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 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 30 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 78 for details.
IP address : 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

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 ac-
cordingly 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 for-
warding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support
the UPnP port forwarding feature.

IMPORTANT:
The Local dewarp function is designed for use with 3rd-party software that did not implement the
dewarp plug-ins. A video stream can be dewarped on the camera into a regional or panoramic
view before being sent to the client side. However, since the video has already been dewarped
into a more viewable rectilinear view, you can not exert PTZ control or change the view angle on
the client computer.
When using the Local dewarp, you should configure the view angle of a regional view in the
PTZ > PTZ settings window.
Below are the appearances of the control panel when the Local dewarp function is enabled or
disabled. The PTZ panel and the Display mode menu disappear when a video stream is using
the Local dewarp function. See page 63 for more information.

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264 or

H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with
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 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 87.
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 using 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 behind a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
camera’s streaming data to pass through.

(2) Unknown reason causing abnormal LED status, and a Restore cannot recover normal working
condition.
You can use the following methods to activate the camera with its backup rmware:
(1) Press and hold down the reset button for at least one minute.
(2) Power on the camera until the Red LED blinks rapidly.
(3) After boot up, the rmware should return to the previous version before the camera hanged. (The

This Network Camera offers real-time H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG compression standards (Triple
Codec) for real-time viewing.
If
H.264 or MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are several
parameters for you to 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. 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 smoothlier video
quality.
Regardless of the power line frequency setting (60Hz or 50Hz), the frame rates are selectable at 1fps,
2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 12fps, and 15fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a

■ Intra frame period
Determine how often 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.
■ Video quality
• 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, and 16Mbps. 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 sometimes be compromised. If Image quality
priority is selected, the Network Camera might 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.
The Maximum bit rate setting in the Fixed quality configuration can ensure a reasonable and
limited use of network bandwidth. For example, in low light conditions where a Fixed quality
setting is applied, video packet sizes can tremendously increase when noises are produced with
electrical gain.
You may also manually enter a bit rate number by selecting the Customized option.

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing
a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. 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.
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 MPEG4 and
H.264.
►
Video quality and xed quality refers to the compression rate. If you select to enter a Customized value in
the Fixed quality menu, a lower value will produce higher quality.
►
Converting high-quality video may significantly 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.

dynamic IP address, to have a xed host and domain name.
Express link
Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register a
domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address. This
service will check out if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router.
Unlike DDNS, which requires a user to manually check out details about UPnP port forwarding,
the Express Link is more convenient and easy to set up.
Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:
1. Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated, or you may see the
following warning message: Express link is not supported under current network environment.
2. Check Enable express link.
3. Enter a host name for the network device and click Save. If the host name has been used by another

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 defines 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 priority level, your network switch will handle video packets rst.
NOTE:
► A VLAN-capable Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.
► 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 - 93
QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)
DSCP-ECN defines 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 certicate 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
certicate from a Certicate Authority (i.e., MIS of your company) 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).
Supplicant
(Network Camera)
Authenticator
(Network Switch)
Authentication Server
(RADIUS Server)
IMPORTANT
The maximum length of password is 200

VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 107
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.
► 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 certificates 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.
Event
An event is an action initiated by a user-dened trigger source. In the Event column, click Add to open
the event settings window.

■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting.
■ Enable this event: Select this checkbox to enable the event setting.
■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher
priority setting will be executed rst.
■ Detect next motion detection or digital input after
seconds: Enter the duration in seconds to pause
motion detection after a motion is detected. This prevents too many events to be triggered within a
short time.
Follow the steps 1~3 to arrange the three elements -- Schedule, Trigger, and Action to set an event. A
total of 3 event settings can be congured.
1. Schedule
Specify the period for the event. Please select the days of the week and the time in a day (in 24-hr time
format) to specify when will the event-triggering conditions take effect.
2. Trigger
This is the cause or stimulus which denes what will trigger the event. The trigger source can be cong-
ured to use the Network Camera’s built-in motion detection mechanism or external digital inputs.
There are several choices of trigger sources as shown below.
Select each item to display its related
options.
■ Video motion detection
This option makes use of the built-in motion detection mechanism as a trigger source. To enable this
function, you need to congure a Motion Detection Window rst. For more information, please refer to
Motion Detection on page 128 for details.
■ Periodically
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger periodically for every other dened minute. Up to 999
minutes are allowed.
■ Digital input
This option allows the Network Camera to use an external digital input device or sensor as a trigger
source. Depending on your application, there are many choices with digital input devices on the market
which help detect changes in temperature, vibration, sound, light, etc.
■ System boot
This option triggers the Network Camera when the power to the Network Camera is disconnected.
■ Recording notify
This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the recording disk is full or when recording
starts to overwrite older data.

► How does motion detection work?
There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above,
frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are
detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity
is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity settings are expected to
detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them. When the sensitivity is set
to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion
detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is
set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will
be outlined in red.
For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher
sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values.

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.
The default of the camera can be muted due to the lack of an internal microphone. An external
microphone is provided by users.
NOTE:

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
User's Manual - 143
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
