Overview
VIVOTEK’s IP8335H network bullet camera features an HD WDR CMOS sensor for use in
challenging lighting conditions. The resulting WDR Pro feature enables the camera to capture
both the dark and bright parts of an image with double shutters, enabling two frames to be
combined to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene, providing
video quality close to the capabilities of the human eye. The P-iris lens controls the iris with
extreme precision with its built-in stepper motor, maintaining the opening at an optimal level at
all times, resulting in superior image clarity and depth of eld as well as image quality. As such,
the IP8335H is suitable for high contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots,
ATMs, loading areas, and much more.
The day and night functionality and the IP67-rated weatherproof housing of the IP8335H allows
users to easily build a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories.
Incorporating an IR-cut filter that can be removed automatically at night and built-in IR
illuminators with coverage for up to 20 meters, the IP8335H is an outstanding choice for a 24hour surveillance solution.

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.
H.264 / MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264 or
MPEG-4.
H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with
H.264 or 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 trafc 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 60.
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 using the UDP
protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for
streaming under some network environments. Users behind a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
camera’s streaming data to pass through.

MP4 Saving Options
Users can record live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on the main
page. Here, you can specify the storage destination and le name.
Folder: Specify a storage destination for the recorded video les.
File name prex: Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the video le name.
Add date and time sufx to the le name: Select this option to append the date and time to the end of the
le name.
Local Streaming Buffer Time
Due to unsteady bandwidth flow, live streaming may lag and not be very smoothly. If you enable this
option, the live streaming will be stored on the camera’s buffer area for a few seconds before being
played on the live viewing window. This helps produce a smooth live streaming. If you enter a value of
3000 milliseconds, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.

Conguration
Click Configuration on the main page to enter the camera setting pages. Note that only
Administrators can access the conguration page.
VIVOTEK offers an easy-to-use user interface that helps you set up your network camera with
minimal effort. To simplify the setting procedure, two types of user interfaces are available:
Advanced Mode for professional users and Basic Mode for entry-level users. Some advanced
functions (PTZ/ Event/ Recording/ Local storage) are not displayed in Basic Mode.
If you want to set up advanced functions, please click on [Advanced Mode] at the bottom of the
conguration list to switch to Advanced Mode.
In order to simplify the user interface, detailed information will be hidden unless you click on the
function item. When you click on the rst sub-item, the detailed information for the rst sub-item
will be displayed; when you click on the second sub-item, the detailed information for the second
sub-item will be displayed and that of the rst sub-item will be hidden.
The following is the interface of the Basic Mode and the Advanced Mode:
