VIVOTEK Network > QoS (Quality of Service) 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.
Page 95
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.
VIVOTEK Network > SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera.

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. Video 13:59:05 2015/01/14 Motion Detection Setting 1: For normal situations Motion Detection Setting 2:...
Page 127
VIVOTEK on page 111. 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 128
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.
VIVOTEK Applications > DI and DO 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. Digital output: Select Grounded or Open to define the normal status for the digital output. Connect the digital output pin of the Network Camera to an external device to determine the current status.
VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/ window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
Page 131
VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1. Click on the Enable this profile checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively indicated by a fluctuating yellow wave diagram.
