VIVOTEK Thermal Bullet
VIVOTEK TB9333-E Thermal Bullet Camera — Australian Stock & 5-Year Warranty
The VIVOTEK TB9333-E is a rugged outdoor bi-spectrum thermal bullet camera that fuses a 256 × 192 thermal sensor with a 4MP full-colour visible camera in a single IP66 housing. Because it detects heat rather than reflected light, it sees people, vehicles and hot-spots in total darkness, glare, smoke, dust and light fog — the moments ordinary cameras miss. On-board temperature measurement adds early-warning alarms for overheating machinery and fire, while deep-learning VCA analytics classify humans vs. vehicles to slash false alarms. Choose the wide 3.5 mm lens for area coverage or the 7 mm lens for long-range detection out to nearly a kilometre.
Why the TB9333-E
Sees in Complete Darkness
The uncooled VOx microbolometer detects thermal radiation (8–14 µm), so there's no reliance on IR light or ambient illumination. Reliable 24/7 detection through glare, shadow, smoke and light fog.
Temperature Measurement & Alarms
Measures −20 °C to 150 °C with ±2 % accuracy using point, line and area rules. Trigger threshold, temperature-difference and rate-of-rise alarms for fire prevention and equipment monitoring.
AI Human / Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning VCA — intrusion detection, line crossing, loitering and wrong-way — classifies objects as human or vehicle to filter out animals, weather and moving foliage, cutting false alerts.
Bi-Spectrum Fusion
Thermal for detection, 4MP colour for identification — streamed together so operators confirm what triggered an alarm without switching cameras. Early fire and smoking detection included.
Two Lens Options, One Product
3.5 mm delivers a wide 48° thermal field for yards, forecourts and compounds. 7 mm narrows to 24° for perimeters and long approaches — vehicle detection to ~894 m. Pick your lens from the dropdown.
Built for Australian Conditions
IP66-rated die-cast housing operates from −40 °C to +60 °C. Flexible power over PoE, 12 VDC or 24 VAC, with 2-in/2-out alarm I/O, RS-485, audio and microSD edge storage up to 256 GB.

VIVOTEK Thermal Bullet Dimension Drawing
What's the difference between the 3.5 mm and 7 mm lens?The 3.5 mm gives a wide 48° thermal view for covering open areas at shorter range. The 7 mm narrows to 24° for long-range detection down perimeters and approaches — vehicle detection reaches roughly 894 m. Both share the same 256 × 192 thermal core and 4MP colour camera.
Can it really see in complete darkness?Yes. Thermal imaging detects heat, not reflected light, so it works in 0-lux darkness with no IR illuminator — and continues to see through glare, shadow, smoke, dust and light fog where standard cameras struggle.
How accurate is the temperature measurement?It measures −20 °C to 150 °C with ±2 % accuracy and lets you set point, line and area rules with threshold, difference and rate-of-rise alarms — ideal for early fire warning and monitoring electrical panels or machinery.
Does it reduce false alarms?Yes. Deep-learning VCA classifies detected objects as human or vehicle and ignores animals, foliage and weather, so intrusion, line-crossing and loitering alerts stay meaningful.
How is it powered and what recorder do I need?Power it over a single PoE (802.3af) cable, or via 12 VDC / 24 VAC. It streams H.265 with ONVIF Profile S/G/T, so it works with VIVOTEK NVRs and most ONVIF-compatible recorders and VMS platforms.
Is it suitable for outdoor Australian sites?Absolutely. The IP66 die-cast housing is rated −40 °C to +60 °C, backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty and local Australian support and stock.
