Videology 801 PoE 8MP IP Camera

Videology 801 PoE IP Camera

ONVIF compliant 4K imaging

As embedded systems demand higher resolution, improved low-light performance, and seamless network integration, OEMs are often forced to choose between costly machine-vision cameras and low-cost IP modules that introduce long-term risk. The Videology 801 IP Camera addresses this challenge directly. Designed specifically for OEM integration, the 801-IP-678 is a board-level 4K (8 MP) IP camera that combines industrial-grade reliability, and true plug-and-play IP streaming in a compact 38 mm × 38 mm form factor. Now available with an optional PoE board, the 801-IP-678 delivers both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation for OEMs and system integrators. 

True 4K Performance in a Compact Module

Videology 4K IP Board Camera_frontAt the core of the 801-IP-678 is the Sony STARVIS 2™ IMX678 sensor, delivering 3840 × 2160 resolution at up to 30 fps. The large 1/1.8" optical format and 2.0 µm pixels provide excellent sensitivity and image clarity, even when digitally zooming into regions of interest using Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom (dPTZ). This level of resolution enables system designers to cover larger areas with a single camera while still extracting fine details, reducing overall system complexity.

Built for Low-Light and Near-Infrared Imaging

Low-light performance is a defining requirement for many industrial, medical, and aerospace applications. The STARVIS 2 sensor provides 0.05 lux color sensitivity and a strong near-infrared (NIR) response (780–1000 nm), enabling usable color imaging in near-darkness and reliable performance under NIR illumination. This makes the 801-IP-678 particularly effective in environments such as:

• Dim industrial environments
• Medical and diagnostic systems
• Aircraft cabins and cargo holds
• Nighttime or low-illumination surveillance

Plug-and-Play IP Streaming with System Level Flexibility

Unlike traditional machine-vision cameras that require a host PC, the 801-IP-678 is a standalone IP camera with an embedded 64-bit quad-core RISC-V processor running embedded Linux. It supports:

• ONVIF Profile S for interoperability with standard VMS and NVR platforms
• Up to three simultaneous RTSP video streams
• H.264 / MJPEG compression
• Typical end-to-end latency below 300 ms

Integration Ready Board-Level Design

Videology 4K IP Board Camera_sideThe 801-IP-678 is purpose-built as a component, not a closed black-box camera. Key features include:

• Board-level form factor: 38 mm × 38 mm, just 9.5 g
• Low power consumption: 2.7 W typical at 12 VDC
• 4× GPIO for triggers and system interaction
• Optional microSD card support for local storage
• M12 lens mount options and accessory ecosystem
• Optional PoE board provides power and data through a single Ethernet cable 

Embedded systems engineers can simply connect the camera to a DHCP-enabled network and begin streaming, or dive deeper into integration, configuration, and system-level control using Videology’s documented HTTPS API (see Section 8: HTTPS API in the 801 IP Camera User Guide).

PoE Board Simplifies Deployment

To further simplify system integration, the 801-IP-678 is now available with an optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) board. By delivering power and data over a single Ethernet cable, the PoE option reduces wiring complexity, streamlines installation, and minimizes cable management, making it ideal for industrial and embedded OEM applications. Designed specifically for the 801-IP-678 camera family, the compact PoE board is available with RJ45 or PicoBlade connectivity options to accommodate different system architectures. Built for demanding environments, it supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for applications such as transportation, industrial automation, smart cities, and security systems.

The Value of ONVIF Compliance

ONVIF Profile S compliance enables the Videology 801-IP-678 to integrate seamlessly into established IP video ecosystems. Standardized discovery, configuration, and streaming allow the camera to connect directly to widely used VMS and NVR platforms without custom drivers or proprietary middleware, accelerating evaluation, proof-of-concept, and deployment using familiar infrastructure. For embedded platforms with long service lifecycles, ONVIF IP Cameras reduce risk by supporting open, vendor-neutral architectures that remain compatible as software stacks and analytics evolve. Core IP video functions are handled through standardized interfaces. Videology’s documented HTTPS API enables deeper system-level control when required. The result is faster time to market, reduced integration risk, and long-term compatibility across evolving IP video environments.
