Installation
In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and
"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant
user access to the camera.
Hardware installation
Please verify that your product package contains all the
accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.
Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable
may be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the
specs of UTP Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in
length.
Connect the power adapter jack to the Network
Camera before plugging in to the power socket. This will
reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.
Upon powering up, the LED will become lighted first and then the device will go through
booting process. The LED will be steady orange for getting IP address. After getting IP
Address, the LED will blink green every second and the red-color is always on.
The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. Operating in either network mode, the
LED will blink green-color as heartbeat to indicate alive.
User's Manual - 7

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions
To install in Ethernet
Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the Ethernet
cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to blink green-color, go to next
paragraph “Software installation”. If the Ethernet is not available, Network Camera will
switch to wireless LAN mode.
This Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one
digital output device control. The pin definition is as below.
Software installation
At the end of the hardware installation, users can use Installation Wizard program
included in the product CDROM to find the location of the Network Camera. There may be
many Network Cameras in the local network. Users can differentiate the Network

Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next
section "Initial access to the Network Camera" for necessary checks and
configurations.
Initial Access to the Network Camera
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software
installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the
network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP
address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service
provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires the
Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to
remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the
System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot
proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings following the
steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.
Add Password to prevent Unauthorized Access
The default Administrator’s password is blank and the Network Camera initially will not
ask for any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new
password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password
is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each
access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each
user can access the Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some
critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration, user
administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is
permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will
display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password
is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The

only option is to restore to the original factory default settings.
How to Use
A PC with Windows operating system can use the Internet Explorer to connect to the
Network Camera. A plug-in will be installed into the IE when it is connected for the first
time. A PC with Linux operating system can connect to the camera using a browser like
Firefox. It needs to install QuickTime first to view streaming.
Authentication
After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the Network Camera, a
dialogue window pops up to request a username and password. Upon successful
authentication, the following figure is displayed.
The foreground is the login window and the background shows the message if
authentication fails. The user may check the option box to save the password for future
convenience. This option is not available to the Administrator for obvious reason.

Client settings
There are four settings for the client side in IE. The first one is “Stream Options” for
users to determine which stream to be streaming. This product supports dual-stream.
Therefore, there are two streams to choose. The second one is “MPEG-4 Media
18 - User's Manual
Page 20
VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions
Options”. for users to determine which media to be streaming under MPEG-4 mode.
The third one is “MPEG-4 Protocol Options” which allows choices on connection
protocol between client and server. There are four protocols choices to optimize your
usage – UDP unicast, UDP multicast, TCP and HTTP.
The UDP unicast protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However,
some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
The UDP multicast protocol allows to save the bandwidth of server while serving
multiple clients at the same time.
The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video
display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that
with the UDP protocol.
The HTTP protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the user don’t need to
open specific port to streaming under some network environment.
If no special need is required, UDP unicast protocol is recommended. Generally
speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP multicast Ш UDP unicast Ш
TCP Ш HTTP. After the Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option”
will indicate the selected protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's
PC and will be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or
the user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol,
save, and return HOME to re-connect.
The fourth one is “Save Options”. User can specify the recording folder, file name
prefix and suffix here.
There is only one setting “Stream Options” for the client side in Firefox. User can
choose to view stream1 and stream2.

Administrator’s capability
Fine-tuning for Best Performance
Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best
video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors,
“Maximum frame rate”, “Constant bit rate”, and “Fix quality” for MPEG-4 mode and
“Maximum frame rate” and “Fix quality” for JPEG mode on the Audio and Video
Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance
possible.

For Viewing by Mobile Phone
Most 3GPP cell phone supports media streaming with MPEG4 video and GSM-AMR
audio. Due to the limitation of the bandwidth for 3GPP, only 176x144 video solution
will be supported for cell phone viewing. Please set related video settings first as
mentioned when viewing by mobile phone.
User's Manual - 21

For Best Real-time Video Images
To achieve good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough
to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second. If the
broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Fix bit rate” to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps, or
set “Fix quality” at the highest quality. The maximum frame rate is 30. If your network
bandwidth is more than 512Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth
and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. If the images vary dramatically in your
environment, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order
to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the
human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30
frames per second. If your network bandwidth is below 512 Kbps, set the “Fix bit rate”
according to your bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning with
the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow network, greater frame rate results in blur images.
Video quality performance will vary somewhat due to the number of users viewing on
the network; even when the parameters have initially been finely tuned. Performance
will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the network’s burst constraint.
Only Quality Images Will Do
To have the best video quality, you should set “Fix quality” at “Detailed” or “Excellent”
and adjust the “Maximum frame rate” to match your network’s bandwidth. If your
network is slow and you receive “broken” pictures, go to the TCP or HTTP protocol in
“MPEG-4 Protocol Options” and choose a more appropriate mode of transmission. The
images may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection. The delay will also increase
with added number of users.
Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images
If you have a broadband network, set “Fix quality” at ”Normal” or better, rather than
setting “Fix bit rate”. You can also fix the bandwidth according to your actual network
speed and adjust the frame rate. Start from 30 fps down for best results but not below
15 fps. If the image qualities are not improved, select a lower bandwidth setting.

There are three dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video
performance adjustment.
“Intra frame period” The interval of intra frame.
“Max frame rate” This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be combined
with the “Video quality” to optimize bandwidth utilization and video quality. Choose
“Constant bit rate” If the user wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the
video quality, choose “Fixed quality” and select the desired bandwidth. The video
quality may be poor due to the sending of maximal frame rate within the limited
bandwidth when images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to ensure detailed video
quality (quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to
send the maximal frames when images change drastically.
In JPEG mode, user can set “Max frame rate” and “Video quality” to adjust the
video performance.
Audio settings
“Use” Switch “Internal” or “Microphone” to set up the source of audio input
“Mute” To turn off audio

B. URL commands of the Network Camera
Overview
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application,
Network Camera/Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This
section specifies the external HTTP based application programming interface. The HTTP
based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control
camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter values.
The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.
Style convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets
denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing
the text string also the angle brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the
description of the name for the server, denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax
description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example,
also below.

URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box
with the referred syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as
<servername>. This is intended to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This
can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP
number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.
Special note will be marked as RED words to take care.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the
returned data in a box. All data returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the
string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as
\r\n.
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short
description and a light grey box with the example.
Example: request a single snapshot image
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
General CGI URL syntax and parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or
other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the
internal parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video
server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin
directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
