Overview
VIVOTEK FD8355EHV is a professional outdoor dome network camera offering 30 fps @ 1.3-Megapixel
resolution with superb image quality.
The FD8365EHV provides 30 fps @ 2-Megapixel resolution with superb image quality.
Featuring Improved Wide Dynamic Range Technology WDR Pro II, it provides the extreme visibility in
the extremely dark & light environment with 4 times shutter. Combining 3D Noise Reduction Technology
which enables the FD8355EHV to capture clear, polished video under low-light conditions and reduce
bandwidth from sensor noise, users can identify more image details in extremely bright as well as dark
environments. The FD8365EHV comes with a standard WDR Pro feature.
Besides, as a professional day/night camera, both cameras adopt a Smart IR technology which prevents
overexposure and provides noise reduction to adjust IR lighting intensity instantaneously based on
changes in lighting in the ambient environment.
To provide top-notch image quality, the camera also comes with a P-iris lens, which controls the iris
with extreme precision with its built-in stepper motor. By using software controls, the lens maintains the
iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior sharpness and depth of eld as well as
image quality. Furthermore, for installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera
can be difcult due to the level of image detail. Thus, the camera is also designed with VIVOTEK’s Smart
Focus System to make installation and adjustment easier by using remote focus and zoom adjustment.
The camera’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and high
pressure water jets from any direction while the IK10-rated vandalproof rating provides protection against
the vandalism and impact. Additionally, the wide temperature range further enhances the camera’s
performance and reliability in extremely cold and hot weather.

H.264 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
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 71.
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.

IR cut lter
With a removable IR-cut lter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the lter to allow IR
light enter the 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.
This applies when the camera is installed into a housing that provides its own IR lights and
sensor.
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified

Exposure control:
■
Exposure level: You can manually set the Exposure level, which ranges from -2.0 to +2.0 (dark
to bright). You can click and drag the pointers on the Exposure time and Gain control slide
bars to specify a range of shutter time and Gain control values within which the camera can
automatically tune to an optimal imaging result. You may prefer a shorter shutter time to better
capture moving objects, while a faster shutter reduces light and needs to be compensated by
electrical brightness gains.
■
Exposure mode:
Auto: If you set Exposure mode as Auto, the Exposure time and Gain control will not be
congurable since the sensor library will automatically adjust the value according to the ambient
light. Then you can set iris mode as “indoor” or “outdoor” to reach the best image quality.
■ Iris mode:
Select Indoor or Outdoor iris mode to adapt to the installation. The preset iris
aperture setting will apply.
Manual: (Note that some of the Manual options will be disabled when WDR Pro is
enabled!)
■
Iris Adjustment (available in the Manual mode): The camera comes with a P-iris lens, which
controls the iris opening with extreme precision by its built-in stepping motor. Via software
controls, the lens maintains the iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior
sharpness and depth of eld as well as image quality.
You can manually tune the value of iris opening (aperture size), which can range from 0
(Close. smallest aperture size) to 100 (Open, largest aperture size).
Once set, the iris will stay at current position as long as the lighting condition allows. When
external lighting conditions exceed an acceptable range, the P-iris mechanism adjusts itself.
■ Custom: This mode is only available if you select the “Single Stream (Max. 60fps)” option for
Video.
This option allows you to manually add a specic window as a measuring area. The measuring
window refers to “weighted window“ where the lighting condition within the particular area is taken
into account.
Window
■ BLC: When selected, a BLC window will appear on screen meaning that the center of the scene
will be taken as a weighed area. This option enables light compensation for images that are too
dark or too bright to recognize; for example, for the dark side of objects that is posed against
bright sunlight.
Camera firmware then adopts
the weighted averages method to
calculate the value. You can create

Focus
Focus, also known as Remote Focus, is applicable to Network Cameras that are equipped
with 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 Zoom and Focus function:
1. Use the Zoom slide bar to find an
optimal view of the area of interest
where you want to adjust its focus. Click
and drag the double-triangle pointer to
rapidly adjust the zoom ratio. The Focus
pointer moves with the Zoom pointer
correspondingly.
2. 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.
3. Click to select the Full-range scan and/or the Fully-open iris checkboxes. When
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. The iris fully open
checkbox is selected by default.
4. Click on the Fine-tune focus button, and wait for the scan to complete.
5. After a short while, the clearest image obtained should be displayed and the optimal
focus range achieved. Use the arrow marks on the sides to ne-tune the focus if you are
not satised with the results.
The methodology of using the Resize Buttons at the upper left corner of the streaming
window is the same as that on the home page.

User's Manual - 55
Auto Focus:
Click the Fine-tune focus or the Full-range scan focus button for the camera to automatically
nd the best focus. The process takes about several seconds to complete. The Focus pointer will
stay at the optimal location on the slide bar.
You may still need to use the arrow marks to ne-tune the focus depending on the live image on
your screen. “>” means moving from wide to tele end; and “<” tele to wide.
■
Full-range scan: If selected, the auto focus scan will be performed throughout the complete
range of focus. The full-range scan takes a longer time to complete. A full-range scan usually
takes approximately 3 minutes or longer.
■
Enable iris: Click to restore and use the normal iris control.
Focus window:
By default, the optimal focus is found on a full view window. You may designate a custom window
within your current eld of view to acquire the best focus out of it. However, you can not place a
focus window on a distant background, e.g., a hall way that stretches away for 3 meters or farther.
Doing so you will not benet from the Focus window function.
■
Full view: The focus tuning takes place by referring to the full view.
■
Custom: You can create a focus window and drag it to a place of interest in your view window.
Note that it is recommended to use this function only when you have a solid object in your view
window that is showing a consistent color or texture. This function will not take effect if you set
the focus window on a distant background.

allowed at the 30fps frame rate.
■ Single Stream (Max. 60fps): This allows a single video stream at the highest 60fps frame rate,
best for capturing fast-moving objects.
Media > Video
VIVOTEK

Click the stream item to display the detailed information. The maximum frame size will follow your
settings in the above Viewing Window sections.
This Network Camera offers real-time H.264 and MJPEG compression standards (Dual Codec) for
real-time viewing. If the 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. Note that a larger frame size takes
up more network 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, 5fps,
8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates
are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps.
Higher frame rate is available when the Single Stream mode is selected.

User's Manual - 59
■ 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.
■
Video quality
• Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger le 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.
- 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.
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.
VIVOTEK
60 - User's Manual
If 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, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps,
8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates
are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. 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.
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.
► 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.
NOTE:
VIVOTEK
78 - User's Manual
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).

(Network Camera)
Authenticator
(Network Switch)

(RADIUS Server)
IMPORTANT
The maximum length of password is 200

VIVOTEK
92 - User's Manual
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 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.

NOTE
► 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:
VIVOTEK
116 - User's Manual
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 61 for Audio settings, and page 57 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.
3. Select the Day, Night, or Schedule mode check circles. You may also manually congure a
period of time during which this prole will take effect.
4. Click Save and then click Close to complete your conguration.

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 - 129
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
