Overview
VIVOTEK IP7361 is a high-end 2-megapixel network bullet camera surveillance. outdoor-specic features
such as concealed wiring to prevent tampering, the IP7361 is the camera of choice for applications such as parking lots, gas stations, and building entrances�
The IP7361 boasts high-definition 2-megapixel (1600 x 1200) resolution, allowing for the delivery of
extremely detailed images and coverage 6 times larger than a VGA camera. To maximize the benet of
the 2-megapixel sensor, the IP7361 employs several innovative technologies for optimized bandwidth
efciency. The ePTZ function enables users to quickly move to a target area for close-up shots without
moving the camera physically� Users can also receive only the portions of the images they are interested in via the cropping function� Furthermore, multiple video streams can be delivered simultaneously in
different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms so as to meet
different needs or bandwidth constraints� The IP7361 also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state�
Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the IP7361 features auto-iris capability to protect the lens from damage induced by direct sunlight� To adapt to light changes throughout the day, the camera is furnished with
a removable IR-cut filter and IR illuminators for superior image quality around the clock. The IP7361
also comes with an IP67-rated housing that offers protection against rain and dust to ensure functional operation in all types of weather conditions� For easy management and protection against tempering
and vandalism, the IP7361 is also equipped with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables within the
bracket�
With other advanced features such as tamper detection, 802�3af compliant PoE, SD/SDHC card on-
board storage, and two-way audio via SIP protocol, the IP7361 is a full-edged surveillance solution for
outdoor environments�

Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer� When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings�
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 configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 51�
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.
