°F. The housing features a heater / blower assembly to maintain ideal internal operating temperatures. The heater and blower automatically turn on when temperatures get too hot or too cold (Please note that when using the heater / blower along with the infrared illuminators the camera must be powered by either 12V-DC or POE 802.3AT. When using POE 802.3AF, the camera can only use the infrared or heater / blower assembly, not both simultaneously.). The POE 802.3AT Injector we recommend is the POE-AT1.
For environments with high contrast lighting conditions, the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) capability of the D8520 ensures that no part of the image is too dark or too bright to capture. The WDR Enhancement feature produces highly detailed images by combining the darkest part of the image with the bightest part. The Corridor Mode feature is ideal for hallways and corridors, it works by making the vertical angle of view wider than the horizontal angle of view to better capture long narrow areas.
The built-in infrared LEDs have an effective illumination range of up to 20 meters / 60 feet and provide visibility in dark environments. The infrared LEDs on this camera use Adaptive IR Pro technology, which allows the LEDs to adjust their intensity to prevent image whiteout. It also allows the LEDs to adjust their angle to perfectly match the focus of the lens. Without the use of the infrared LEDs, the D8520 has a Color Lux rating of 0.05 and a Black & White Lux rating of 0.001. A Removable IR Cut Filter blocks any unusable infrared lighting and only allows the visible light to pass through, further enhancing the image quality.
A few more features of the D8520 include 2x alarm input & 2x alarm output, built-in
Micro SD / SDXC Card Slot and two way audio support (for use with external audio devices).
Like all Zavio IP Cameras, the D8520
includes 64 channel recording software to give the user the features of a network video recorder.
