Overview

VIVOTEK’s FD9171-HT and FD9181-HT are two brand-new professional H.265 high-
efciency outdoor dome network cameras, offering 30 fps @ 3-Megapixel with outstanding image quality. The FD9181-HT provides 30 fps @ 5-Megapixel and 60 fps @ 1080p
as an option for high frame rate. Employing H.265 technology enables the cameras to
provide higher and more efcient image compression rates than previous H.264 systems.
In addition, VIVOTEK’s sophisticated Smart Stream II enables the cameras to optimize
resolution for a desired object or area and therefore to maximize efciency of bandwidth
usage. Combining both H.265 and Smart Stream II, the FD9171-HT and FD9181-HT can reduce both bandwidth and storage consumption up to 80% while maintaining image quality of the high standard.
To meet the demands of indoor applications, these cameras feature a built-in PIR sensor to help detect any unexpected events and to provide real-time responses .

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 16 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 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 70 for details.
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 69 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 70 for details.

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.

... ...
When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP request such 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.

Tips:
1. The onscreen Java control can malfunction under the following situations: A PC con-
nects to different cameras that are using the same IP address (or the same camera running different rmware versions). Removing your browser cookies will solve this
problem.
2. If you encounter problems with displaying the conguration menus or UI items, try dis-
able the Compatibility View on IE8 or IE9.

Using VIVOTEK Recording Software

The product software CD also contains an ST7501 recording software, allowing simultaneous monitoring and video recording for multiple Network Cameras. Please install the recording software; then launch the program to add the Network Camera to the Channel list. For detailed information about how to use the recording software, please refer to the user’s manual of the software or download it from http://www.vivotek.com.
Tips:
1. If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
2. If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the IW2 utility
to search the network. If the camera has been congured with a xed IP that does not comply
with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot find the camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults. The factory default is DHCP client.
3. If you change your network parameters, e.g., added a camera via a connection to a LAN card, re-start the IW2 utility.

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.265/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.265/H.264 Protocol Options
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 78.
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.

Two way audio
Half duplex: Audio is transmitted from one direction at a time, e.g., from a PC holding a web console with the camera. Full duplex: Audio is transmitted in both directions simultaneously.
MP4 Saving Options
Users can record live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on the main
page. Here, you can specify the storage destination and le name.
Folder: Specify a storage destination on your PC for the recorded video files. The location can be changed.
File name prex: Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the video le name. A specied folder
will be automatically created on your local hard disk.
Add date and time sufx to the le name: Select this option to append the date and time to the end of the le name.

Local Streaming Buffer Time
In the case of encountering unsteady bandwidth, live streaming may lag and video streaming may not be very smoothly. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored temporarily on your PC’s cache memory for a few milli seconds before being played on the live viewing window. This will help you see the streaming more smoothly. If you enter 3,000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
