The Zavio B8220 is a bullet style outdoor IP camera that captures HD video surveillance in extremely hot and cold climates. The B8220 is classified as an extreme weather camera because of the harsh weather that it is designed for. This camera can be used for
license plate recognition using the built-in LPR mode.
Important Update! Zavio IP cameras are no longer manufactured. CCTV Camera Pros highly recommends Viewtron IP cameras and NVRs as the best replacement option available.
Viewtron IP Cameras (Zavio Replacement)
2023 Update! CCTV Camera Pros highly recommends Viewtron IP cameras for customers looking for a Zavio replacement. They cost less, perform better, and the remote camera viewing apps are the best. They are also ONVIF compliant so you can use them with our best selling Viewtron IP camera NVRs or any 3rd party NVR that is ONVIF compliant. We can help you plan your system migration from Zavio to Viewtron. You can email us at zavio@cctvcamerapros.net. We also have Viewtron AI security cameras that have advanced analytics functions such as vehicle detection, person detection, face detection, facial recognition, traffic counting, people counting, and license plate recognition (LPR).
We also have a complete line of
Viewtron IP camera NVRs available in 8ch, 16ch, 32ch, and 64ch models. Our Viewtron NVRs have AI object detection software and license plate detection software built-in. There is NO additional or recurring software licensing. They also include the best remote security camera apps and software available.
Please Note: The maximum distance for license plate recognition is 20 feet. This outdoor network camera uses a megapixel CMOS image sensor and 2.8 ~ 12mm motorized varifocal lens that can be remotely adjusted from the camera's interface. The Zavio B8220 captures HD video surveillance resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 60 frames per second. This camera is capable of using the all-new, highly efficient H.265 video compression, which uses approximately 50% less bandwidth and storage than H.264.
The IP66 rated outdoor housing ensures that the vital components of the camera are fully protected from harsh weather conditions, dust, and humidity. 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 B8220 ensures that no part of the image is too dark or bright to capture. The WDR enhancement feature works by taking the brightest and darkest parts of the image, it then combines them to produce one high quality and balanced image. 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 high powered infrared LEDs have an effective illumination range of up to 50 meters / 120 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 B8220 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 B8220 include 2x alarm input & 2x alarm output, built-in
Micro SD / SDHC Card Slot and two-way audio support (for use with external audio devices).
This high definition IP camera is compatible for live remote viewing from both Windows and Mac computers in addition to iPhone and Android mobile devices.
Like all Zavio IP Cameras, the B8220
includes 64 channel recording software to give the user the features of a network video recorder.

As of December 1, 2015, the Zavio B8220 has an LPR camera mode built into the firmware that can be accessed from the Live View > Camera Setting menu. The license plate recognition mode allows the installer to set up the B8220 to record license plates on cars at different speeds. You can see the LPR mode settings in the above screenshot. Although the above screenshot was captured using a
Zavio B8520, the interface and functionality are the same for the B8220. The B8220 and B8520 can both be used to capture license plates on moving vehicles. You can find additional LPR setup instructions for Zavio IP cameras here.
