Page 4 PTZ is a groundbreaking new technology developed by VIVOTEK for monitoring open areas with extreme detail. This feature is realized through the synergy of a VIVOTEK megapixel fish- eye camera with speed dome camera, and allows users to simultaneously monitor an area overview from a fisheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from a speed dome.
Page 5 VIVOTEK Read Before Use The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The Network Camera is not only a high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a flexible surveillance system. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for its intended use.

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.
Page 109 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 110 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 120 for detailed information.
Page 111 VIVOTEK Add server Click Add server to unfold the server setting window. You can specify where the notification messages are sent when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 server settings can be configured. There are four choices of server types available: Email, FTP, HTTP, and Network storage. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options.
Page 112 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, then click Close to exit the Add server page.
Page 113 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. To verify if the FTP settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window as shown below.
Page 114 VIVOTEK Network storage: Select to send the media files to a network storage location when a trigger is activated. Please refer to NAS server on page 129 for details. Click Save server to enable the settings, then click Close to exit the Add server page.
Page 115 VIVOTEK Add media Add media Click to open the media setting window. You can specify the type of media that will be sent when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 media settings can be configured. There are three choices of media types available: Snapshot, Video Clip, and System log.
Page 116 VIVOTEK ■ Add date and time suffix to the file name. Select this option to add a date/time suffix to the file name. For example: Snapshot_20110320_100341 File name preﬁx Date and time sufﬁx The format is: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS Click Save media to enable the settings, then click Close to exit the Add media page.
Page 117 VIVOTEK ■ Maximum duration Specify the maximum recording duration in seconds. Up to 10 seconds of video can be recorded. For example, if pre-event recording is set to 5 seconds and the maximum duration is set to 10 seconds, the Network Camera continues to record for another 4 seconds after a trigger is activated.
Page 118 VIVOTEK ■ View: Click this button to open a file list window. This function is only for SD card and Network Storage. If you click View button of SD card, a Local storage page will pop up for you to manage recorded files on SD card.
Page 119 VIVOTEK Here is an example of the Event setting: When completed the settings with steps 1~3 to arrange Schedule, Trigger, and Action of an event, click Save event to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page. The following is an example of the Event setting page:...

Page 121 VIVOTEK Applications > Motion detection This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total of five motion detection windows can be configured. Motion Detection Setting 1: For normal situations Motion Detection Setting 2: For special situations Follow the steps below to enable motion detection: 1.
Page 122 VIVOTEK on page 104. A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% If you want to configure specific motion detection settings individually for day/night/schedule operations, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
Page 123 VIVOTEK NOTE: ► How does motion detection work? 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.
Page 124 VIVOTEK Applications > DI and DO Advanced Mode Digital input: Select High or Low as the Normal status for the digital input. Connect the digital input pin of the Network Camera to an external device to detect the current connection status.
Page 125 Auto Tracking Configuration Steps 1. Open a web console with the "Controller" fisheye camera. When in the same subnet, use VIVOTEK's IW2 utility to locate the camera. 2. Access the Panoramic PTZ configuration page through Configuration > Applications > Panoramic PTZ.
Page 126 VIVOTEK 3. On the General settings pane, select both the "Enable Panoramic PTZ" and "Enable Auto tracking" checkboxes. 4. The Auxiliary camera information and the Controller camera account provide configuration options to the partner cameras in case that their IP addresses may be changed after the initial configuration.
Page 127 VIVOTEK 4-5. Enter an Event name, select the "Enable this event" checkbox, select the priority of the event, and if you prefer, configure the period of time during which this event setting will take effect . 4-6. Click Trigger to open the Trigger page.
Page 128 VIVOTEK 4-8. Click Action to open the Action page. 4-9. Configure the action to take by configuring recording to an SD card or a network attached storage. For more information about Event settings, please refer to the speed dome camera's User Manual.
Page 129 VIVOTEK 6. On the Auto tracking pane, you can create a region of interest and configure the triggering conditions for Auto tracking. • By default, the region of interest is the full view. Any objects entering the fisheye's field of view will trigger the tracking.
Page 130 VIVOTEK NOTE: 1. Auto tracking is configured on the fisheye camera, and the fisheye camera commands the speed dome camera to track an intruding object. 2. The speed dome can track one object at a time. 3. If multiple objects are present, the camera tracks the object that is farthest from the camera.
Page 131 VIVOTEK Recording > Recording settings Advanced Mode This section explains how to configure the recording settings for the Network Camera. Recording Settings Insert your SD card and click here to test NOTE: Please remember to format your SD card when used for the first time. Please refer to page 132 for detailed information.
Page 132 VIVOTEK If you enable adaptive recording on Camera A, only when an event is triggered on Camera A will the server record the streaming data in full frame rate; otherwise, it will only request the I frame data during normal monitoring, thus effectively save lots of bandwidths and storage.
Page 133 VIVOTEK 2. Destination You can select the SD card or network storage (NAS) for the recorded video files. NAS server Click Add NAS server to open the server setting window and follow the steps below to set up: 1. Fill in the information for the access to the shared networked storage.
