VIVOTEK
Overview
VIVOTEK SF8172/72V are the latest sheye xed dome network cameras from VIVOTEK,
featuring a detailed 5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a
sheye lens for 360° surround view (ceiling/oor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera
is able to provide coverage of wide, open areas, such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots,
retail stores, ofces and more.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SF8172/72V feature removable IR-cut lters,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. SF8172V’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the
camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather
conditions; additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protection from physical damage. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card
slot for on-board storage, EN50155 (SF8172V only) and iPad applications, the SF8172/72V are
indisputably the top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest coverage possible.
Moreover, SF8172/72V are compatible with the VIVOTEK Panoramic PTZ solution. Panoramic
PTZ is a groundbreaking new technology developed by VIVOTEK for monitoring open areas
with extreme detail. This feature is realized through the synergy of a VIVOTEK megapixel sheye camera with speed dome camera, and allows users to simultaneously monitor an area
overview from a sheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from a
speed dome. Suitable applications for Panoramic PTZ include department stores, station lobbies, airports, parking lots, and any wide open areas where comprehensive video surveillance
systems and the capability for extreme video detail are essential.
Revision History
Rev. 1.0: Initial release. These models are to be congured into a Panoramic PTZ conguration.

1. Connect the Ethernet and the Power & IO cables. The Ethernet cable
is user-supplied.
2. Use an included cable tie to secure the Ethernet and IO cable to the base plate. Insert the
cable tie through the vertical mounting tab located on the edge of the cabling cutout.
3. Make a clearance between cables and the vertical mounting tab. Arrange the cables neatly to
avoid getting in the way when the dome cover is attached.
4. Cut the extra length from the cable tie.
If you route cables through a drill hole
on a wall/ceiling, simply route cables
through the cabling cutout.

IMPORTANT for both SF8172V and SF8172:
Refer to the "Panoramic PTZ Installation Guide" in your product CD for design considerations
before you proceed with physical installation.
The camera is intended to be installed with an SD series speed dome camera in a "Panoramic
PTZ" conguration. Users should take the following into account:
1. There is a dominant - subordinate relationship between the sheye camera and the speed
dome. All congurations are done on a PC running the Calibration tool and a web console
with the sheye camera. The computation required for exerting the Panoramic PTZ control
takes place on the sheye camera.
Controller (dominant)

Auxiliary (subordinate)
camera
2. In a panoramic PTZ conguration, the sheye camera provides an overview over the 360°
hemispheric eld of view; while the speed dome provides tracking, zooming, and keeping an
object in a view of an adequate size. The conguration is operated via the VAST or Milestone
software with easy clicks and drags.

Installation Concerns
Note the following when installing the sheye and speed dome cameras:
1. Mount the cameras closely together, no greater than 1 meter apart.
2. The cameras should be mounted at the height of 3 to 6 meters from the ground, and their
lens at approximately the same height.
3. A conguration thus congured can cover a surveillance area of a radius of 10 meters*.
4. Auto tracking, if applied, is designed to track an intruder in a place where human trafc is
not heavy, such as a warehouse or a load area. Heavy trafc can result in a constant shift of
tracked objects, and reduce the effectiveness of the feature.
* Note that the 10 meter radius area only applies when using the Auto tracking feature. If using
manual control, the surveillance area can be much larger.

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 enabling the access to 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.
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
Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 69 for details.
22 - User's Manual
VIVOTEK
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 conguration on page 69 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 90 for details.
Set up the Network Camera through Power over Ethernet (PoE)
When using a PoE-enabled switch
The Network Camera is PoE-compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a single
Ethernet cable. Follow the below illustration to connect the Network Camera to a PoE-enabled
switch via an Ethernet cable.
NOTE:
1. The camera is only to be connected to PoE
networks without routing to outside plants.
2. For PoE connection, use only UL listed I.T.E. with
