Repeater Model (
IB9381-HRT, IB9371-HRT
) Cascade Connections
Each camera consumes up to 14.5W power. Up to 2 R model cameras and 1 non-repeater
camera can be cascaded in a conguration with a cabling distance of up to 300 meters.
The precondition is the use of the AE-FED-0500-120 PoE switch, which can deliver more
than 50W of power per port (exceeding the 802.3at specications).
Please use quality cables when cabling over an extended distance. Power loss due to
resistance can occur with low-quality cables.
Many copper coated aluminum (CCA) and other non-standard conductors cabling products
are masqueraded as CAT5E or CAT6 cables. Please avoid using these CCA products
especially when cascading PoE cameras. It is a must to use Ethernet cables compliant
with the 3P/ETL standard.

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.265/H.264 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 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 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 84.
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.

rectangular space, such as a corridor. The conventional HD image, such as that of a 16:9 aspect
ratio, will be incongruous with its wide horizontal view. With video rotation, the camera can more
readily cover the eld of view on a tall and narrow scene.
The rotation here indicates clockwise
rotation. Rotation can be applied with
flip, mirror, and physical lens rotation
(see below) settings to adapt to different
mounting locations.
The gures in the illustration are shown in
a consecutive order.
Video orientation: Flip - vertically reect the display of the live video; Mirror - horizontally reect the

IR cut lter
With a removable IR-cut lter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the lter to let IR
light enter the light sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode
The Network Camera automatically removes the lter by judging the level of ambient light.
■ Day mode
In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut lter at all times to block infrared light
from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.
■ Night mode
In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut lter at all times for the sensor to
accept infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.
■ Synchronize with digital input
The Network Camera automatically removes the IR cut lter when a Digital Input is triggerred.
For example, an external IR light may come with its own detection circuits.

Tips:
If there is an object in close proximity, the IR lights
reflected back from it can mislead the Smart IR’s
calculation of light level. To solve this problem, you
can place an “Exposure Exclude” window on an
unavoidable object in the Exposure setting window.
See page 6159 for how to do it.
You can also configure the “Exposure Exclude”
window in a night mode “Prole” setting so that your

Focus
Focus here refers to the Remote Focus, applicable to Network Cameras that are equipped
with a stepping motor lens. The automated focus adjustment function eliminates the needs
to physically adjust camera focus. In an outdoor deployment consisting of a large number
of cameras, the auto focus function can be very helpful when these cameras become out
of focus after days or weeks of operation. And that can easily result from the effects of
natural forces, e.g., shrink and expand due to a wide range of operating temperatures and
the vibration caused by wind.
Below is the procedure to perform the automated Focus function:
1. Select from the bottom of the screen whether you want to perform focus adjustment on
the Full view or within a Custom focus window. You can create a custom window and
click and drag the window to a desired position on screen.
2. It is recommended to Reset to the default back focus position of the sensor board.
3. You can use the Fully-opened iris checkbox (default) to increase the iris size for a
better focus adjustment result.
4. Click to select the Fully-opened iris or the Full-range scan buttons. When a full-range
scan is selected, a full-range scan through the camera's entire focal length can take
about 30 to 80 seconds. If not, the auto focus scan will only go through the length where
optimal focus may occur, and that takes about 15 to 20 seconds. In theory, best results
of the auto scan can be acquired when the camera's iris is fully open.

This Network Camera offers real-time H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression standards (Triple
Codec) for real-time viewing. If the H.265 or H.264 mode is selected, the video is streamed via
RTSP protocol. There are several parameters through which you can adjust the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolutions for different viewing devices. For example, set a
smaller frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video
size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers, or recording the stream to an NVR.
Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother
video quality and for recognizing moving objects in the eld of view.
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz , the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps,

The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often for rmware to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely
you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select
the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds,
3 seconds, and 4 seconds.
■ Dynamic Intra frame period
High quality motion codecs, such as H.265, utilize the redundancies between video frames to
deliver video streams at a balance of quality and bit rate.
The encoding parameters are summarized and illustrated below. The I-frames are completely
self-referential and they are largest in size. The P-frames are predicted frames. The encoder
refers to the previous I- or P-frames for redundant image information.

By dynamically prolonging the intervals for I-frames insertion to up to 10 seconds, the bit rates
required for streaming a video can be tremendously reduced. When streaming a video of a
static scene, the Dynamic Intra frame feature can save up to 53% of bandwidth. The amount of
bandwidth thus saved is also determined by the activities in the eld of view. If activities occur
in the scene, rmware automatically shortens the I-frame insertion intervals in order to maintain
image quality. In the low light or night conditions, the sizes of P-frames tend to be enlarged due
to the noises, and hence the bandwidth saving effect is also reduced.
Streaming a typical 2MP scene normally requires 3~4Mb/s of bandwidth. With the Dynamic Intra
frame function, the bandwidth for streaming a medium-trafc scene can be reduced to 2~3Mb/s,
and during the no-trafc period of time, down to 500kb/s.

With the H.265 codec in an optimal scenario and when Dynamic Intra frame is combined with
the Smart Stream function, an 80% of bandwidth saving can be achieved compared with using
H.264 without enabling these bandwidth-saving features.
• Smart codec: Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non-
interested areas on a screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed.
You can manually specify the video quality for the foreground and the background areas.
Select an operation mode if Smart codec is preferred.
- Auto tracking: The Auto mode congures the whole screen into the non-interested area.
The video quality of part of the screen returns to normal when one or more objects
move in that area. The remainder of the screen where there are no moving objects
(no pixel changes) will still be transmitted in low-quality format.
- Manual: The Manual mode allows you to congure 3 ROI windows (Region of Interest,
with Foreground quality) on the screen. Areas not included in any ROI windows
will be considered as the non-interested areas. The details in the ROI areas will be
transmitted in a higher-quality video format.
As illustrated below, the upper screen may contain little details of your interest,
while the sidewalk on the lower screen is included in an ROI window.

As the result, the lower screen is constantly displayed in high details, while the
upper half is transmitted using a lower-quality format. Although the upper half is
transmitted using a lower quality format, you still have an awareness of what is
happening on the whole screen.
- Hybrid: The major difference between the “Manual” mode and the “Hybrid” mode is
that:
In the “Hybrid“ mode, any objects entering the non-interested area will restore
the video quality of the moving objects and the area around them. The video
quality of the associated non-interested area is immediately restored to normal
to cover the moving objects.
In the “Manual” mode, the non-interested area is always transmitted using a
low-quality format regardless of the activities inside.
You should also select the Maximum bit rate from the pull-down menu as the threshold
to contain the bandwidth consumption for both the high- and low-quality video sections
in a smart stream.
- Quality priority: Use the slide bar to tune the quality contrast between the ROI and
non-interested areas.
The farther the slide bar button is to the right, the higher the image quality of
the ROI areas. On the contrary, the farther the slide bar button to the left, the
higher the image quality of the non-interested area.
In this way, you may set up an ROI window as a privacy mask by covering a
protected area using an ROI window, while the remaining screen become the
non-interested area. You may then congure the non-interested area to have a
high image quality, or vice versa.

Constant bit rate:
• Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning
that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. The bandwidth
utilization is congurable to match a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality
performance. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps,
40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps,
3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, ~ to 32Mbps. You can
also select Customize and manually enter a value up to 40Mbps.
- Target bit rate: select a bit rate from the pull-down menu. The bit rate ranges from
20kbps to a maximum of 16Mbps. The bit rate then becomes the Average or Upper
bound bit rate number. The Network Camera will strive to deliver video streams
around or within the bit rate limitation you impose.
- Policy: If Frame Rate Priority is selected, the Network Camera will try to maintain
the frame rate per second performance, while the image quality will be compromised.
If Image quality priority is selected, the Network Camera may drop some video
frames in order to maintain image quality.
• Fixed quality: On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are
transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable.
The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good,
Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.
Maximum bit rate: With the guaranteed image quality, you might still want to place
a bit rate limitation to control the size of video streams for bandwidth and storage
concerns. The congurable bit rate starts from 1Mbps to 40Mbps.
You may also manually enter a bit rate number by selecting the Customized option.

If the JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera sends consecutive JPEG images to the client,
producing a moving effect similar to a lmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees
the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because
the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client.
There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller
frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and
a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more
bandwidth.
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother
video quality.
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz (at the 5MP resolution), the frame rates are selectable
at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, and 15fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the
frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, and 15fps. You can also select
Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher
resolution.
■ Video quality
Refer to the previous page setting an average or upper bound threshold for controlling the
bandwidth consumed for transmitting motion jpegs. The conguration method is identical to that
for H.264.
For Constant Bit Rate and other settings, refer to the previous page for details.
►
Video quality and xed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher
quality.
►
Converting high-quality video may signicantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter
streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene. In the event of
occurance, we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain
smooth video.

Network > QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain
quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the
network capacity is insufcient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality
can be dened as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:
■
The ability to prioritize trafc and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data ow.
■
The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher
reliability and stability on the network.
Requirements for QoS
To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:
■
All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.
■
The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.
QoS models
CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)
IEEE802.1p denes a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of
Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from
0 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different
queuing disciplines to forward the packets.
Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the
priority for each application (0~7).
If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets rst.
NOTE:
► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.
►The Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth
and delivery time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" trafc
control and QoS as "nely-grained" trafc control.
► Although CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees
since it is based on L2 protocol.
VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 91
QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)
DSCP-ECN denes QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model
is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a eld
to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that
provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded,
known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of
bandwidth, queueing theory, and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each
network node classify packets according to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding
treatment; for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint). Specify the DSCP value for each
application (0~63).

Security > IEEE 802.1X
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network
access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server
must support and enable 802.1x settings.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides
authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all
certicates between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if
authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.
■
The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:
1.
Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.
2.
Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end
users from communicating with the authentication server.
3.
Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides
whether to accept the end user’s access request.
■
VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-
PEAP and EAP-TLS.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:
1. Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply
a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i.e., your network administrator) which can be
validated by a RADIUS server.
2. Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the
conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as
the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then
upload related certicate(s).

3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting
it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.

NOTE:
► The authentication process for 802.1x:
1. The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network Camera
(the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).
2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the
authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certicate, which is then forwarded by the
switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and
returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera.
4. Assuming all certicates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to
authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.

Event > Event settings
This section explains how to congure the Network Camera to respond to particular situations
(event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends
buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is
an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many
sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices. When an event is triggered,
you can specify what type of action that will be performed. You can configure the Network
Camera to send snapshots or videos to your email address or FTP site.
Event
To congure an event with reactive measures such as recording video or snapshots, it is necessary to
congure the server and media settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such
as which server to send the media les to) when a trigger is activated. An event is an action initiated by a
user-dened trigger source
.

2. In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window.
■ Use 4 mouse clicks to designate a detection window. You can change the window shape by dragging
the corner marks to a preferred location.
■ Drag the item size tab to change the minimum size of item to trigger an alarm. An item size box will

be larger than the Item size to trigger an alarm. Change the item size according to the live view.
■ To delete a window, click the X mark on the right of the window name.
3. Dene the sensitivity to moving objects by moving the Sensitivity slide bar. Note that a high sensitivity
is prone to produce false alarms such as the fast changes of light (such as day/night mode switch,
turning lights on/off). A movement must persist longer than 0.3 second for the motion to be detected.
4. Click Save to enable the settings.
5. Select Enable motion detection to enable this function.
For example:
The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the variation between sequential images. When
motions are detected by the Network Camera and are considered to exceed the preset threshold, the red

► How does motion detection work?
There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Min. Item Size. As illustrated above, frame
A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and
highlighted in gray in which the sensitivity setting will take effect. Sensitivity is a value that expresses
the sensitivity to moving objects. A higher sensitivity setting allows camera to detect slight movements
while a lower sensitivity setting will neglect them.
The minimum item size is a threshold value that determines how many “alerted pixels” can trigger an
event. When the size of an intruding object is larger than the minimum size, and its movement persist
for 0.3 second, the motion is judged to exceed the dened threshold; and the motion window will be
outlined in red. With a large minimum item size, the size of moving object in frame C is considered as
smaller than the minimum item size, no motion alarm is triggered. With a smaller minimum item size,
the same moving object in frame D triggers the alarm.
For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher
sensitivity settings. However, a higher sensitivity level can also produce false alarms due to fast light
changes when switching between the day and night modes, AE switch, turning the light on or off, etc.

Applications > Tampering detection
This section explains how to set up camera tamper detection. With tamper detection, the
camera is capable of detecting incidents such as redirection, blocking or defocusing, or
even spray paint.
Please follow the steps below to set up the camera tamper detection function:
1. Click to select the checkbox before tampering conditions: Tampering detection, Image
too dark, Image too bright, and Image too blurry. Enter the tamper trigger duration.
(10 sec. ~ 10 min.). The duraction specifies the set of time before the tampering is
considered as a real alarm. This helps avoid false alarms by short-lived changes.
The tamper alarm will be triggered only when the tampering factor (the difference
between current frame and pre-saved background) exceeds the trigger threshold.
Conditions such as image too dark, too bright, or too blurry (defocused) can also be
configured as tampering conditions. The Trigger threshold determines how sensitive
your is tamper detection setting. Lower the threshold number, easier to trigger.
Too bright: shining a flash light. The average lighting level of the scene is taken into
consideration.
Too dark: covering the objective or spraying paint.
Too blurry: blurry scene can be the result of strong interference on the device, such as
EMI interference.
2. You can configure Tampering Detection as a trigger element to the proactive event
congurations in Event -> Event settings -> Trigger. For example, when the camera is
tampered with, camera can be congured to send the pre- and post-event video clips to
a networked storage device. Please refer to page 112 for detailed information.

Applications > Audio detection
Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios:
1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a
door/window.
2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of
machines.
3. A PTZ camera can be directed to turn to a preset point by the occurrence of audio events.
4. Dark environments where video motion detection may not function well.
The red circles indicate where the audio alarms can be triggered when breaching or falling below
the preset threshold.
How to congure Audio detection:
1. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively
indicated by a uctuating yellow wave diagram.
2. Use a mouse click to drag the Alarm level tab to a preferred location on the slide bar.
3. Select the “Enable audio detection“ checkbox and click Save to enable the feature.
1. Note that the volume numbers (0~100) on the side of wave diagram does not represent decibel
(dB). Sound intensity level has already been mapped to preset values. You can, however, use
the real-world inputs at your installation site that are shown on the wave diagram to congure
an alarm level.
2. To configure this feature, you must not mute the audio in Configuration > Media > Audio.

IMPORTANT:
• If the Alarm level and the received volume are set within a range of 20% on the wave
diagram, frequent alarms will be triggered. It is recommended to set the Alarm level
farther apart from the detected sound level.
• To configure and enable this feature, you must not configure video stream #1 into
Motion JPEG. If an external microphone input is connected and recording of audio
stream is preferred, audio stream is transmitted between camera and viewer/recording
station along with stream #1.
• Refer to page 74 for Audio settings, and page 68 for video streaming settings.
You can use the Prole window to congure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a
place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night.
1. Click on the Enable this prole checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the
current sound input will be interactively indicated by a uctuating yellow wave diagram.
2. Use a mouse click to drag the Alarm level tab to a preferred location on the slide bar.

Users can store and execute VIVOTEK's or 3rd-party software modules onto the camera's
flash memory or SD card. These software modules can apply in video analysis for
intelligent video applications such as license plate recognition, object counting, or as an
agent for edge recording, etc.
• Once the software package is successfully uploaded, the module conguration (vadp.
xml) information is displayed. When uploading a module, the camera will examine
whether the module fits the predefined VADP requirements. Please contact our
technical support or the vendor of your 3rd-party module for the parameters contained
within.
• Users can also run VIVOTEK's VADP packages as a means to access updated
functionality instead of replacing the entire rmware.
• Note that for some cameras the flash is too small to hold VADP packages. These
cameras will have its "Save to SD card" checkbox selected and grayed-out for all time.

Appendix
URL Commands for the Network Camera
1. Overview
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network
Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax. This section specifies the external
HTTP-based application programming interface. The HTTP-based camera interface provides the
functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.), and get and set
internal parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built-in Web server.
2. Style Convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, text within angle brackets denotes content that
is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle brackets
should also be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with
<servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL
syntax example further down in the page.
URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced
syntax as shown below. For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and is intended to
be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.
adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data is
returned in HTTP format, i.e., each line is separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box
with the example.
Example: request a single snapshot image
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
VIVOTEK
144 - User's Manual
3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the
CGI request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in
the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory.
The file extension .cgi is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Set digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1

DESCRIPTION
api_httpversion <string>
This number start
with 0301a.
0/7 The version of VIVOTEK WebAPI with 4
integers plus 1 alphabet, There are composed
by "major version", "minor version",
"revision","_platform". ex: 0301a_1
Major version
Increase the major version when change,
remove the old features/interfaces or the
firmware has substantially change in
architecture and not able to roll back to
previous version. This may cause
incompatibility with supporting software.
Minor version
Increase the minor version when add new
features/interfaces without change the old
features and interfaces.
Revision
Increase the revision when fix bugs without
change any features of the output.
_platform
This is a constant, it is used to distinguish
between different platforms
API version format:
MMmmr_k
Where "MM" is the major version, "mm" is the
minor version and "r" is the revision.
'M' and 'm' and 'k' are decimal digit from 0 to 9,
while 'r' is an alphabetic.
EX: 0302b_1 => Major version = 03, minor
version = 02, revision = b, platform = 1
The 4 integer numbers are WebAPI version, we
use short name: [httpversion] for it in this
VIVOTEK
218 - User's Manual
document.
The 5th character is model-based version for
API bug-fix and it's default to "a".
Ex: If some APIs in a model does not follow the
API definition of 0301a_1, we will fix them and
change this API value to 0301b_1.

videosize=640x480&resolution=640x480&stretch=0
In zoom operation, there are two ways to control it, scale zoom and area zoom.
1. [Scale zoom]: contains two control method, relative movement and continuous movement
a. relative movement -
If you trigger a relative movement, it will only zoom certain ratio and stop by itself.
http://IPAddr/cgi-bin/camctrl/eCamCtrl.cgi?stream=0&zoom=tele
http://IPAddr/cgi-bin/camctrl/eCamCtrl.cgi?stream=0&zoom=wide
The zoom ratio to move by relative movement is according to the setting of speedzoom [-5~5].
http://IPAddr/cgi-bin/camctrl/eCamCtrl.cgi?stream=0&speedzoom=5
b. continuous movement -
If you trigger a continuous movement, you have to handle the stop time by yourself.
A continuous movement is convenient to integrate a joystick control.

http://IPAddr/cgi-bin/camctrl/eCamCtrl.cgi?stream=0&zooming=wide&zs=5
zooming is used to indicate the moving direction, and zs is used to indicate the speed.
To stop a continuous movement, you have to use the command as below:
http://IPAddr/cgi-bin/camctrl/eCamCtrl.cgi?stream=0&zoom=stop&zs=0
2. [Area zoom]: it means to zoom in on a specific area, here is an example for a directly moving
[x, y] is the desired coordinate, and it will be the center after movement
[w, h] is the scaled area size
[resolution] is the base range of this coordinate system
The example shows [w, h] = [864, 488], which means to zoom in to ratio x2.2 based on [1920x1080].
Pay attention to that [x, y, w, h] are essential parameters in an area zoom case, and the stream index is counted
from 0 as the first stream.

For details on timeshift stream, please refer to the “TimeshiftCaching” documents.
PARAMETER VALUE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
maxsft <positive
integer>
0 Request cached stream at most how many seconds ago.
tsmode normal,
adaptive
normal Streaming mode:
normal => Full FPS all the time.
adaptive => Default send only I-frame for MP4 and H.264, and
send 1 FPS for MJPEG. If DI or motion window are triggered, the
streaming is changed to send full FPS for 10 seconds.
(*Note: this parameter also works on non-timeshift streams.)
reftime mm:ss The time
camera receives
the request.
Reference time for maxsft and minsft.
(This provides more precise time control to eliminate the
inaccuracy due to network latency.)
Ex: Request the streaming from 12:20
rtsp://10.0.0.1/live.sdp?maxsft=10&reftime=12:30
forcechk N/A N/A Check if the requested stream enables timeshift, feature and
if minsft is achievable.
If false, return “415 Unsupported Media Type”.
minsft <positive
integer>
0 How many seconds of cached stream client can accept at least.
(Used by forcechk)
