Verdict
Pelco EXF1230-4N captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Vivotek TB9301-E reaches further (250 m vs 100 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Pelco EXF1230-4N has stronger IR illumination (80 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Pelco EXF1230-4N ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pelco EXF1230-4N better than Vivotek TB9301-E?
Pelco EXF1230-4N captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.1 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Vivotek TB9301-E reaches further (250 m vs 100 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. Pelco EXF1230-4N has stronger IR illumination (80 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. Pelco EXF1230-4N ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into CCTVplanner and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.
What is the field of view of Pelco EXF1230-4N vs Vivotek TB9301-E?
Pelco EXF1230-4N has a 60° horizontal FOV at 4.3-129mm. Vivotek TB9301-E has a 14° horizontal FOV at 35mm. Pelco covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.
Which camera has stronger IR illumination?
Pelco EXF1230-4N reaches 80 m of IR illumination versus no IR for Vivotek TB9301-E. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.
Can I plan a project mixing Pelco and Vivotek cameras?
Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Pelco and Vivotek cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
