Overview
VIVOTEK FD8133V(Wired)/34V(PoE) is an easy-to-use fixed dome network camera specifically designed for indoor/outdoor security applications with a compact, stylish vandal-proof exterior.
Equipped with a 1MP sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1280x800 at 30 fps, users need look no further for an all-in-one camera capable of capturing high quality, high resolution video.
The FD8133V/34V supports the industry-standard H.264 compression technology, drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG compatibility also included, video streams can also be transmitted in any of these formats for versatile applications. The streams can also be individually configured to meet different constraints, thereby further reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Users can thus receive multiple streams simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms.
Its IP66-rated housing protects the camera body against rain and dust and ensures operation under poor weather conditions. Furthermore, the metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism. Also included are a number of advanced features standard on VIVOTEK cameras, including tamper detection, MicroSD/SDHC card slot, 802.3af compliant
PoE (FD8134V), removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, and VIVOTEK’s 32-channel recording software. With all of these capabilities, the FD8133V/34V presents the best value in IP surveillance for indoor/outdoor applications.

H.264 Protocol Options
H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of 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 traffic 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
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 specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.

Select this to turn on the built-in IR illuminators (effective range up to 15 meters) when the camera detects low light condition and enters the night mode.
Smart IR
When enabled, the camera automatically adjusts the IR projection to adjacent objects in order to avoid over-exposure in the night mode.
The Smart IR function is more beneficial when the spot of intrusions or an object of your interest is close to the lens and the IR lights. For example, if an intruder has a chance of getting near the range of 3 meters, Smart IR can effectively reduce the over-exposure. For a surveillance area at a greater distance, e.g., 5 meters, the Smart IR function may not bring as significant benefits as in close range.

IR cut filter
With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let IR light into the sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode
The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.
■ Day mode
In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter 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 filter 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 filter when a Digital Input is triggerred.
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified schedule. Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in 24-hour clock time. By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00.

Measurement Window: This function allows user to set measurement window(s) for low light compesation.
■ Full view: Calculate the full range of view and offer appropriate light compesation.
■ Custom: This option allows you to manually add a specific window as a measuring area. The measuring window refers to “weighted window“ where the lighting condition within the particular area is taken into account. Camera firmware then adopts the weighted averages method to calculate the value.
Include X

A total of 9 inclusive and exclusive windows can be created for a view. You can create Exclude windows for the camera to ignore the lighting condition of certain areas.
Note that the title pane of the Include/Exclude windows is not included into the calculation. The inclusive and exclusive windows can be placed one on top of another. The inclusive windows have a higher priority. You can overlap these windows, and, if you place an exclusive window within a larger inclusive window, the exclusive part of the overlapped windows will be deducted from the inclusive 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.
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 semi-circular 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.
■ Flickerless: This function helps avoid the flickering on images because of the fast shutter movement and the inconsistency between power line frequency (50 or 60Hz) and exposure time.
When selected, the exposure time will be forced to stay longer than 1/120 second. For cameras that come with fixed iris lens, setting the exposure time to longer than 1/120 second may introduce too much lights to the lens. Users can use this option to observe whether the result of q long exposure time is satisfactory.
User's Manual - 49
VIVOTEK
■ Exposure time: The Exposure time allows tuning for more or less light to enter the lens. The configurable value ranges from 1/32000 to 1/5 of a second. An optimum shutter speed should be maintained as long as the light level of the scene permits.
■ Gain control: Tune the slider bar to set the Gain Control to the best image quality. Higher gain control value will generate a certain amount of noise, and that the gain control, lighting levels, and picture performance are closely related.
Note that you can split the round pointers on the Exposure time and Gain control slide bars into two halves and drag them on the bars to designate a range of values in which firmware can automatically adapt to. Firmware will then automatically tune the Gain, Exposure time, and Iris opening within the ranges you specified.

This Network Camera offers real-time H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression standards
(Triple 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 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 field 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. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.
54 - User's Manual
VIVOTEK
The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often for firmware 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 configurable 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, and 8Mbps
. 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 40Mbps. 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 configurable bit rate starts from 1Mbps to 40Mbps.
You may also manually enter a bit rate number by selecting the Customized option.
User's Manual - 55
VIVOTEK
If
JPEG
mode is selected, the Network Camera sends consecutive 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.
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. 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 configuration method is identical to that for MPEG4 and H.264.
For Constant Bit Rate and other settings, refer to the previous page for details.
NOTE
NOTE:
► Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so 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.

Network > QoS (Quality of Service)
Advanced Mode
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 insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:
■
The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow.
■
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 level, the switch will handle video packets first.
NOTE:
► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.
►The Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" traffic control and QoS as "finely-grained" traffic 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.
User's Manual - 71
VIVOTEK
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 field 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).

Advanced Mode
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 certificates between client and server are verified, 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:
Supplicant
(Network Camera)
Authenticator
(Network Switch)
Authentication Server
(RADIUS Server)
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 configuration 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 certificate(s).
User's Manual - 85
VIVOTEK
3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.
NOTE:
► The authentication process for 802.1x:
1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates 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 certificate, 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 certificate 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-configured port.

Event > Event settings
Advanced Mode
This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to responds to particular situations
(event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices. When an event is triggered, you can specify what type of action that will be performed. You can configure the Network
Camera to send snapshots or videos to your email address or FTP site.
Event
To configure an event with reactive measures such as recording video or snapshots, it is necessary to configure the server and media settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the media files to) when a trigger is activated. An event is an action initiated by a user-defined trigger source . In the Event column, click Add to open the event settings window. Here you can arrange three elements -- Schedule, Trigger, and Action to set an event. A total of 3 event settings can be configured.

► How does motion detection work?
A C
B D
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 defines 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 identified as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined 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.

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

3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters
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

[&<parameter>…] http://<servername>/cgi-bin/ admin /getparam.cgi?[<parameter>]
[&<parameter>…]
Where the <parameter> should be <group>[_<name>]. If you do not specify any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only <group>, the parameters of the related group will be returned.
When querying parameter values, the current parameter values are returned.
A successful control request returns parameter pairs as follows:
Return:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Context-Length: <length>\r\n
\r\n
<parameter pair>
where <parameter pair> is

recommended to set this parameter when change a service port to the port occupied by another service currently. Otherwise, the service may fail.
Stopped service will auto-start after changing port settings.
