Installation

In this manual, "User" refers to whoever has access to the Video Server, and

"Administrator" refers to the person who can configure the Video Server and grant user access to the camera.

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.

If you would like to fix the Video Server on the rack, the screw type M3*5mm is suggested to use for fix.

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

Upon powering up, the green LED will blink twice and then the red LED will be steady lighted. While executing startup scripts, both the LEDs will be lighted. After setting up network, the LED will blink green every second and the red-color is always on.

The Video Server will first detect Ethernet. Operating in ether network mode, the LED will blink green-color as heartbeat to indicate alive.

- 7 -

www.vivotek.com

To install in Ethernet

Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the Ethernet cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to blink green-color, go to next paragraph “Software installation”.

Software installation

At the end of the hardware installation, users can use Installation Wizard program included in the product CDROM to find the location of the Video Server. There may be many Video Servers in the local network. Users can differentiate the Video Server with the MAC. The MAC is printed on the labels on the back of the Video Server body. Please refer to the user’s manual of Installation Wizard 2 for detail.

Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next section "Initial access to the Video Server" for necessary checks and configurations.

- 9 -

www.vivotek.com

Initial Access to the Video Server

Check Network Settings

The Video Server 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 Video Server 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 Video Server, 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 Video Server 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 Video Server 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 Video Server 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.

How to Use

A PC with Windows operating system can use the Internet Explorer to connect to the

Video Server. A plug-in will be installed into the IE when it is connected for the first time. A PC with Linux operating system can connect to the Video Server using a browser like Firefox. It needs to install QuickTime first to view streaming.

Authentication

After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the Video Server, a dialogue window pops up to request a username and password. Upon successful authentication, the following figure is displayed.

The foreground is the login window and the background shows the message if authentication fails. The user may check the option box to save the password for future convenience. This option is not available to the Administrator for obvious reason.

- 11 -

www.vivotek.com

Installing plug-in

For the initial access to the Video Server in Windows, the web browser may prompt for permission to install a new plug-in for the Video Server when the Internet Explorer.

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.

Client settings

- 17 -

www.vivotek.com

There are four settings for the client side in IE. The first one is “Stream Options” for users to determine which stream to be streaming. This product supports dual-stream.

Therefore, there are two streams to choose. The second one is “Media Options”. for users to determine which media to be streaming under MPEG-4 mode; and you can check the “Enable Deinterlace” to improve image quality in the high resolution, it may increase the system loading. The third one is “Protocol Options” which allows choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are four protocols choices to optimize your usage – UDP unicast, UDP multicast, TCP and HTTP.

The UDP unicast 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 UDP multicast protocol allows to save the bandwidth of server while serving multiple clients at the same time.

The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol.

The HTTP protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the user don’t need to open specific port to streaming under some network environment.

If no special need is required, UDP unicast protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP multicast → UDP unicast →

TCP → HTTP. After the Video Server is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” 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, save, and return HOME to re-connect.

The fourth one is “Save Options”. User can specify the recording folder, file name prefix and suffix here.

There is only one setting “Stream Options” for the client side in Firefox. User can choose to view stream1 and stream2.

Administrator’s capability

Fine-tuning for Best Performance

Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The four factors,

“Maximum frame rate”, “Intra frame period”, “Constant bit rate”, and “Fix quality” for

MPEG-4 mode and “Maximum frame rate” and “Video quality” for JPEG mode on the

Audio and Video Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance possible.

- 19 -

www.vivotek.com

For Viewing by Mobile Phone

Most 3GPP cell phone supports media streaming with MPEG4 video and GSM-AMR audio. Due to the limitation of the bandwidth for 3GPP, only QCIF (176x120 NTSC,

176x144 PAL) video solution will be supported for cell phone viewing. Please set related video settings first as mentioned when viewing by mobile phone.

- 20 -

www.vivotek.com

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 30. If your network bandwidth is more than 512Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. If the images vary dramatically in your environment, 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 512 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.

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.

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 TCP or HTTP protocol in

“Protocol Options” and choose a more appropriate mode of transmission. The images may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection. The delay will also increase with added number of users.

Somewhere Between Real-time and Clear Images

If you have a broadband network, set “Fix quality” at ”Normal” or better, rather than setting “Constant 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.

There are two lists for permission control: Allow List and Deny List. Only those clients whose IP address is in the Allow List and not in the Deny List can connect to the Video Server for receiving the audio/video streaming.

Both Allow List and Deny List consist of a list of IP ranges. If you want to add a new

IP address range, type the Start IP Address and End IP Address in the text boxes and click on the Add button. If you want to remove an existing IP address range, just select from the pull-down menu and click on the Delete button.

Both the Allow List and Deny List can have 10 entries.

Audio and Video

This product supports dual-stream. It provides two settings for video streams, but only one setting for audio.

Video Settings

“Video title” The text string can be displayed on video

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

“Video orientation” Check “Flip” to vertically rotate the video and “Mirror” to horizontally rotate the video. Check options both if the camera is installed upside down.

“Modulation” Select the video input modulation types, NTSC, PAL, and Auto. After

Change the modulation type, please reboot the video server to make the change take effect.

“Overlay title and time stamp on video and snapshot” Check it the title is shown on video and snapshot.

There are different video quality settings for stream1 and stream2:

“Frame mode” When frame mode is checked, VS7100 converts interlaced pictures to progressive pictures.

“Mode” It can be MPEG-4 or JPEG. If MPEG-4 is selected, it is streamed in RTSP protocol. If JPEG is selected, it is streamed in server push mode.

“Frame Size” Both MPEG-4 and JPEG have three options, including “QCIF (176x120

NTSC and 176x144 PAL)”, “CIF (352x240 NTSC and 352x288 PAL)”, and

“4CIF (704x480 NTSC and 704x576 PAL)”.

“Max frame rate” User can select the maximal refresh frame rate. VS7100 now supports up to 30 fps.

There are two dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment.

“Intra frame period” The interval of intra frame.

“Video quality” VS7100 allows users to adjust the video quality for speed or smoothness. The performance is also a subject to the network bandwidth and the

- 36 -

www.vivotek.com

number of users. Choose “Constant bit rate” if the user wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video quality, choose “Fixed quality” and select the desired bandwidth from “Medium” to “Excellent”. “Medium” quality means the picture has the quickest refresh rate but the worst image quality and “Excellent” quality means the picture has the slowest refresh rate but the best image quality. 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.

In JPEG mode, user can only set “Video quality” to adjust the video performance.

Audio settings

“Mute” To turn off audio.

“Input gain” Modify the gain of the audio input.

“Audio type” Select audio codec “AAC” or “GSM-AMR” and the corresponding bit rate.

B. URL commands of the Video Server

Overview

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

Camera/Video server can be easily integrated through URLs. This document provides the supersets of URL commands V2 for VIVOTEK 7000 series products.

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 (PTZ, 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 within angle brackets denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle brackets shall 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, which is replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.

URL syntax is written with the word “Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the reference 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.

Special notes will be marked in RED .

- 65 -

www.vivotek.com

Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data shown in a box. All data is returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP and line 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

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
