VIVOTEK

Overview

VIVOTEK FD8363 is a professional outdoor dome network camera, offering 2-Megapixel or 1080p Full HD resolution with superb image quality up to 30 fps. As with other true day/ night models, the camera comes with a removable IR-cut filter and 15 meter IR illuminators to provide great clarity and contrast 24 hours a day. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open outdoor areas such as building entrances, airports, or applications requiring accurate identification.

For installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera can be difficult due to the image detail. Thus, VIVOTEK has introduced the revolutionary Smart Focus System, including Easy Focus Button and Remote Focus to make installation and image adjustment easier. VIVOTEK has adopted lenses with a built-in stepper motor that the installer can use to remotely control the focal length and precisely adjust the camera focus, offering hassle-free installation and maintenance.

The IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions, while its metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism.

With other advanced features such as WDR Enhanced, tamper detection, 802.3af compliant

PoE, microSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for on-board storage, video cropping, and e-PTZ functionality, the FD8363 provides the most robust solution suitable for demanding outdoor environments.

H.264 / MPEG-4 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

RTSP Streaming on page 68.

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.

Security > IEEE 802.1X

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 - 57

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.

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

NOTE:

► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. The web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.

► Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" 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.

74 - User's Manual

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).

Smart IR

When enabled, the camera automatically adjust 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.

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.

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 80 seconds. If not, the auto focus scan will only go through the length where optimal focus may occur, and that takes about 12 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 Perform auto 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 is indicated by the densest color area on the color bar. Use the "+" or "-" button to fine-tune the focus if you are not satisfied 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.

■ Stream 4: Stream 4 does not support the "Region of Interest" configuration.

Click on Viewing Window to open the viewing region settings page. On this page, you can set the

Region of Interest and the Output Frame Size for stream 1 ~ 3.

Please follow the steps below to set up those settings for a stream:

1. Select a stream for which you want to set up the viewing region.

2. Select a Region of Interest from the drop-down list. The floating frame, the same as the one in the

Gloabl View window on the home page, will resize accordingly. If you want to set up a customized viewing region, you can also resize and drag the floating frame to a desired position with your mouse.

3. Choose a proper Output Frame Size from the drop-down list according to the size of your monitoring device.

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, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression standards (Triple

Codec) for real-time viewing. If

H.264 / MPEG-4

mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are several parameters for you to adjust the video performance:

■ Frame size

You can set up different video 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 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.

88 - User's Manual

VIVOTEK

The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.

Video quality

Constant bit rate:

• 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,

8Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, and 16Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. This bit rate restriction method is particularly useful when planning a configuration consisting of numerous cameras where video streams can produce high demands both on network bandwidth and storage space. For example, storing a 6Mbps stream for 24 hours requires a 63GB disk space. The Network Camera will strive to deliver video streams within the bit rate limitation you impose. If Frame Rate Priority is selected, the Network Camera will try to maintain the frame rate per second performance, while image quality will be compromised.

• 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. The image quality will then be determined by the compression rate. For example, a lower quality means a higher compression rate. The higher the compression rate, the higher the possibility of image distortion, etc. You can also select Customize and manually enter a logical value from 0 to 51.

User's Manual - 89

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

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.

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.

NOTE

NOTE:

► 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.

► To enable adaptive recording, please make sure you’ve set up the trigger source such as Motion

Detection, DI Device, or Manual Trigger.

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

122 - User's Manual

VIVOTEK

3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters

CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the

CGI request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory.

The file extension .cgi is required.

Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>

[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]

Example: Set digital output #1 to active http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1

DESCRIPTION

An 32-bit integer, each bit can be set separately as follows:

Bit 0 => HTTP service;

Bit 1=> HTTPS service;

Bit 2=> FTP service;

Bit 3 => Two way audio and RTSP Streaming service;

6/6

To stop service before changing its port settings.

It’s 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.

Ex:

Change HTTP port from 80 to 5556, and change

RTP port for video from 5556 to 20480.

Then, set preprocess=9 to stop both service first.

Fixed Dome

Network Camera

FD8363

Full HD • Smart Focus System •

Smart IR • IP66 • Vandal-proof

VIVOTEK FD8363 is a professional outdoor dome network camera, offering 2-Megapixel or 1080p Full HD resolution with superb image quality up to 30 fps. As with other true day/night models, the camera comes with a removable IR-cut filter and 15-meter IR illuminators to provide great clarity 24 hours a day. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open outdoor areas such as building entrances, airports, or applications requiring accurate identification.

For installers, properly adjusting the focus of a megapixel network camera can be difficult due to the image detail. Thus, VIVOTEK has introduced the revolutionary Smart Focus System, including Easy Focus Button and Remote Focus to make installation and image adjustment easier. VIVOTEK has adopted lenses with a built-in stepper motor that the installer can use to remotely control the focal length and precisely adjust the camera focus, offering hassle-free installation and maintenance.

The IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions, while its metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism. With other advanced features such as WDR enhanced, tamper detection,

802.3af compliant PoE, microSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for on-board storage, video cropping, and e-PTZ functionality, the FD8363 provides the most robust solution suitable for demanding outdoor environments.
