  • Page 49 VIVOTEK IR cut filter This Network Camera can automatically adapts to different lighting conditions. ■ Auto mode The Network Camera automatically switch between day mode and night mode by judging the level of ambient light. ■ Day mode In day mode, the camera streams video in color. In day mode, the camera does not switch to night mode regardless of ambient light conditions.
  • Page 50 VIVOTEK IR control Turn on built-in IR illuminator in night mode By default, the built-in IR illuminators are turned on when the camera detects low light condition and enters the night mode. Smart IR When enabled, the camera automatically adjust the IR projection to adjacent objects in order to avoid over-exposure in the night mode.
  • Page 51 VIVOTEK Tips: If there is an object in close proximity, the IR lights reflected back from it can mislead the Smart IR’s calculation of light level. To solve this issue, you can place an “Exposure Exclude” window on an unavoidable object in the Exposure setting window. See page 55 for how to do it.

  • Page 56 VIVOTEK ■ AE Speed Adjustment: This function (Automatic Exposure) applies when you need to monitor fast changing lighting conditions. For example, the camera may need to monitor a highway lane or entrance of a parking area at night where cars passing by with their lights on can bring fast changes in light levels.

  • Page 62 VIVOTEK ■ Smart stream II ■ Dynamic Intra frame period High quality motion codecs, such as H.264, utilize the redundancies between video frames to deliver video streams at a balance of quality and bit rate. The encoding parameters are summarized and illustrated below. The I-frames are completely self-referential and they are largest in size.
  • Page 63 VIVOTEK With the H.264 codec in an optimal scenario and when Dynamic Intra frame is combined with the Smart Stream function, an 80% of bandwidth saving can be achieved compared with using H.264 without enabling these bandwidth-saving features. • Smart codec: Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non- interested areas on a screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed.

The bandwidth utilization is configurable to match a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The bit rates...
  • Page 66 VIVOTEK If the 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.

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.
  • Page 103 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this checkbox to enable the event setting. ■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
  • Page 104 VIVOTEK ■ Camera tampering detection This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the camera detects that is is being tampered with. To enable this function, you need to configure the Tampering Detection option first. Please refer to page 119 for detailed information.
  • Page 105 VIVOTEK Once the triggers are configured, they will be listed under the VADP option. 3. Action Define the actions to be performed by the Network Camera when a trigger is activated. ■ Backup media if the network is disconnected Select this option to backup media file on SD card if the network is disconnected. This function will only be displayed after you set up a network storage (NAS).
  • Page 106 VIVOTEK Add server 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. Click server to open the server setting window.
  • Page 107 VIVOTEK To verify if the email settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window. If successful, you will also receive an email indicating the result. Click Save server to enable the settings. Note that after you configure the first event server, the new event server will automatically display on the Server list.
  • Page 108 VIVOTEK ■ Passive mode Most firewalls do not accept new connections initiated from external requests. If the FTP server supports passive mode, select this option to enable passive mode FTP and allow data transmission to pass through the firewall. The firmware default has the Passive mode checkbox selected.
