VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK MD8531H is a compact, 1.2-megapixel network camera geared toward transportation
applications such as buses, trains, and other vehicles. With full EN50155 compliance & IP66-rated
design, the camera can withstand shock, vibration, humidity, dust, and temperature fluctuations,
maintaining stable and reliable video during vehicle movement. Furthermore, the vandal-proof metal
housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism. As such, the combination of high
resolution imaging and protective housing endows the MD8531H with the rugged reliability required to
maximize passenger safety and optimize mobile surveillance.
With the tamper detection feature, the MD8531H becomes a truly robust and intelligent camera that
keeps security staff notied once it suffers video loss from being blocked or spray-painted. PoE (Power-
over-Ethernet) also allows the camera to be operated and powered with a single Ethernet cable, giving
greater ease of installation. In order to facilitate on-board storage and data portability, the camera is also
complete with a MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for local recording. In corridor scenario, video rotation
feature can provide wider vertical coverage for more depth.
Featuring the Wide Dynamic Range Technology WDR Pro, it provides improved visibility in the extremely
dark & light environment. Combined with 3D Noise Reduction Technology, which enables the MD8531H
to capture clear, polished video under low-light conditions and reduce bandwidth from sensor noise,
users can identify an increased level of image details in pretty bright as well as dark environments.
Revision History
Rev. 1.0: Initial release.
Rev. 1.1: Corrected description about PoE connection.
Rev. 1.2: Corrected the DO pin description.
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 Configuration 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.

DI/DO Diagram
1. The DO+ pin provides a 3.3V output, and the max. load is 50mA.
2. The max. voltage for DO- pins is 80VDC (External power).
In order to control AC devices, the following diagram can be taken into consideration. This
diagram uses a relay to control the ON/OFF condition of the AC device.
3. An external relay can be triggered by using the DO+ or by an external power source,
depending on the type of relay you use.
4. In case of using an individual relay (instead of using a relay module), for protection against
voltage or current spikes, a transient voltage suppression diode must be connected in parallel
with the inductive load.

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured port number to a network camera on the private network, and
allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same
path.

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP
request as follows: http://122.146.57.120:8000
If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your
router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network.
Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with
the conguration.
For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),
please refer to Conguration > Network Settings. VIVOTEK also provides the automatic
port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router
must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.
