Overview
VIVOTEK’s MD8564-EH is a 2-megapixel network camera geared toward transportation
applications, focusing on rolling stock deployments. Designed specifically for mounting
outside the vehicle, MD8564-EH can work either as a side-view camera (also known as
back-mirror camera or DOO camera) or pantograph monitoring camera if placed on the
roof of the vehicle. In both applications, camera provides the driver with clear view of
critical areas for incident monitoring and operational awareness. Armed with built-in IR
illuminators, the MD8564-EH is able to provide superior image quality for up to 30 meters
in total darkness.
With full EN50155 TX compliance the camera can withstand shock, vibrations, humidity,
and electromagnetic interference, maintaining reliable video preview and recording during
vehicle movement. Furthermore, the ruggedized metal housing provide effective and
robust protection from harsh outdoor conditions: IK10+ rating guarantees high resistance to
mechanical impact, IP6K9K rating ensures camera is completely weather-proof. MD8564EH also features wide operating temperature range -40°C~70°C and a front glass heater
for de-icing and de-frosting, making the camera suitable even for the toughest climate
conditions.
Employing VIVOTEK’s Smart Stream II technology, the MD8564-EH can reduce both
bandwidth and storage consumption by up to 50%* while maintaining high standards of
image quality.
* Depending on scene monitored.

installing this unit for its intended use.
It is important to first 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.
Package Contents
■ MD8564-EH
■ Screws, T10 star driver, desiccant bag
■ Quick Installation Guide & alignment sticker
NOTE:
Use the camera only with a DC power supply that is UL listed, and limited power source
(LPS) certied. The power supply should bear the UL listed and LPS marks. The power
supply must also meet any safety and compliance requirements for the country of use.
IMPORTANT:
1. >0°C ~ 10W. Under a normal temperature condition, the camera consumes 10W of
power, and can be powered via a PoE 802.3af connection.
2. When operating under a cold weather, -40°C ~ 0°C , the front glass heater creates an
additional 50W load, and must be supplied by a 24V DC connection.
NOTE:
Some of the sufx syntax used in model naming are listed below:
E w/ heater for extreme weather
Fx Focal length w/ number
T w/ Remote focus lens

192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.
■ HTTP port: default is 80
■ RTSP port: default is 554
■ RTP port for video: default is 5556
■ RTCP port for video: default is 5557
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer
to your router’s user’s manual.
3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the
Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 74 for details.
Internet connection with static IP
Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera.
Please refer to LAN setting on page 73 for details.
Internet connection via PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)
Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line. Please refer to
PPPoE on page 74 for details.

VIVOTEK
Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a pre-congured 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.
From Forward to
122.146.57.120:8000 192.168.2.10:80
122.146.57.120:8001 192.168.2.11:80
... ...
When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP
request such 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.

Using VIVOTEK Recording Software
The product software CD also contains a VAST recording software, allowing simultaneous
monitoring and video recording for multiple Network Cameras. Please install the recording
software; then launch the program to add the Network Camera to the Channel list. For detailed
information about how to use the recording software, please refer to the user’s manual of the
software or download it from http://www.vivotek.com.
Tips:
1. If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera
defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
2. If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the IW2 utility
to search the network. If the camera has been congured with a xed IP that does not comply
with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot find the
camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults. The factory default is DHCP client.
3. If you change your network parameters, e.g., added a camera via a connection to a LAN
card, re-start the IW2 utility.
