VIVOTEK

Overview

VIVOTEK FD8355EHV is a professional outdoor dome network camera offering 30 fps @ 1.3-Megapixel resolution with superb image quality.

The FD8365EHV provides 30 fps @ 2-Megapixel resolution with superb image quality.

Featuring Improved Wide Dynamic Range Technology WDR Pro II, it provides the extreme visibility in the extremely dark & light environment with 4 times shutter. Combining 3D Noise Reduction Technology which enables the FD8355EHV to capture clear, polished video under low-light conditions and reduce bandwidth from sensor noise, users can identify more image details in extremely bright as well as dark environments. The FD8365EHV comes with a standard WDR Pro feature.

Besides, as a professional day/night camera, both cameras adopt a Smart IR technology which prevents overexposure and provides noise reduction to adjust IR lighting intensity instantaneously based on changes in lighting in the ambient environment.

To provide top-notch image quality, the camera also comes with a P-iris lens, which controls the iris with extreme precision with its built-in stepper motor. By using software controls, the lens maintains the

iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior sharpness and depth of eld as well as

image quality. Furthermore, for installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera

can be difcult due to the level of image detail. Thus, the camera is also designed with VIVOTEK’s Smart

Focus System to make installation and adjustment easier by using remote focus and zoom adjustment.

The camera’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and high

pressure water jets from any direction while the IK10-rated vandalproof rating provides protection against

the vandalism and impact. Additionally, the wide temperature range further enhances the camera’s

performance and reliability in extremely cold and hot weather.

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 15 for details.

IP address : 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 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.

■ HTTP port: default is 80

■ RTSP port: default is 554

■ RTP port for audio: default is 5558

■ RTCP port for audio: default is 5559

■ 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 62 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

User's Manual - 13

VIVOTEK

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured 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

... ...

When properly congured, 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 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.

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 62 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 63 for details.

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 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 71.

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.
