Overview
VIVOTEK’s IB9371-HTV and IB9371-EHT are two brand-new professional H.265 high-efciency
outdoor dome network cameras, offering 30 fps @ 3-Megapixel with outstanding image quality.
Employing H.265 technology enables the cameras to provide higher and more efficient 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 efciency of bandwidth usage. Combining both H.265 and Smart Stream II, the IB9371-
HTV and IB9371-EHT can reduce both bandwidth and storage consumption up to 80% while
maintaining image quality of the high standard.
As professional day/night cameras, the IB9371-HTV and IB9371-EHT are also equipped with WDR
Pro and SNV, empowering users to enjoy superb image-detail in any lighting condition. Additionally,
IP66-rated housing ensures the ability of these advanced cameras to withstand rain and dust, thus
guaranteeing smooth operation even under a multitude of harsh weather conditions. The cameras’
IK10-rated housing can also provide protection against acts of vandalism and other impacts.
Finally, a wide operating temperature range further enhances the performance and reliability of the
IB9371-EHT in both extremely cold and warm weather, even while using PoE.
VIVOTEK’s IB9381-HT and IB9381-EHT are two brand-new professional H.265 high-efficiency
outdoor bullet network cameras, offering 30 fps @ 5-Megapixel or 60 fps @ 1080p with outstanding
image quality. By employing H.265 technology, these cameras are able to provide higher and
more efficient image compression rates than previous H.264 systems. In addition, VIVOTEK’s
sophisticated Smart Stream II technology enables the cameras to optimize quality for desired
regions and therefore to maximize efciency of bandwidth usage. Combining both H.265 and Smart
Stream II, the IB9381-HT and IB9381-EHT can reduce bandwidth and storage consumption by up
to 80%* while retaining exceptional 5-Megapixel image quality.
As professional day/night cameras, the IB9381-HT and IB9381-EHT are also equipped with WDR
Pro and SNV, empowering users to enjoy superb image-detail in all lighting conditions. Additionally,
robust IP66-rated housing ensures the ability of these advanced cameras to withstand rain and
dust, thus guaranteeing smooth operation no matter how harsh the weather conditions. The
cameras’ IK10-rated metal housing will also provide protection against acts of vandalism and other
physical impacts. Finally, a wide operating temperature range further enhances the performance
and reliability of the IB9381-EHT in both extremely cold and extremely warm weather, even while
using PoE. * Depending on scenes.

Read Before Use
The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The Network Camera
is not only a high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a exible surveillance
system. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before
installing this unit for its intended use.
It is important to first verify that all contents received are complete according to the Package
Contents listed below. Take note of the warnings in the Quick Installation Guide before the Network
Camera is installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the Installation chapter to
avoid damage due to faulty assembly and installation. This also ensures the product is used
properly as intended.
The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for those who
have basic networking knowledge. It is designed for various applications including video sharing,
general security/surveillance, etc. The Configuration chapter suggests ways to best utilize the
Network Camera and ensure proper operations. For creative and professional developers, the URL
Commands of the Network Camera section serves as a helpful reference to customizing existing
homepages or integrating with the current web server.

Repeater Model (
IB9381-HRT, IB9371-HRT
) Cascade Connections
IMPORTANT:
Many copper coated aluminum (CCA) and other non-standard conductors cabling products
are masqueraded as CAT5E or CAT6 cables. Please avoid using these CCA products
especially when cascading PoE cameras. It is a must to use Ethernet cables compliant
with the 3P/ETL standard.
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
resistance can occur with low-quality cables.

■ 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 76 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 75 for details.

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.

When properly congured, 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 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

Tips:
1. The onscreen Java control can malfunction under the following situations: A PC connects 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 conguration menus or UI items, try disable the Compatibility View on IE8 or IE9.
You may also press the F12 key to open the developer tools utility, and then change the

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 congured 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.
