VIVOTEK

Overview

VIVOTEK SD83x4E/x6E is a series of high performance day/night speed dome network cameras suitable for professional outdoor surveillance applications. The IP66-rated housing protects the camera body against rain and dust and the wide temperature range ensures operation under extreme weather conditions. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open indoor/outdoor spaces such as airports, highways, and parking lots where high-level reliability and precision are always required.

The SD83x4E/x6E support high-performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology and offer extra smooth video quality up to 30 fps @ D1 Resolution. Boasting WDR Pro technology, the SD83x4E/x6E can also cope with challenging lighting conditions and generate image quality similar to the capabilities of a human eye. With sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, the camera provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. Users can easily control the lens position via a mouse or a joystick to track the object of interest and set up to 128 preset positions for patrolling.

As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SD83x4E/x6E feature removable IR-cut lter,

maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. The built-in SD/SDHC card slot offers a convenient and portable storage option to prevent data loss in case of network disconnection. With other advanced features such as audio detection, 802.3at compliant PoE Plus and 30 fps high quality video, the SD83x4E/x6E are the best choices for the most demanding outdoor surveillance applications.

IMPORTANT:

You should examine whether the color of the silica gel inside the chassis has turned red. If so, you should replace the desiccant bag.

To replace the desiccant bags:

1. Remove the dome cover by loosening 4 T25 anti-tamper screws.

2. Replace the desiccant bags by attaching them

rmly to the inside of the chassis.

3. Re-install the dome cover.

Note that it takes approximately 2 days to suppress the moisture level to 30% or lower. Before that, condensation may still be observed from on the dome cover.

Network Deployment

Setting up the Network Camera over the Internet

There are several ways to set up the Network Camera over the Internet. The rst way is to set up the Network Camera behind a router. The second way is to utilize a static IP. The third way is to use PPPoE.

Internet connection via a router

Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow the steps below.

1. Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below.

Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 21 for details.

IP address : 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1

IP address : 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1

Internet

Cable or DSL Modem

WAN (Wide Area Network ) Router IP address : from ISP

LINK

POWER

COLLISION

RECEIVE

PARTITION

LAN (Local Area Network) Router IP address : 192.168.0.1

2. In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is

192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.

■ Secondary HTTP port: 8080

■ RTSP port: 554

■ RTP port for audio: 5558

■ RTCP port for audio: 5559

■ RTP port for video: 5556

■ RTCP port for video: 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

18 - User's Manual

VIVOTEK

Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 66 for details.

For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:

Device IP Address: internal

port

IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the

router) Public IP of router 122.146.57.120 LAN IP of router 192.168.2.1 Camera 1 192.168.2.10:80 122.146.57.120:8000 Camera 2 192.168.2.11:80 122.146.57.120:8001

... ... ...

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured 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 congured, 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 conguration page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router

to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports), please refer to Conguration > 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.

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 on page 66 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 67 for details.

General Connection

1. Connect the Network Camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e) to a PoE Plus switch. A 30W PoE

output port alone can not drive the onboard heater, and hence if using the PoE switch alone, the application does not apply in low-temperature condition. 30W PoE plus can only drive the camera when it is working at a temperature higher than -5ºC.

2. Connect the power wires to an AC 24V power adaptor (user-supplied). The AC 24V adapter

can drive the camera and the onboard heater.

You can connect both power sources for redundancy in power supply.

In addition to the use of a joystick, mouse control is also supported by the web session. You can click

on any spot on the screen to move camera's eld of view to that direction. To pan 360 degrees, you can

click and hold down the left mouse button when clicking a PTZ directional button. The same applies to arrow keys, Zoom, and Focus buttons on the PTZ panel.

Manual triggers: Manual triggers can be turned on/off by users from the main page. The manual triggers can be associated with the Event settings, and, as the result, can be used to perform recording actions,

sending notications, and so on. See Event settings on page 102.

Pan: Click this button to start the auto pan (360° continuous rotation).

Stop: Click this button to stop the Auto Pan, Auto Patrol, and Auto Tracking functions.

Patrol: Once the Administrator has determined the list of preset positions (including the zoom-in action on a particular position), click this button to command the camera to patrol among those positions on the Patrol List. The Network Camera will patrol continuously. For more information, please refer to PTZ control on page 97.

Track: Allows the camera to move along following the moving objects in the current eld of view. If you observe an object of your interest, click this button to track the object. Note that this function does not apply in an extremely crowded area, such as a market or sidewalk full of pedestrian activities. Constant shift of tracked objects will decrease the usability of this feature.

Once started, you can use the Stop button to stop the current action. A click on the screen can also stop the tracking action.

Another key concept is that the camera only detect movements within the current eld of view.

Please refer to PTZ > Auto tracking on page 100 and further for tracking conguration details.
