VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK SD8363E is part of the SUPREME series product line offering 1080p Full HD
resolution with superb image quality. Adopting a 20x optical zoom lens, the SD8363E is able
to capture details at top-notch quality. The IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing protects the
camera body against rain, dust, and corrosion within a wide temperature range of between
-40°C to 55°C. This feature ensures operation under extreme weather conditions and hazardous
environments. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open indoor/outdoor spaces such as
airports, highways and parking lots where high-level reliability and precision are always required.
The SD8363E supports high-performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology
and offers extra smooth video quality with resolution up to 30 fps @ 1080p. Boasting WDR Pro
technology, the SD8363E can also cope with challenging lighting conditions and generate image
quality close to the capabilities of the human eye. With a sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, the
camera provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 220-degree tilt.
Users can also easily control the lens position via a mouse or a joystick to track the object of
interest and set up to 256 preset positions for patrolling. With the built-in auto tracking feature,
the SD8363E provides instantaneous reaction to suspicious moving objects in wide area locations
before operators are aware of activity.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SD8363E features a removable IR-cut lter,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. With audio detection, by recognizing increases
or decreases in sound volume, an additional layer of intrusion detection is ensured. Zoom
enhancement provides 60x optical zoom at 640x360 resolution by which VGA-level bandwidth
is used to obtain image details as high as 1080p resolution. With other advanced features such
as SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, 802.3at compliant PoE Plus and 60 fps high quality video, the
SD8363E is the best choice for the most demanding outdoor surveillance applications.

IMPORTANT:
If your camera comes without the dehumidier,
you should examine whether the color of the
silica gel inside the chassis has turned red. If so,
you should replace the desiccant bag.
To replace the desiccant bags:
1. Remove the dome cover by loosening 4 T25
anti-tamper screws.
2. Replace the desiccant bags by attaching them
rmly to the inside of the chassis.
3. Re-install the dome cover.
Note that it takes approximately 2 days
to suppress the moisture level to 30% or
lower, either using the desiccant bags or the
dehumidier. Before that, condensation may still
be observed from on the dome cover.

1. Mounting with Ethernet Connection Only
1. The camera weighs 3.66kg. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to the
camera. Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
2. Drill 4 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer in
threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on them so that
the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole for routing cables.
3. Secure the wall mount bracket to wall using 4 sets of captive washers and nuts.
4. Align the camera with the wall mount bracket.
5. Tighten 3 included screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure all parts have been
securely tightened.

Network Deployment
Setting up the Network Camera over the Internet
There are several ways to set up the Network Camera over the Internet. The rst way is to set
up the Network Camera behind a router. The second way is to utilize a static IP. The third way is
to use PPPoE.
Internet connection via a router
Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow
the steps below.
1. Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below.
Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 21 for
details.
IP address : 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default router : 192.168.0.1
IP address : 192.168.0.2

LAN (Local Area Network)
Router IP address : 192.168.0.1
2. In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is
192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.
■ Secondary HTTP port: 8080
■ RTSP port: 554
■ RTP port for audio: 5558
■ RTCP port for audio: 5559
■ RTP port for video: 5556
■ RTCP port for video: 5557
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly
on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer to your
router’s user’s manual.
3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the
18 - User's Manual
VIVOTEK
Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 66 for details.
For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:
Device IP Address: internal
port
IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the
router)
Public IP of router 122.146.57.120
LAN IP of router 192.168.2.1
Camera 1 192.168.2.10:80 122.146.57.120:8000
Camera 2 192.168.2.11:80 122.146.57.120:8001
... ... ...
Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming
into a precongured port number to a network camera on the private network, and allow data
from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path.
From Forward to
122.146.57.120:8000 192.168.2.10:80
122.146.57.120:8001 192.168.2.11:80
... ...
When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP request
as follows: http://122.146.57.120:8000
If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router
to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult
your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.
For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),
please refer to Conguration > Network Settings. VIVOTEK also provides the automatic port
forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must
support the UPnP port forwarding feature.

Internet connection with static IP
Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera.
Please refer to LAN on page 66 for details.
Internet connection via PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)
Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line. Please refer to
PPPoE on page 67 for details.
General Connection
1. Connect the Network Camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e) to a PoE Plus switch. A 30W PoE
output port alone can not drive the onboard heater, and hence if using the PoE switch alone,
the application does not apply in low-temperature condition. 30W PoE plus can only drive the
camera when it is working at a temperature higher than -5ºC.
2. Connect the power wires to an AC 24V power adaptor (user-supplied). The AC 24V adapter
can drive the camera and the onboard heater.
You can connect both power sources for redundancy in power supply.
IEEE 802.3at PoE Switch (30W output)

and / or

When using a non-PoE switch
Use a High Power PoE power injector (separately purchased) capable of 60W output to connect
between the Network Camera and a non-PoE switch. Sufcient power is required for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated.
