The VT-SA8BZ16 is a 16 channel security camera system that includes (16) 8mp / 4K bullet IP cameras with motorized zoom, (1) 16ch IP camera NVR, and (16) 100ft CAT5E network cables. AI software is built into the IP cameras and NVR that are included with this system. The Viewtron network video recorder has 16ch PoE (power over Ethernet) built-in which makes this system extremely simple to install. Simply connect each camera to the back of the recorder using the CAT5 cable that is included.
The
IP-A8BZ IP security cameras that are included support 8 megapixel / 4K video resolution and have built-in AI (artificial intelligence) functions and a 2.8-12mm motorized vari-focal lens The AI object detection supports vehicle detection, person detection, and human face recognition / face detection. AI object detection is much more reliable than standard motion detection used by traditional CCTV camera systems.

Viewtron NVRs have built-in PoE ports that allow you to directly plug PoE IP cameras directly into the Ethernet ports. The NVR provides power to the cameras and the cameras will automatically connect to the NVR software. This makes installation extremely easy.
Here is some additional information about the ports on the back of the NVR (starting from left to right).
- To the right of the PoE ports, there is a LAN port (labeled in purple). If you plan on connecting your NVR to a network and / or the Internet, you will use this port to connect to your router or switch.
- Dual Ethernet ports allow you to have your IP cameras on a separate network.
- Viewtron NVRs have HDMI and VGA monitor outputs. Both can be used at the same time for two monitors. The displays are mirrored (must be the same). The USB port can be used for the mouse that is included or for a USB drive for video backup / export.
- There is one audio input port for an audio surveillance microphone. There is one audio output to connect external speakers.
- Burglar alarm sensors can be integrated into these NVRs using the alarm input / alarm output ports. Please note that the latest generation 16 channel NVR has 16 alarm input ports
- The power cord that is included with the NVR plugs into this port labeled red.

Camera Dimensions
The above image shows the dimensions of the LPR-IP7 in millimeters. For reference 100.3mm = 4 inches. 88.9mm = 3.5 inches. 279.5mm = 11 inches.
The
VT-J302 security camera junction box is an optional installation mount for the IP-A8BZ. There is a bottom and side cable inlet and the cable leads from your camera can neatly be concealed inside this weatherproof enclosure. When the bottom inlet is used, the inlet plug can be moved to the size inlet. This junction box can be used for vertical or horizontal installations.
Here is the IP-A8BZ installed on a pole using the optional VT-J302 junction box. CCTV Camera Pros recommends using the junction box for all outdoor installations.
In this video, the mobile app connects to the
Viewtron IP camera NVR at CCTV Camera Pros office. The CCTV Camera Pros' NVR is connected to 6
Viewtron IP cameras, including 4K AI security cameras, a motorized varifocal / zoom IP camera, and an LPR / ANPR camera (license plate recognition / automatic number plate recognition). You can watch additional video demos of the Viewtron security camera app here.
Watch this video surveillance footage to see some daytime and IR night vision mode recordings. To record these videos, the IP-A8BZ was connected to a
Viewtron IP camera NVR with CAT6 network cable. You can also use CAT5E cable.
These surveillance snapshot were captured using the IP-A8BZ that is installed on the front of Mikes's house to monitor his driveway. Please click on the images to see the full sized 4K UHD photos.
The lens is set to the widest angle of view (2.8mm settings) in order to provide video surveillance coverage for Mike's 3 car driveway and entire front yard.
This image was captured at night with the IP camera's IR night vision engaged.
Watch this video to see the motorized zoom lens of the IP-A8BZ controlled using a Viewtron NVR. The video also demonstrates controlling the motorized vari-focal lens via the Viewtron mobile app for iPhone. Please note that the Android app works exactly the same and the iPhone all. You can also adjust the lens angle from the Mac and Windows software that is included.

Pole Installation
CCTV Camera Pros installed an IP-A8BZ on this pole behind our warehouse to get an ultra wide overview of the back of our commercial property. We use this as an overview for our
LPR camera system. With the motorized varifocal lens set at 2.8mm, this IP camera provides a very wide angle of view.
Here is a close-up of the pole installation. The IP-A8BZ is the camera on the left. You can see that we used the optional
outdoor junction box for this installation, which we highly recommend for all outdoor installations.
Here is a screenshot captured from the IP-A8BZ that is installed on the metal pole across the street from our office. The security camera's motorized zoom lens is set to the widest angle - 2.8mm. You can see the 115 degree field of view that it captures. We documented the distances of some of the objects that are in the camera's view to provide some perspective on how large of an area this 4K IP camera can cover. Please click on the above image to see the 4K resolution photo.
Motorized Zoom Controls
Here is a screenshot captured with the motorized zoom lens (also known as motorized varifocal lens) controls enabled in on the Viewtron NVR that this camera is connected to. The PTZ controls are used to zoom the camera lens in and out. The is the 12mm lens setting, which is the most narrow and zoomed in lens setting. The blue car is parked 100 feet away from where the camera is mounted.
The NVR and IP cameras included with this system have built-in AI software for advanced video analytics. You can see the latest
video demos Viewtron AI cameras here. The following Intelligent Video Analytics are supported by this system.
- Perimeter Protection - Line crossing, region entrance/exiting/intrusion (human/motor vehicle/ non-motor vehicle classification)
- Target Counting - Line crossing human/motor vehicle/non-motor vehicle counting
- Exception Detection - Scene change, video blur and video color cast detection
- Face Detection - Face detection and face capture
The vehicle detection function of Viewtron AI cameras is much more reliable than video motion technique used by a non-AI camera. Traditional video motion detection produces a lot of false alerts. A well trained AI camera can detect cars and motorcycles in real time and with 99% accuracy. Object detection events can trigger alarms such as video recording, mobile app push notifications, DVR buzzer, photo snapshots, and email alerts.
The person detection function of Viewtron AI cameras works the same as vehicle / car detection. An intrusion zone is mapped out on the DVR interface. The only difference is that human detection is selected in the setup, instead of vehicles. The red rectangle is the intrusion zone in in the above screenshot. You can see when Mike crosses over the intrusion zone, he is detected as a human and an alarm event is triggered.
Watch this video to learn how to setup a face recognition capabilities of this security camera system. This video demonstrated face recognition and face detection. We also demonstrate how to add faces to the face database on the NVR using video surveillance footage recorded on the NVR. You can also add faces to the database using the mobile app. You can watch additional
face recognition camera videos here. Please also before to check out these installation instructions for face recognition cameras.
The above diagram shows how a POS system /cash register can be installed with a Viewtron NVR and IP camera. This allows point of sale text overlay over one or more security cameras on your system. The point of sale / cash register is connected to the same network as the network video recorder. This is done by connecting both devices to the same network switch or router using CAT5 or CAT6 network cable. The IP camera can also be connected to the switch or it can be connected directly to the Viewtron NVR (because the NVR has built-in PoE ports).
For POS systems that do not have network capability, CCTV Camera Pros supplies this
RS-232 to Ethernet converter to capture cash register data from the printer port.
You can learn more about
CCTV POS text integration with Viewtron NVRs and DVRs here.
