Overview

VIVOTEK’s FD8135H network camera features an HD WDR CMOS sensor to cope with challenging lighting conditions� The WDR feature allows the camera to capture both the dark and bright parts of an image and combines the differences to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene, enabling it to provide video quality close to the capabilities of the human eye� This function enables the FD8135H to be widely applicable in high contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATMs, loading areas, and much more� The P-iris lens controls the iris with extreme precision; with its built-in stepper motor, it maintains the
iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior image clarity and depth of eld
as well as image quality�
Incorporating an IR-cut filter that can be removed automatically at night and built-in IR illuminators with coverage of up to 20 meters, the FD8135H is an outstanding 24-hour surveillance solution� Together with a PIR sensor for thermal detection, 802�3af compliant PoE, tamper detection, MicroSD/SDHC card for on-board storage, the FD8135H is indisputably the top choice for reliable and performance surveillance�

This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer� When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings�
H.264 / MPEG-4 Media Options
H.264/MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both� This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H�264 or MPEG-4�
H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options
H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H�264 or 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 trafc 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, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 63�
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 the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for streaming under some network environments� Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through�

Local Streaming Buffer Time
Due to the unsteady bandwidth ow, the live streaming may lag and not be very smoothly. If you enable
this option, the live streaming will be stored on the camera’s buffer area for a few seconds before playing on the live viewing window� This will help you see the streaming more smoothly� If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds�
