Overview

The IB9389 series is a camera line to come embedded with the Smart Motion Detection feature (-H, -EH, -HT, -EHT models).* The Smart Motion detection, with Human detection and tunable time filter, can eliminate the defects of traditional motion detection and facilitate the configuration at a surveillance site.

To learn more about this feature, download its User Guide in: http://download.vivotek.com/downloadfile/solutions/vadp/smart-motion-detection-manual_ en.pdf

A key feature in the Smart Motion detection is the Human detection. Based on a human silhouette database and the rapid responses via an artificial neural network technology, the Smart engine instantly recognizes human appearances in a video surveillance area. Since humans are the objects of interest in the majority of video surceillance, the Human detection feature enables users to quickly configure his installation.

With Human detection, light changes or swaying vegetation, vehicles passing by, or animal activities in the scene are not taken as event triggers. Only human activities will trigger an event. This helps reduce false alarms and the time and efforts for a camera configuration.

The IB9389 series is an outdoor bullet network camera capable of 2560 x 1920 resolution at 30 fps. With the most updated VIVOTEK SNV and WDR Pro technology, the IB9389 series is capable of capturing the highest quality images in both low light and high contrast environments.

The IB9389 series also offers the best in night time surveillance technology. By adopting Smart IR II technology from VIVOTEK speed domes, the IB9389 IR illuminators now align with the remote focus lens’ focus angle to provide the best IR image quality at any lens setting. This feature optimizes IR intensity, reduces IR hotspots, and increases the IR effective range up to 30 meters.

* The IB9389-HM and -EHM models come with standard motion detection feature.

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 flexible 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.

IMPORTANT:

If you plan to use the Human Detection feature, make sure you measure the height of your camera. The height information is important for the accuracy of the video analytics results.

Some of the other perspective information are automatically collected by the onboard

S-sensor. The height information enables the horizontal and vertical keystone corrections of the field of view. Measure the distance between camera lens and the ground.

Ready to Use

1.A browser session to the Network Camera should appear as shown below.

2.You should be able to see live video from your camera. You may also install the

32-channel recording software from the software CD in a deployment consisting of multiple cameras. For its installation details, please refer to its related documents.

IMPORTANT:

The "E" models, e.g., IB9389-EH, -EM, and -EHT, are able to operate in low temperature environments. However, when starting these cameras in a very low termperature condition, e.g., -40ºC, the embedded heater may take half an hour to warm up the camera. When the temperature within the canister reaches -10ºC, the camera automatically starts.

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 20 for details.

Internet

WAN (Wide Area Network )

Router IP address : from ISP

LAN (Local Area Network)

Router IP address : 192.168.0.1

IP address : 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1

Cable or DSL Modem

IP address : 192.168.0.2

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 83 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 82 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 83 for details.

Configure the router, virtual server or firewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a preconfigured 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.

122.146.57.120:8000

192.168.2.10:80

122.146.57.120:8001

192.168.2.11:80

...

...

When properly configured, 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 configuration page, please open the ports accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router to configure access through the router to the camera within your local network.

Please consult your network administrator for router configuration if you have troubles with the configuration.

For more information with network configuration options (such as that of streaming ports), please refer to Configuration > 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.
