Overview

VIVOTEK’s CC8371-HV is a vandal-proof IR fisheye network camera offering up to 30 fps at 3-Megapixel resolution. With its unique design and inconspicuous appearance, the CC8371­HV is suitable for a wide array of environments. Featuring 180° horizontal panoramic views with
adjustable 25° tilt angle, the camera allows users amazing exibility of viewing angles and options.
The camera’s weather-proof compact size also makes it an ideal choice for indoor and outdoor scenarios such as boutiques, convenience stores, banks, schools, parking lots and residential homes. Without ligature edges, it can also be very effective in tough security installations like prisons and mental facilities.
The CC8371-HV can view up to 180 degrees, providing complete video security without losing angle coverage. Featuring WDR Pro, the camera captures both the dark and bright areas of an image and combines the differences to create a highly realistic representation of the original scene. Further, with added SNV technology, high-quality full-color surveillance video becomes possible even under low-light conditions. These combined features enable the camera to provide video quality remarkably close to the capabilities of the human eye. Further increasing the level of surveillance, a built-in microphone can record sound within a 5-meter radius.
The CC8371-HV also has built-in 180° IR illuminators up to 15 meters. So no matter day or night, light or dark, the CC8371-HV’s versatility is unmatched.

■ HTTP port: default is 80
■ RTSP port: default is 554
■ RTP port for video: default is 5556
■ RTCP port for video: default is 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 Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 74 for details.
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 setting on page 73 for details.

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP
request such as: http://122.146.57.120:8000
If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your
router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.
For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports), please refer to Conguration > 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.
