Overview

VIVOTEK FD7160 is a compact, 2-megapixel network camera designed for tough vehicular conditions, especially in public transportation applications such as buses, trains, etc� Its IP66-rated, vandal-proof metal housing effectively provides robust protection from being damaged by water and dust as well as defacement� The combination of the high resolution imaging and protective housing endows the FD7160

with rst-rate identication capabilities and the rugged reliability required by mobile surveillance.

By utilizing high denition 1600x1200 resolution, the FD7160 can deliver extremely clear and detailed

images, achieving accurate identification of objects or people with ease� Its multiple-stream function

allows each video stream to be delivered in a different resolution, frame rate, and image quality for individual quality or bandwidth demands, providing a higher level of flexibility for dealing with camera

images on different platforms�

By employing tamper detection, the FD7160 is truly a robust and intelligent camera that keeps security

staff notied once it suffers video loss from being blocked or spray-painted. The FD7160 also utilizes

PoE (Power-over-Ethernet), allowing it to be operated and powered from a single Ethernet cable, giving greater ease of installation� In order to facilitate on-board storage and data portability, the FD7160 is also complete with a MicroSD/SDHC card slot for local recording�

The FD7160 also offers a broad spectrum of advanced features, including dual codec, QoS for optimized bandwidth efficiency, IPv6 for next generation networks, temperature alarm trigger, HTTPS encrypted data transmission, 802�1X authentication for secure network protection, and 32-CH ST7501 central management software�

Read Before Use

The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country� The Network Camera is not

only a high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a exible surveillance system. It is

the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal and complies with all privacy laws before installing this unit for its intended use�

It is important to rst verify that all contents received are complete according to the Package Contents

listed below� Take note of the warnings in the Quick Installation Guide before the Network Camera is installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the Installation chapter to avoid damage due to faulty assembly and installation� This also ensures the product is used properly as intended�

The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for those who have basic networking knowledge� It is designed for various applications including video sharing, general security/ surveillance, etc� The Configuration chapter suggests ways to best utilize the Network Camera and ensure proper operations� For more creative and professional developers, the URL Commands of the Network Camera section serves as a helpful reference to customizing existing homepages or integrating with the current web server�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

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

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate the 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, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 49�

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video

quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize

this protocol to allow streaming data through�
