Read Before Use
VIVOTEK’s IB8382 is a series of economic professional outdoor bullet network cameras in
VIVTOTEK’s 5MP Lite series which offer up to 15 fps at 5-Megapixel or 30 fps at 1080p resolution
at a competitive price. Equipped with a new high resolution image sensor, different from other 5MP
cameras, the IB8382 series provides sharper image quality and ner detail at a cost-effective price.
And with powerful 3D Noise Reduction technology and Smart Stream technology the IB8382 series
can also optimize resolution for a desired object or area to maximize efciency of bandwidth usage.
VIVOTEK’s IB836B-H is a series of stylish, bullet-style network cameras designed for diverse
outdoor applications and offering a complete range of options. Equipped with a 2MP Full HD sensor
enabling viewing resolution of 1920x1080 at a smooth 30 fps, the IB836B-H series is an all-in-one
outdoor camera capable of capturing high quality and high resolution video up to 2 Megapixel with
WDR and SNV technology, no matter whether in high contrast or in low light environments.
To create the perfect focus required to reap the benets of higher resolutions, VIVOTEK’s IB8382
series provides the options of both xed focus, used for simple operation without electrical power,
and remote focus with built-in stepping motors and P-iris for precise adjustment remotely.
To provide higher resolution in outdoor and harsh environments, this series is also armed with
IP66-rated housing to help the camera body withstand rain, dust and high pressure water jets from
any direction, while its IK10-rated housing provides protection against acts of vandalism or other
impacts. Additionally, a wide operating temperature range further improves the IB8382-EF3 and
IB8382-ET’s performance and reliability in extremely cold or warm weather, even when using PoE.
With the highly exible VADP (VIVOTEK Application Development Platform), users can extend the
features of this series by adding third-party applications for the IB8382-F3, IB8382-EF3, IB8382-T,
and IB8382-ET. Thus the IB8382 series is not only equipped with multiple focusing methods and
wide temperature range options, is but ideal for a wide variety of applications.
Finally, a wide operating temperature range further enhances the IB836B-H’s performance
and reliability in extremely cold or hot weather, even when using PoE. When choosing
VIVOTEK IB836B-H series, customers will be offered four options: the IB836B-HF3,
IB836B-EHF3, IB836B-HT, and IB836B-EHT. Different options can be chosen based on
the requirements of your application, such as focusing method or operating environment
temperature.

Each camera consumes up to 14.5W power. Up to 2 R model cameras and 1 non-repeater
camera can be cascaded in a conguration with a cabling distance of up to 300 meters.
The precondition is the use of the AE-FED-0500-120 PoE switch, which can deliver more
than 50W of power per port (exceeding the 802.3at specications).
Please use quality cables when cabling over an extended distance. Power loss due to

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),

to search the network. If the camera has been congured with 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.

card, re-start the IW2 utility.
