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.

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 front red LED will become lighted first and then the device will go through booting process. During the booting process, red, blue and green LEDs will be on. After booted, the Network Camera will standby for getting IP address. After getting IP Address, the green LED will blink every second.

The Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not connect to Ethernet, the Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and connecting process to the wireless access point or station, the red LED of the Network Camera will flash every second. Until the Network Camera connects to the other wireless device, the red LED will become lighted. Operating in either network mode, the green LED will flash every second as heartbeat to indicate alive. If the red LED is blinking, please check the network connections.

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 be steady blue, go to next paragraph "Software installation". If the Ethernet is not available, Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN mode.

To install in wireless LAN

If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any access point with the SSID "default". Once any access point is found, the LED will turn blue to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default settings, install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN configuration.

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.

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.

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 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.

For more detailed usage of the Installation Wizard, please refer to the user's manual of the Installation Wizard included in the product CDROM to find the location of the Network Camera. There may be many Network Cameras in the local network. Users can differentiate the Network Cameras with the serial number. The serial number is printed on the labels on the carton and the back of the Network Camera body. Please refer to the user's manual of Installation Wizard for detail.

Initial Access to the Network Camera

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.

How to Use

Authentication

After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the Network Camera, 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.

*If the administrator (root user) assigns no password, everybody can access the homepage directly.

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. 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 Yes 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.

This button commands the camera to patrol between the preset positions on the Patrol List, which can be modified on the "Camera control page". After one patrol cycle, the camera returns to the original position.

"Stop" This stops the "Auto Pan" command or "Auto Patrol" command.

Client settings

At the initial access to the "Connection type" page in Windows, the web browser will ask for a new plug-in installation, the plug-in being the Network Camera. This plug-in has been registered for certification and can be used to change the parameters at the client's site. The user may click on Yes to install the plug-in. If the web browser does not allow the user to complete the installation, check the Internet security to lower the security level or contact your IT or networking supervisor.

There are two settings for the client side. One is "Media Options" for users to determine the type of media to be streaming. The other is "Protocol Options" which allows choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are four protocols choices to optimize your usage – Multicast, UDP, TCP and HTTP.

Using multicast protocol can reduce traffic by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to several clients. Please enable multicast options first from configuration page. And make sure your router support this technology.

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 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 media can be streaming through http port when the UDP or TCP protocol are blocked.

If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended. Generally speaking, the client's choice will be in the order of UDP → TCP. After the Network Camera 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.

http:///client.html

is the domain name or the original IP address of the Network Camera.

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 three factors, "Maximum frame rate", "Constant bit rate", and "Fix quality" on the Audio and Video Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance possible.

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 176x144 size video is supported for cell phone viewing. Select the “Configure for mobile viewing” option will change the range of other related video settings.

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. 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. Another work-around is to choose "160x120" in the "Size" option for better 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 protocol in "Connection type" 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 "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.

Opening accounts for new users

Audio and Video

General

"Configure for computer viewing" To make quick setting for computer viewing "Configure for mobile viewing" To make quick setting for cell phone viewing

Video Settings

"Video title" The text string can be displayed on video

"Color" Select either for color or monochrome video display.

"Frame Size" There are four options for video sizes. "160x120", "176x144", "320x240", "640x480".

"Power line frequency (for fluorescent light)", the fluorescent light will flash according to the power line frequency that depends on local utility. Change the frequency setting to eliminate uncomfortable flash image when the light source is only fluorescent light.

There are three dependent parameters provided for video performance adjustment.

"key frame interval"

"Max frame rate" This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be combined with the "Video quality" to optimize bandwidth utilization and video quality. Choose "Constant bit rate" If the user wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video quality or choose "Fixed quality" and select the desired bandwidth. 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.

"Maximum Exposure Time" Select a proper maximum exposure time according to the light source of the surroundings. The exposure time are selectable at the following duration: 1/120 second, 1/60 second, 1/30 second, and 1/15 second. Shorter exposure time would accept less light amount.

Video orientation

"Flip" Vertically rotate the video.

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

"White balance" Adjust the value for best color temperature.

Audio settings

"mute" Audio mute

"Audio type" Select audio codec "AAC" or "GSM-AMR" and the bit rate

Image Settings

Image settings

"Contrast", "Hue" and "Saturation" for video compensation. Each field has eleven levels ranged from -5 to + "Brightness" and "Contrast" fields the value 0 indicates auto tuning. The user may press Preview to fine-tune the image. When the image is O.K., press Save to set the image settings. Restore Click on this to recall the original settings without incorporating the changes.

Camera Control

On the Camera Control page, there are two main function control areas:

Camera control area

The pan and tilt functions can be controlled with these buttons. The "Left" button aims the camera to the left; the "Right", "Up", and "Down" buttons aim the camera accordingly. The "Home" button aims the camera to the center.

"Pan speed" This controls the range of the horizontal movement of the camera. The greater the value, the greater angular movement when performing the "Left" or "Right" functions.

"Tilt speed" This controls the range of the vertical movement of the camera. The greater the value, the greater angular movement when performing the "Up" or "Down" functions would be.

"Auto pan/patrol speed" This defines the speed of panning and patrol, the greater the value, the faster the speed.

Preset function area

"Current position", If the User wants to save the current view as a preset location, enter a name for each of the current video view at "current position" and click on the "Add" button. The camera allows for 20 preset locations.

"Preset position" This keeps a list for preset positions. Clicking on the "Delete" button will remove the current selected position from the preset list.

"Set as home" Click on the button will set the current aimed position as home of the Network Camera. Each time the Network Camera reboots or after calibration, it will automatically aim to the defined home position.

"Default home" Restore home position to factory default home by clicking on this button.

"Dwelling time" The value set here specifies:

1. The stop time of each preset location during auto patrol of the Network Camera.
2. The stay time at the most left and the most right positions when the Network Camera is doing auto panning.

"Patrol selection", After the User has saved a list of preset positions, the "Preset locations" box will also keep a list of the preset positions. And once the "Select>" button is clicked, the "Selected location" box will keep a list of the patrol stops. The "Remove" button removes the preset position from the patrol stops. The "UP", "DOWN" buttons adjust the order of the patrol stops. Several preset positions can be added to the patrol stops. The camera can accept up to 40 patrol stops.

"Save" button

The button is valid for "Auto pan/patrol speed", "Enable IR control", "Dwelling time" and "Patrol selections". In other words, after changing these settings, and the "Save" button is not clicked, the new setting of the camera will not take effect.

Email & FTP

Email

When the SMTP server support SMTP authentication, users need to give the valid user name and password to send email via the server.

"Sender email address", the email address of the sender.

There are two external mail server can be configured, primary and secondary email server, The network camera will use primary server as default, and use secondary server when primary server is unreachable.

"Server address" The domain name or IP address of the external email server.

"User name" This granted user name on the external email server.

"Password" This granted password on the external email server.

"Recipient email address" The email address of the recipients for snapshots or log file. Multiple recipients must be separated by semicolon, ';'.

There are two external FTP server can be configured, primary and secondary FTP server, The network camera will use primary server as default, and use secondary server when primary server is unreachable.

"Server address" The domain name or the IP address of the external FTP server. The following user settings must be correctly configured for remote access.

"FTP server port" This can be other than the default port 21. The user can change this value from 1025 to 65535.

"User name" Granted user name on the external FTP server.

"Password" Granted password on the external FTP server.

"Remote folder name" Granted folder on the external FTP server. The string must conform to that of the external FTP server. Some FTP servers cannot accept preceding

slash symbol before the path without virtual path mapping. Refer to the instructions for the external FTP server for details. The folder privilege must be open for upload.

http:///setup/mailftp.html

is the domain name or original IP address of the Network Camera.

Motion detection

"Enable motion detection" Check this option to turn on motion detection.

New Click on this button to add a new window. At most three windows can exist simultaneously. Use the mouse to click, hold, and drag the window frame to resize or the title bar to move. Clicking on the 'x' at the upper right-hand corner of the window to delete the window. Remember to save in order to validate the changes.

Save Click on this button to save the related window settings. A graphic bar will rise or fall depending on the image variation. A green bar means the image variation is under monitoring level and a red bar means the image variation is over monitoring level. When the bar goes red, the detected window will also be outlined in red. Going back to the homepage, the monitored window is hidden but the red frame shows when motion is detected.

"Window Name" The text will show at the top of the window.

"Sensitivity" This sets the endurable difference between two sequential images.

"Percentage" This sets the space ratio of moving objects in the monitoring window. Higher sensitivity and small percentage will allow easier motion detection.

The following figure shows the screen when Save is clicked. The monitoring window has been outlined in red and the graphic bar goes red since the goldfish is moving.

Application settings

The server provides two kinds of applications, snapshot and videoclip. There are two independent snapshot items to set, and they are named as Snapshot #1 and Snapshot #2. The status, schedule, trigger condition, and action of three applications are summarized in the application page. The user can click on Snapshot #1, Snapshot #2 or Video Clip to enter the detail setting page.

Snapshot

"Enable snapshot" Enable/Disable snapshot application.

Weekly schedule

"Sun" \~ "Sat" Select the days of the week to perform the application.

Select "Always" or input the time interval.

Snapshot file name prefix

The prefix name will be added on the file name of the snapshot images.

Send out the snapshot while motion detection

There are three windows for motion detection each can be assigned a name. Select the windows which need to be monitored. If motion detection has not been set up, "undefined" will be shown instead of the window title. If this happens, clicking on "Motion detection" and a note will show to direct the User to the configuration page for motion detection.

"Send pre-event image(s)" The number of pre-snapshots will be captured and send when a condition is triggered.

"Send post-event image(s)" The number of post-snapshots will be captured and send when a condition is triggered.

"Delay second(s) before detecting next motion" Set the time delay before restarting to check on the triggering condition when the current condition is triggered.

Sequential operation

"Snapshot interval : second(s)" Network Camera will send snapshots at the specified intervals to the external server using the method selected below. Remember: This operation is still subject to the conditions set in the weekly schedule.

Method for sending snapshot

"Email" This selects the uploading method following the intervals set above. The snapshot named "prefix-yyyyymmdd-hhmmss.jpg" will be attached in the email.

"FTP" The snapshots will be uploaded to the external FTP server with the file name defined in the next option. This can also be used to refresh the captured images stored in the external web server to build creative homepages.

"FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix" This option sets up the snapshot capture date and time, which can be used to easily differentiate the snapshot file names in the sequential operation. For instance, "prefix-20030102-030405.jpg" means the JPEG image was captured in the year 2003, January the 2^nd , at 3 o'clock, 4 minute, and 5 second. If this suffix is omitted, the file named "video.jpg" on the external FTP server will be refreshed at the specified interval.

Video Clip

The setting for video clip is mostly the same as snapshot.

"Video clip max file size" This indicates the maximum file size for video clip (Kbytes).
