Overview

VIVOTEK FD8154 is a compact xed dome network camera with 1.3-Megapixel resolution and
the ability to output 30 frames per second in H.264 compression. It includes multiple streams with different settings and applications, such as recording or live viewing, delivering excellent image quality during both daytime and nighttime.
Equipped with SNV (Supreme Night Visibility) technology, the FD8154 offers increased sensitivity to low light and provides clear images in dark conditions. In addition, built-in IR LEDs enables the camera to provide enough illumination for clear viewing up to 20 meters, even in completely dark environments.
Users can also benefit from simple installation with the compact housing and standard PoE power input design, as well as an SD card slot for local storage use.
Additionally, the FD8154V is an outdoor-ready camera with an IP66-rated weatherproof and IK10-rated vandal-proof housing for increased camera protection. With all of these features and more, the FD8154V is an ideal solution for megapixel surveillance needs.

Client Settings

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
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.264ProtocolOptions
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 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 68.
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.
