Installation

Hardware Installation

Please verify that your product package contains all the accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents. Depending on the user’s application, an Ethernet cable may be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.

Connect the power adapter jack to the Network Camera before plugging in to the power socket. This will reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.

Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the LEDs will blink between green and red for a few times. If self-test passes, the green LED will shut off while the red LED is constantly on and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If self-test fails the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.

Ethernet Connection

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub; then, plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after self-test, go to next paragraph

“Software Installation”.

The Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one relay switch for device control. Pin 3 and Pin 4 can be connected to an external sensor device and the state of voltage can be monitored from the initial state 'LOW'.

The relay switches Pin 1 and Pin 2 can be used to turn on or off an external device.

Software Installation

In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Network Camera, and

"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Network Camera and grant user access to the camera.

At the end of the hardware installation, the Administrator must place the product software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the PC running in MS Windows. An auto-run program will pop up (If the program is not on auto-run, go to the root directory of the software CD and click on “autorun.exe”).

Click on “Software Utility” item, after the window contains changed, click on

“Installation Wizard” to run Vivotek’s installation program.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

Upon Installation Wizard’s start up, a searching box will pop up. This program searches for Vivotek’s product on the same LAN:

After searching, Vivotek Video Servers or

Network Cameras will be located by the

Installation Wizard. There may be several entries shown in the window. The

Administrator may differentiate the

Network Cameras with the serial number.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

For the series number in the “Serial Number” field, please check the label on the bottom of the camera.

The IP addresses shown in the "Current IP Address" field reflect those on the local network. They may be from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the camera will try to find a free IP address (this takes from 15 second to 3 minutes, depending on the LAN status). The method of finding IP address is seeking from

192.168.0.99, to 192.168.0.254. If any of the address inside this range is free, the

Network Camera will be assigned to this IP address, and its subnet mask would be

255.255.255.0. If none of the addresses is free, the Network Camera will try the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.98. After an IP address is assigned to the camera, the “Activity” status LED blinks.

The Vivotek’s new UPnP function will always assign an IP address for the Network

Camera. The Administrator can click on button “Link to selected device” to connect the I.E. to the camera. If the camera is not on the IP installer list, click on the

“Search” button to search for the camera on the LAN.

Initial Access to the Network Camera

Installing Plug-in

For the initial access to the Network Camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new plug-in for the Network Camera after a period of time of downloading. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user’s PC or notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the video in the browser. Users may click on to proceed. If the web browser does not allow the user to continue to install, check the Internet security option and lower the security levels or contact your IT or networking supervisor for help.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

Check Network Settings

The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires the

Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the

System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.

Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access

The default Administrator’s password is blank and the Network Camera initially will not ask for any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration, user administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only option is to restore to the original factory default

settings.

Client Settings

There are four settings for the client side.

Media Options - For the User to determine whether to receive video, audio or

both.

Protocol Options – Which allows choiceschoosing on connection protocol between client and server. There are two protocol choices to optimize your usage – UDP and

HTTP.

The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.

The HTTP protocol must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall which allows only HTTP Port (80) to be opened. If there is no restriction, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP →

HTTP. After the Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Options” will indicate the selected protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and will be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or the user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol and save, then return to HOME to connect to the Network Camera.

Administrator’s Capabilities

Fine-tuning for Best Performance

There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the Network Camera. Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The six factors, “Size”, “Maximum frame rate”, “Video codec type”, “Key frame interval”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality” on the Video Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance possible.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

For Best Real-time Video Images

To achieve good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second. If the broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Fix bit rate” to 1000Kbps or

1200Kbps, or set “Fix quality” at the highest quality. The maximum frame rate is 25 fps in a 50Hz system and 30 fps in a 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. If your network bandwidth is below 384 Kbps, set the “Fix bit rate” according to your bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning with the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow network, greater frame rate results in blur images. Another work-around is to choose “Half” in the “Size” option for better images, or “Halfx2” for a larger image view. Video quality performance will vary somewhat due to the number of users viewing on the network; even when the parameters have initially been finely tuned. Performance will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the network’s burst constraint.

In multi-user environment, the user who has poor network performance will receive only the key frame in MPEG4 format. Try to reduce the key frame interval can improve the frame rate for poor network performance, but the penalty is the increasing of network traffic. If the server is running on the Internet, select the “improve efficiency in the multi-user environment” will improve the efficiency in the multi-user environment.

Only Quality Images Will Do

To have the best video quality, you should set “Fix quality” at “Detailed” or “Excellent” and adjust the “Maximum frame rate” to match your network’s bandwidth. If your network is slow and you receive “broken” pictures, go to the HTTP protocol in

“Connection type” and choose a more appropriate mode of transmission. The images may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images

If you have a broadband network, set “Fix quality” at ”Normal” or better, rather than setting “Fix bit rate”. You can also fix the bandwidth according to your actual network speed and adjust the frame rate. Start from 30 fps down for best results but not below 15 fps. If the image qualities are not improved, select a lower bandwidth setting.

Select for Motion JPEG

The Network Camera is a camera with dual video codec, they’re MPEG4 and MJPEG.

If MJPEG is selected, the camera will transmit video data in JPEG format. Therefore, it requires higher bandwidth to view smooth video. General speaking, each normal sized JPEG image would be 3k~12k bytes, depending on the selected video quality and contents. Together with the frame rate selected, the administrator can control the bandwidth of each connection.

Protect Network Camera by Passwords

The Network Camera is shipped without any password by default. That means everyone can access the Network Camera including the configuration as long as the

IP address is known. It is necessary to assign a password if the Network Camera is intended to be accessed by others. Type a new word twice in the first field to enable protection. This password is used to identify the administrator. Then add an account with user name and password for your friends in the second field. The Network

Camera can provide ten twenty accounts for your valuable customers or friends. Each account identifies the access right rather than the real visitor. That allows multiple visitors share the same account of different level. Each account has four kinds of privileges, which can be set individually. The “I/O access” privilege permits the user


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

to access DI/DO of the server. The “Talk” privilege permits the user to send speech to the Network Camera. The “Listen” privilege permits the user to listen sounds from the server. You may edit or delete some users from the third field.

More Flexible Options for Viewers

If you want to have a guest account for viewers only, you just need to add a user without password and disable all the privileges. Share the account to your friends to access your camera.

Build a Multimedia Web Attraction Site

Demo on Multiple Sites – Mid-scale Service

The Network Camera can allow ten visitors on-line simultaneously. After Installation, focus the Network Camera on any object you wish to share, and tell the visitors to type in the web browser address. Caution: You may want to maintain your visitor’s list in the security configuration page to block out unexpected visitors.

Product Demo for E-business – Large-scale Service

If the number of visitors has exceeded the limit, the Network Camera can allow the

"overload" viewers to see the snapshots in JPEG mode, on the homepage. These are still images and will be refreshed periodically and automatically.

1. Click on “Client Settings” on the homepage,

2. Select “Single JPEG” in “Streaming Options”,

3. Set the snapshot interval to refresh the still image automatically. The longer the snapshot interval, the better the snapshot mode works for multiple viewers.

If you want to expand to allow in more viewers, the host server should be able to handle large network traffic, which must handle the picture refreshing from the

Network Camera.

If the web space has FTP service

Set the Network Camera up as an FTP client to upload the pictures. The access to the

Network Camera will be independent of the number of viewers and the picture quality will remain constant.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,

2. Click on “Mail & FTP” in the left column,

3. Fill in the FTP related settings including server, server port, user name and password, as well as the upload path if it is specified by the web space,

4. Click on “Save”,

5. Click on “Application” in the left column,

6. Select the day or days of the week in “Weekly schedule” you want to upload the pictures,

7. Select “Sequential operation” and set the interval,

8. Unselect “FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix” as the upload method and click on “Save”,

9. The image file uploaded to the web space is named “video.jpg”. Check if the file is successfully uploaded to the correct folder,

10. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file uploaded via FTP in advance.

If the web space has no FTP service

An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from the

Network Camera. It is most efficient if using a free web space provider as the FTP service may be limiting.

1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage as the following example. The URL of image is http://“IP address of the Network Camera”/cgi-bin/video.jpg. Modify the IP address according to your Network Camera. Define the refresh interval according to your network bandwidth for best result. If the refresh rate is too fast and there is a large number of visitors, this may overload the Network Camera and slows the response.

Build a Security Application

The Administrator can combine options on the application page to perform many useful security applications. There are two trigger sources coming from attached devices, such as for motion detection. There are also two kinds of actions responding to such events, including uploading snapshots over the

Internet and driving other attached devices. To upload the snapshots, the

User can choose either email or FTP according to user’s needs. Both e-mail and FTP use the network settings on the Mail & FTP page. Refer to the definition section for detail configuration.

1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,


3. Check the weekdays as you need and give the period of "Snapshots begin" time and "Snapshots end" time to monitor the triggering conditions every day,

4. Check the “Event operation”. The triggering condition can be set to detected motion or status of the attached device,

5. Set the delay before detecting next event to avoid continuous false alarms following the original event,

Network Settings

Any changes made on this page will need to restart the system in order to validate the changes. Make sure every field is entered correctly before clicking on .

"Get IP address automatically" & “Use fixed IP address”

The default status is “Get IP address automatically”. This can be tedious having to perform software installation whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings, especially the IP address, have been entered correctly, select

“Use fixed IP address” then the Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run IP installer to check the IP address assigned to the

Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or using the UPnP function provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at My Network Place).

As for how to get IP address automatically, please refer to the section of Software

Installation.

General

“IP address” This is necessary for network identification.

“Subnet mask” It is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”.

“Default router” This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in different subnet. Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.

“Primary DNS” The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.

“Secondary DNS” The secondary domain name server that backups the Primary

DNS.

HTTP

“HTTP port” This can be other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the User must be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, when the Administrator changes the HTTP port of the Network Camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the User must type in the web browser

“http://192.168.0.100:8080” instead of “http://192.168.0.100”.

Streaming

“UDP Video audio channel port” This can be something other than the default port

5002 in order to work with the port opened by the firewall.

“UDP Audio video channel port” This can be something other than the default port

5003 in order to work with the port opened by the firewall.

“Provider” The provider list contains four hosts that provide DDNS services. Please connect to the service provider’s website to make sure the service charges.

“Host Name” If the User wants to use DDNS service, this field must be filled. Please input the hostname that is registered in the DDNS server.

“Username/E-mail” The Username or E-mail field is necessary for logging in the

DDNS server or notify the User of the new IP address. Note: when this field is input as “Username” the following field must be input as “Password”.

“Password/Key” Please input the password or key to get the DDNS service.

“Enable UPnP” This turns on or off the UPnP function. When UPnP is turned off, the camera cannot be found through network neighbors in MS Windows XP. If the UPnP network component is installed in Windows XP, the hostname of the Network Camera will be shown with bracketed IP address in the Network neighbors. Ex: Network

Camera with Pan/Tilt (xxx.xxx.xxx.96). That is: The hostname of the Network

Camera is “Network Camera with Pan/Tilt”, and the IP address of the Network

Camera is xxx.xxx.xxx.96, depends on the last value of the IP address assigned to the Network Camera.

“Enable UPnP Port Forwarding” This turns on or off the UPnP port forwarding function. If your camera is behind an NAT router and your router supports UPnP port forwarding, turn on this option will help you to access your camera.

Video Codec Parameters

“Text on video” The text will be displayed in the black bar above the video window with a timestamp. The timestamp is captured from date and time of the Network

Camera that is maintained by a built-in real-time clock.

“Color” Select either for color or monochrome video display.

"Size" There are five options for three video sizes. “Half” is the quarter size of

“Normal” and “Normal” is the quarter size of “Double”. “Half x 2” has the same video size as “Normal” but of a lesser quality, while consuming less network bandwidth.

“Normal x 2” has the same size as “Double” but of a lesser quality.

“Video codec type” It can be either MJPEG or MPEG4. In MJPEG mode, the video frames are independent. In MPEG4 mode, there are I frames and P frames. To decode a P frame need the information of previous frame. MPEG4 consumes much less network bandwidth than MJPEG.

There are five dependent parameters provided for video performance adjustment.

"Maximum frame rate" This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be combined with the "Video quality control" to optimize the bandwidth utilization and video quality. If the User wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video quality, choose "Fix bit rate" and select the desired bandwidth. MPEG4 video are composed by I frames and P frames as the following sequence.

IPPPPPIPPPPPIPPPP… “Key frame interval” determines how many repeated P frames will appear after one I frame. Large “Key frame interval” can reduce the bit rate, but cause image corrupt longer if there is packet loss while transmission. “Fix

bit rate” option and “Key frame interval” option are only available in “MPEG4” mode. The video quality may be poor due to the sending of maximal frame rate within the limited bandwidth when images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to ensure detailed video quality (quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically.

"Flip" Vertically rotate the video.

"Mirror" Horizontally rotate the video. Check options both if the Network Camera is installed upside down.

“Improve efficiency in the multi-user environment” Check this option to

Audio

“Transmission mode” There are five options to select. For all the modes, only one client can talk to the server at the same time.

“Full-duplex (Talk and listen simultaneously)” In this mode, the User can talk to the server while listening sound from the server simultaneously.

“Half-duplex (Talk or listen, not at the same time)” In this mode, the User can talk to the server or listen from the server, but not at the same time.

“Simplex – Talk only” In this mode, the User can only talk to the server.

“Simplex – Listen only” In this mode, the User can only listen from the server.

“Disable” In this mode, the audio is disabled in both directions.

“Send audio from the active client to all the other clients” In half duplex transmission mode, select the option to talk to the server and broadcast your voice to all the other clients.

“Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment” If the Network Camera works in versatile or low network bandwidth environment, the User can check this option to improving audio quality by sacrificing some real-time synchronization.

“Acoustic echo cancellation” In full-duplex mode, the server can play sound from the client and receive sound from the environment and send to client. Since the sound from the client is played by server, it will also be received by the server’s microphone and send back to client. That is the client will hear its echo. Select this option can prevent echo by sacrificing the video frame rate.

“Bit rate” There are three kinds of bit-rate for audio. 32Kbps and 24Kbps are suitable for both music and speech like audio while 8Kbps are suitable for only speech like audio.

B. Frequently Asked Questions

Q What if I forget my password?

A After the Administrator's password has been assigned, every access to the Network

Camera needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask the Administrator for the password. If you are the Administrator, there is no way to recover the root password except by restoring the factory default settings. Refer to

Appendix A for the procedures.

Q Why can I not watch video from the Network Camera after it is authenticated?

A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,

1. If you have just installed the Network Camera and are unable to watch the video, check if the heartbeat LED is blinking or the lens cap is off. If the heartbeat LED is dim, perform the software installation again.

2. If the Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing the Network Camera for the first time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer to allow installation of plug-ins.

3. If the problem still exists after adjusting, and the message over the image window is showing "connecting", the network traffic may be too crowded.

4. It there is only “A” shown below the image, check the media options in client settings containing video.

Q What is the plug-in for?

A The plug-in provided by the Network Camera is used to display motion pictures and audio in Internet Explorer. If your system does not allow installation of any plug-in software, the security level of the web browser may need to be lowered. It is recommended that you consult your network supervisors in your office regarding adjustment of the security level. Software installation may be regulated in some offices.

Q Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?

A The timestamp is based on the system time of the Network Camera. It is maintained by a real-time clock inside and can be automatically synchronized with


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

the time-server if the Network Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled. Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.

Q Can I install it on ceiling?

A Yes. There are flip and mirror options in video configuration page to correct the images for upside down installation.

Q The image is not clear enough.

A The image settings and white balance can be fine tuned to achieve the best visual effect. Also notice the power line frequency must match the local utility to synchronize and minimize the effect of flickering florescent lights.

Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?

A Some anti-virus programs filter the received web content. It takes time to perform data examination and affect the streaming application such as that of Network

Camera. However, it only affects the HTTP mode of Network Camera. If the network allows only HTTP mode, disable the web filtering function of the anti-virus program temporarily. During this period, the User should be aware of the risk of malicious network activity.

Q I have opened motion detection windows but it cannot work.

A If the motion detection windows are set up and names are given, check to see if the function is checked on the first line. While it is enabled, adjust the sensitivity and percentage to monitor the level indicator for best results.

Q I cannot hear any sound while watching.

A If there is "V" shown below the image, check the sound card in your PC and make sure media options in client settings containing audio. If "AV" is shown, check the audio source of the Network Camera, make sure you are using internal or external microphone.

Q How many users are allowed to watch the Network Camera at the same time?

A Too many users requesting the real-time multimedia content will jam the network.


T: 886-2-82455282

F: 886-2-82455532

For best results, the Network Camera is designed to accommodate a maximum of ten

(10) users to watch and listen for streaming video and audio at the same time. For a larger number of users, it is recommended to build another web server to host the retrieved contents from the Network Camera.

Q How fast is the video rate of the Network Camera?

A The MPEG4 codec engine can process up to 30 frames per second internally.

However the total performance is subject to many coefficients such as:

1. Network throughput,

2. Bandwidth share,

3. Number of users,

4. The complicated/detailed objects and movement in view,

5. The power of your PC or notebook that is responsible for displaying images.

In general, the transfer rate in a general local network environment can achieve over

200 kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures per second from a regular environment.

Q How can I keep the Network Camera as private as possible?

A The Network Camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible interfaces. The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep the Network Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to a non-public number. The demo account is good to separate guests from normal users and thus you can easily block guests anytime. You can check the system log to examine any abnormal activities and trace the origins.

Q Why can I not access the Network Camera when I setup some options in the application?

A Since the Network Camera is a "network camera", any incorrect network settings will make it inaccessible. If this happens, restore the factory default settings following the procedures in Appendix A.

C. URL commands of Network Camera

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application,

Network Camera can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists the commands in URL format corresponding to the basic functions of Network

Camera.

Overview

This section specifies the external HTTP based application programming interface.

The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera functions (output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text in italic within angle brackets denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle brackets shall 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, also below.

URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as

<servername>. This 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.
