Overview

VIVOTEK’s outdoor day/night network camera IP7142 is equipped with a wide dynamic range CMOS sensor to cope with any challenging lighting conditions. Designed for outdoor 24-hour surveillance, IP7142 features the basics of day and night and vandal-proof functions that users can easily build up a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories. With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, up to 15m, it can automatically remove the ﬁlter and turn on the IR illuminators during the nighttime to accept IR illumination for low light sensitivity. Meanwhile, the IP66-rated integrated housing shields this camera from dust and water, allowing it to be applied in harsh weather conditions of outdoor environments. IP7142 with WDR (Wide dynamic range) feature can be very helpful to cope with very challenging lighting conditions. It is capable of capturing both of the dark part and bright part and combining the differences into a scene to generate a highly realistic image as the original scene. Because it preserves as much information in the video as possible, IP7142 helps provide video quality closer to the capabilities of the human eye. Consequently, it is largely applied in highly contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATM, loading areas and much more. Incorporating numbers of advanced features including simultaneous dual streams, 3GPP mobile surveillance, 802.3af compliant PoE, two-way audio by SIP protocol, RS-485 interface for scanners or pan/tilts driver connection, and HTTPS encrypted data transmission, VIVOTEK IP7142 allows users to boost your robust IP surveillance system by reproducing clear images in proper color in extreme high-contrast environments for your indoor/outdoor security and monitoring applications.

It is composed of the following four sections: Stream Options, MPEG-4 Media Options, MPEG-4 Protocol Options and MP4 Saving Options. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to take effect.

Stream Options

The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams. For more information, please refer to Video settings on page 39.

MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst trafﬁc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be conﬁgured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP Streaming on page 34.

20 - User's Manual

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open speciﬁc port for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a ﬁrewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data to come through.

MP4 Saving Options

Users can record the live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on the main page. Here, you can specify the storage destination and ﬁle name.

■ Mode The Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards for real-time viewing: MPEG-4 and MJPEG.

42 - User's Manual

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions

If MPEG-4 is selected, it is streamed in RTSP protocol. There are four dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment.

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 352 x 240 and 720 x 480.

■ Maximum frame rate This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video quality.

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps and 30fps.

■ Intra frame period Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following duration: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4 seconds.

■ Video quality A complex scene generally produces larger ﬁle size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is ﬁxed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performances. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps and 4Mbps.

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video qualities are selectable at the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and Excellent.

JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients,

producing dynamic effects similar to movies. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. And because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the clients.

■ Frame size Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 352 x 240 and 720 x 480.

User's Manual - 43

For example:

IP7142(TCP-AV)

The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the image variation. When motions are detected by the Network Camera and are judged to exceed the defined threshold, a red bar rises. Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red. Photos or videos can be captured instantly and configured to send to the remote server (Email, FTP) by utilizing this feature as a trigger source. For more information on how to plot an event, please refer to Application on page 50.

User's Manual - 45

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions

A green bar indicates that even though motions are detected, the event will not be triggered because the image variations are still falling under the deﬁned threshold.

Percentage = 30%

NOTE

► How does motion detection work?

There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C), and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings tend to neglect it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera deﬁnes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identiﬁed as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the deﬁned threshold; therefore, the motion window will be outlined in red.

For applications that require higher security management, it is suggested to set higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values.

Application

This section explains how to conﬁgure the Network Camera to react in response to particular situations. A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to a FTP server or via e-mail as notiﬁcations.

In the illustation on the right side, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices. When an event is triggered, you can specify what kind of action will be performed. You can configure the Network Camera to send snapshots or videos to your email address or FTP site.

Event Trigger

ex. Motion detection, Periodically, Digital input, System reboot

(what to send)

ex. Snapshot, Video Clips

Media

Action

Server

Appendix

URL Commands of the Network Camera

Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/ Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section specifies the external HTTP based application programming interface. The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.

URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam. adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return:

HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box with the example.

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

General CGI URL syntax and parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Setting digital output #1 to active
