Overview
VIVOTEK PT8133 (PoE)/ 33W (WLAN) is equipped with a 1MP sensor enabling viewing resolution of
1280x800 at 30 fps. Users need look no further for an all-in-one camera capable of capturing high quality,
high resolution video. The camera is designed for indoor surveillance applications such as retail stores,
ofces, or banks.
With exible 350-degree pan and 125-degree tilt, PT8133/33W gives users more comprehensive control
over a monitored site. The PT8133/33W supports the industry-standard H.264 compression technology,
drastically reducing le sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG
compatibility also included, video streams can also be transmitted in any of these formats for versatile
applications. The streams can also be individually congured to meet different constraints, thereby further
reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Users can thus receive multiple streams simultaneously
in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms.
In addition, PT8133 is integrated with Power over Ethernet functionality, while PT8133W boasts 802.11b/
g/n compatible wireless connection, making installation easier and more cost-efcient. The WPS function
of PT8133W makes wireless conguration easy and straightforward. Together with the free, multi-lingual
32-channel recording software ST7501, users can set up an easy-to-use IP surveillance system with
ease.
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 and complies with all privacy
laws 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 more 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.

for IP setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your conguration on the network
camera via the web console. The camera's default is DHCP.

VIVOTEK
NOTE:
1. WPS may not work if your AP is congured with a "hidden" SSID.
2. If the camera can not detect an AP after 2 minutes, the wireless setup will be cancelled.
3. If a camera is assigned with a xed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless setup will
fail.
4. A wired connection always has a higher priority. Unplug the LAN cable at an appropriate time
for the wireless setup to take effect.
5. The camera also supports manual conguration of wireless settings, enter the SSID (Service
Set Identier) and security authentication password in a web console with the camera.
5-1. Enter the Conguration page -> Wireless.
5-2. Enter the SSID and password of your AP, select the Wireless mode as "Infrastructure."
5-3. Use the "ping <IP address> -t" command in a DOS prompt to observe wired connectivity.
Click the Save button. When wired connection is discontinued, unplug the LAN cable.
5-4. After several seconds, the camera will switch to wireless connection. Disconnect and
then connect the power cord to restart the camera, and you should be able to see live
video from the web console.
6. Select "Ad-Hoc" wireless mode if you prefer direct connection with a PC without the
intermediate AP or wireless router.

This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the
local computer. When nished with the settings on this page, click Save on the bottom of the
page to enable the settings.
H.264/MPEG-4 Media Options
Select whether 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 transmission modes for H.264/MPEG-4
streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for better real-time audio and video streams. However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate the 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 55.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows for the same transmission quality as the TCP protocol without needing to
open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize
this protocol to allow streaming data through.
Note that chaning the protocol option might bring your camera’s focus back to the default home position.
