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 provides
the excellent ability of anti-overexposure and noise reduction to adjust the IR lighting intensity instantly
based on environmental lighting change.
As VIVOTEK’s consistence of image quality, both cameras 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 difcult due to the image detail. Thus, the camera is also designed with VIVOTEK’s Smart Focus
System to make installation and adjustment easier by remote focus and zoom adjustment.
The IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and high pressure
water jets from any direction while IK10-rated housing provide the protection against the vandal act
and impact. Additionally, the wide temperature range further enhances the camera’s performance and
reliability in extremely cold and warm 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 18 for
details.
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 64 for details.
For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:
DeviceIP Address: internal
port
IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the
router)
Public IP of router122.146.57.120
LAN IP of router192.168.2.1

VIVOTEK
Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured 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.
FromForward to
122.146.57.120:8000192.168.2.10:80
122.146.57.120:8001192.168.2.11:80
......
When properly congured, 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 conguration page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your
router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network.
Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with
the conguration.
For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),
please refer to Conguration > 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 64 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 65 for details.
