Overview

VIVOTEK’s IB8373-EH network camera features a 3-Megapixel WDR CMOS sensor to cope with challenging lighting conditions� The WDR Pro feature allows the camera to capture both the dark and bright areas of an image and combine the differences to generate a highly realistic representation of the original scene� This feature enables the camera to provide video quality very close to the capabilities of the human eye� The IB8373-EH can be deployed widely in high contrast outdoor environments such as parking areas and streets� The P-iris lens controls the iris with extreme precision; with its built-in stepper motor, it maintains the iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior image clarity and

depth of eld.

The IP67-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures smooth operation even under a multitude of harsh weather conditions� Additionally, the wide temperature range further enhances the IB8373-EH’s performance and reliability in extremely cold environments�

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 17 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 documentation�

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 69 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 settings 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 65 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�

From Forward to

122.146.57.120:8001 192.168.2.11:80

��

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�
