Overview

VIVOTEK’s IP7130 fixed network camera is an economical and easy-to-use surveillance system

designed for indoor applications such as ofces, banks, and retail stores.

This camera comes with the tamper detection feature, which detects data loss from camera tampering in real-time. When the camera is blocked, redirected, or spray-painted, security staff will be alerted immediately in accordance with the camera settings. With its dual-stream feature, the IP7130 also allows two video streams to be delivered in a different resolutions, frame rates, and image

qualities for individual recording or bandwidth demands� Images can be displayed in VGA format for real-

time monitoring while displayed on a 3GPP mobile phone in lower resolution, giving users a higher level of exibility for dealing with camera images on different platforms. The integrated 802.3af compliant PoE function reduces cabling clutter, making IP7130 a cost-effective surveillance system.

With other advanced features such as two-way audio via SIP protocol, digital I/O, HTTPS encryption, and the included 32-CH central management software, IP7130 is the camera of choice for customers

requiring value in their investment�

Read Before Use

Select to stream video or audio data or both� This is enabled only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes for MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate the 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 41�

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 for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to

open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize

this protocol to allow streaming data through�
