VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions
Overview
VIVOTEK PZ7151 (PoE) /PZ7152 (WLAN), equipped with a progressive scan CCD sensor and
pan-focus 2.6x optical zoom lens, is a high-performance network camera for indoor surveillance
applications such as retail stores, offi ces or bank security. With progressive scan techniques,
this network camera is ideal to offer clear, high-quality video and captures ultra-smooth images
of fast-moving objects without any pixilated edges. Built into the camera is a 2.6x motorized panfocus zoom module, which provides greater depth of fi eld when viewing near or distant objects.
With a 350-degree horizontal and 125-degree vertical range of capture, it effectively gives users
a wide-area bird’s view. Wireless and Power over Ethernet connection help reduce the cabling
problems and ease the installation procedure. VIVOTEK PZ7151/PZ7152 also comes with
the free-bundled, multi-lingual 16-channel recording software, which helps users to set up a
powerful surveillance system.
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 also can be part of a fl 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 fi rst verify that all contents received are complete according to the Package
contents listed below. Take notice of the warnings in Quick Installation Guide before the Network
Camera is installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the Installation chapter to
avoid damages 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 network knowledge. It is designed for various applications including video sharing,
general security/surveillance, etc. The Confi guration chapter suggests ways to best utilize the
Network Camera and ensure proper operations. For the creative and professional developers,
the URL Commands of the Network Camera section serves to be a helpful reference to
customize existing homepages or integrating with the current web server.

Options, MPEG-4 Protocol Options and MP4 Saving Options. When completed with the settings
on this page, click Save on the page bottom to take effect.
Stream Options
The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams. For more information,
please refer to Video settings on page 44.
MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data. This works 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 traffi 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 36.
22 - User's Manual
VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of
the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specifi c port
for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a fi rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
streaming data to come through.
MP4 Saving Options
Users can record the live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on
