VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK SD8333-E is part of the SUPREME series product line offering 720p HD resolution
with superb image quality. Adopting a 30x optical zoom lens, the SD8333-E is able to capture
details at top-notch quality. The IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing protects the camera body
against rain, dust and corrosion within a wide temperature range between -40°C to 55°C. This
feature ensures operation under extreme weather conditions and hazardous environments. 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 SD8333-E supports high-performance H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG compression technology
and offers extra smooth video quality with resolution up to 60 fps @ 720p. Boasting WDR
Pro technology, the SD8333-E can also cope with challenging lighting conditions and
generate image quality close to the capabilities of the human eye. With a sophisticated pan/tilt
mechanism, the camera provides fast, precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and
220-degree tilt. Users can also easily control the lens position via a mouse or a joystick to track
the object of interest and set up to 256 preset positions. With the built-in auto tracking feature,
the SD8333-E provides instantaneous reaction to suspicious moving objects in wide area
locations before operators are aware of activity.

Hardware Installation
IMPORTANT:
If your camera comes without the dehumidier, you
should examine whether the color of the silica gel inside
the chassis has turned dark. If so, you should replace
the desiccant bag.
To replace the desiccant bags:
1. Remove the dome cover by loosening 4 T25 antitamper screws.
2. Replace the desiccant bags by attaching them rmly
to the inside of the chassis.
3. Re-install the dome cover.
Also note the following:
1. Do not install the camera in a raining day.
2. It takes approximately 2 days to suppress the
moisture level to 30% or lower, either using the
desiccant bags or the dehumidier.
3. Condensation may still be observed from on the
dome cover within 30 minutes.

Install the Wall-mount Bracket
1. The camera weighs 3.66 kgs. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to the
camera. Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
2. Drill 4 pilot holes (10mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer in the
threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on them so that
the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole for routing cables.
3. Secure the wall mount bracket to wall using 4 sets of captive washers and nuts.

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 17 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

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
14 - User's Manual
VIVOTEK
Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 60 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
... ... ...
Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming
into a precongured 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
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.

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 60 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 61 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.
IEEE 802.3at PoE Switch (30W output)
HD WDR Pro
and / or
AC 24V 3.5A Adapter
(User-supplied)
Power over Ethernet (High Power PoE)
When using a non-PoE switch
Use a High Power PoE power injector (separately purchased) capable of 60W output to connect
between the Network Camera and a non-PoE switch. Sufcient power is required for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated.

H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options
H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or 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 trafc 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 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 70.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality. The downside of 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 without needing to open specic ports for
streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow
streaming data through.
