Overview

VIVOTEK IP7138/7139, equipped with a 1�3M-pixel (1280x1024) CMOS sensor, is a professional network camera offering higher resolution of video for detail remote monitoring and indoor surveillance applications� Embedded with VIVOTEK VVTK-1000 SoC, it is able to deliver dual streams with different resolutions and video qualities upon different devices simultaneously such as computers or 3G cell phones for real-time monitoring� To prevent

unexpected connection failure, it builds in a compact ash card slot for local storage; thus, the

snapshots and video clips generated by events or scheduled recording can temporarily be stored on the memory card for later retrieval� More noticeable, many advanced features for versatile applications are included: 3GPP mobile surveillance, two-way audio by SIP, digital I/O

interface, built-in 802.3af compliant PoE (IP7138); 802.11b/g WLAN (IP7139), and appropriate

lens selection with CS mount� By offering exceptional image details, it could be the best choice

for monitoring extensive areas such as airports, factories, retail stores, schools, ofces or banks.

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 rst 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 Conguration 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�

MPEG-4 Media Options

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 of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate 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 congured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP

Streaming on page 34�

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�
