Overview

VIVOTEK SD7151, equipped with an 18x optical zoom lens, is a high performance day/night speed dome network suitable for professional surveillance applications. It is another signiﬁcant addition to VIVOTEK’s high-end network camera portfolio of progressive-series. Adopting Sony 18x optical zoom lens plus progressive CCD sensor, this network camera allows you not only to have close-up images with exceptional detail from a long distance when enlarged but also get crystal-clear, razor-sharp images of fast-moving objects without jagged edges. With sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, it provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. You can easily control the lens position by a mouse or a joystick to track the object you are interested in and have up to 128 presets for patrolling. The day and night function makes this camera ideal for operating under diverse lighting conditions. When light conditions turns poor, the IR cut ﬁlter will be automatically removed to accept IR illumination. Meanwhile, the camera switches itself automatically from color to black and white, assuring optimal image quality at all times. More advanced features including 3GPP mobile surveillance, two-way audio by SIP protocol, and digital I/O for external sensor and alarm make VIVOTEK SD7151 a full-featured speed dome. It is the best solution for various enterprise projects such as airports, highways, parking lots, and shopping malls, where high-level reliability and precision is always required.

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 ﬂexible surveillance system.

It is composed of the following four sections: Stream Options, MPEG-4 Media 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 39.

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 trafﬁc 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, see RTSP Streaming on page 34.

20 - 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 speciﬁc port for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a ﬁrewall 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 the main page. Here, you can specify the storage destination and ﬁle name.
