Installation  
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 device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs  
will blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off  
and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If  
self-test fails the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for  
troubleshooting.  
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.  
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 green after

self-test, 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  
green to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default  
settings, install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN  
configuration.  
The Network Camera provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and  
one relay switch for device control. Pin 1 and Pin 2 can be connected to an external  
sensor device and the state of voltage can be monitored from the initial state 'LOW'.  
The relay switches Pin 3 and Pin 4 can be used to turn on or off an external device.  
Consult with the dealer of the peripherals for correct installation.

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

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

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 Vivotek’s new 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.

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.

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  
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 site. One is “Media Option” for the User to  
determine if audio should be muted. The other is “Protocol Option” which allows  
choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are three protocol  
choices to optimize your usage - UDP, TCP and HTTP.  
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 produce 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 must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall and it only  
allows HTTP Port (80) to be opened. In this mode, audio will not be sent and only video  
is operational. If no special need is required, UDP protocol is recommended.  
Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP TCP HTTP.  
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.  
<Network Camera> is the domain name or the original IP address of the Network  
Camera.

Administrator’s Capabilities  
Fine-tuning for Best Performance  
There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the  
Network Camera. 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, Fix bit rate, and “Fix quality” on the Video  
Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performance  
possible.  
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, or  
set “Fix quality” at the highest quality. The maximum frame rate is 25 fps in a 50Hz  
- 15 -  
T: 886-2-82455282  
F: 886-2-82455532  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
system and 30 fps in a 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps,  
you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate  
to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, 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 384 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  
“Half” in the “Size” option for better images, or “Halfx2” for a larger image view. 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.  
Viewing Double size image  
The Network Camera not only provide standard CIF/SIF format video, but also provide  
4CIF/4SIF format video. For selecting “Double” video size, the video from the  
Network Camera can provide more details, but less frame-rate (up to 10 frames/sec).

Besides, “Normal x 2” selection will do 200% digital zoom for both the width and  
height of the video.

More flexible options for viewers  
The first option allows anyone uses “demo” as the user name to view without  
password. The Administrator can also decide if more viewers are allowed to watch the  
video if the viewers exceed the limit. The overloaded viewers will have snapshot mode  
instead.  
Building a Multimedia Web Attraction Site  
Demo on Multiple Sites – Mid-Scale Service  
The Network Camera can allow ten visitors to view on-line simultaneously. After  
Installation, focus the Network Camera on any object you wish to share, and tell the  
visitors to type in the web browser address. Caution: You may want to maintain your  
visitor’s list in the security configuration page to block out unexpected visitors.  
Product Demo for e-Business – Large-Scale Service  
If the number of visitors has exceeded the limit, the Network Camera can allow the  
"overload" viewers to see the snapshots in JPEG mode, on the homepage. These are  
still images and will be refreshed periodically and automatically. It needs a script  
function supported by the web browser.  
1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,

2. Click on “Security” in the left column,  
3. Go to the bottom of the page and check off on “Allow more viewers with snapshot  
mode,  
4. Set the snapshot interval to refresh the still image automatically. The longer the  
snapshot interval, the better the snapshot mode works for multiple viewers.  
If you want to expand to allow in more viewers, the host server should be able to  
handle large network traffic, which must handle the picture refreshing from the  
Network Camera.  
If the web server space has FTP service, set the Network Camera up as an FTP client to  
upload the pictures. The access to the Network Camera will be independent of the  
number of viewers and the picture quality will remain constant.  
1. Click on “Configuration” on the homepage,  
2. Click on “Network” in the left column,  
3. Fill in the FTP related settings including server, user name and password, as well as  
the upload path if it is specified by the web space, and click on ”Save” button.

7. Unselect "FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix" as the upload method and  
click on "Save",  
8. The image file uploaded to the web space is named “video.jpg. Check if the file is  
successfully uploaded to the correct folder,  
9. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file uploaded  
via FTP in advance.  
If the web space has no FTP service  
An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from the  
Network Camera. It is most efficient if using a free web space provider as the FTP  
service may be limiting.  
1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage as the following example. The URL of image is  
according to your Network Camera. Define the refresh interval according to your  
network bandwidth for best result. If the refresh rate is too fast and there is a large  
number of visitors, this may overload the Network Camera and slows the response.

Building a Security Application  
The  
Administrator  
can  
combine options on the  
application page to perform  
many  
applications. There are two  
trigger sources coming  
useful  
security  
from attached devices, such  
as for motion detection.  
There are also two kinds of  
actions responding to such  
events, including uploading  
snapshots over the Internet  
and driving other attached  
devices. To upload the  
snapshots, the User can  
choose either email or FTP  
according to user’s needs. Both e-mail and FTP use the network settings on the  
network page. Refer to the definition section for detail configuration.  
1. Click on “Configuration” on  
homepage,  
2. Click on “Application” in the  
left column,  
3. Check the weekdays as you  
need and give the period of  
"Snapshots begin" time and  
"Snapshots end" time to  
monitor  
the

Snapshot every second(s)” The 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.  
Send snapshots by email” This selects the uploading method following the intervals  
set above. The snapshot named “video.jpg” will be attached in the email with the  
subject title “Periodic snapshots.  
Send snapshots by 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  
either  
the  
sequential  
or  
event  
operation.  
For  
instance,  
“video@20030102030405.jpg” means the JPEG image was captured in the year 2003,  
January the 2nd, 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.

Remote Controller  
Models PT3117 and PT3127 both provide a remote controller to command the camera’s  
pan/tilt and other functions. The direction control part provides the function as on the  
main web page.  
The Pan/Patrol/Stop functions are also the same as on the main web page.

Auto Patrol” This button commands the camera to patrol between the preset  
positions on the patrol list that was set on the “Camera control page. After each patrol  
cycle, the camera stops at the original staring position. “Auto Pan” This button  
commands the camera to pan from the current position to the left most or right most  
and back. After panning both horizontal end positions, the camera would stop at the  
original starting position.  
Center” This calibrates the camera’s position to aim at the center as the camera boots  
up.  
Stop” This stops the auto movements (auto pan & auto patrol) of the camera.

Appendix  
A. Troubleshooting  
Status LED  
After powering up, the Network Camera performs a self-diagnostic to detect any  
hardware defects. The following table lists the LED patterns in general. In case of any  
fatal error, the LED will blink in a pattern other than those below.  
Condition  
LED color  
During self-diagnostic after power on  
Ethernet signal is lost

After network is setup  
Any hardware failure  
Blink in interchanged green and red  
Red LED is blinking till Ethernet is detected  
Steady green till IP address is confirmed  
Blink green every second  
Other patterns  
Reset and Restore  
At the left side of the camera there is a button  
hidden in the pinhole as shown in the picture. It is  
used to reset the system or restore the factory  
default settings. Sometimes resetting the system  
sets the system back to normal state. If the  
system problems remain after reset, restore the  
factory settings and install again.  
RESET: Poke the wrench to click on the button.  
RESTORE: 1. Poke the wrench to press on the  
button continuously.  
2. Wait for self-diagnostic to run twice.  
Restoring the factory defaults  
3. Withdraw the wrench as soon as the second  
self-diagnostic starts.

B. Frequently Asked Questions  
Q What if I forget my password?  
A After the Administrator's password has been assigned, every access to the Network  
Camera needs authentication. If you are one of the managed users, you have to ask  
the Administrator for the password. If you are the Administrator, there is no way to  
recover the root password except by restoring the factory default settings. Refer to  
Appendix A for the procedures.  
Q Why can I not watch video from the Network Camera after it is authenticated?  
A There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem,  
1. If you have just installed the Network Camera and are unable to watch the video,  
check if the heartbeat LED is blinking or the lens cap is off. If the heartbeat LED is dim,  
perform the software installation again.  
2. If the Network Camera is well installed and you are accessing the Network Camera  
for the first time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer  
to allow installation of plug-ins.  
3. If the problem still exists after adjusting, and the message over the image window  
is showing "connecting", the network traffic may be too crowded.  
Q What is the plug-in for?  
A The plug-in provided by the Network Camera is used to display motion pictures and  
audio in Internet Explorer. If your system does not allow installation of any plug-in  
software, the security level of the web browser may need to be lowered. It is  
recommended that you consult your network supervisors in your office regarding  
adjustment of the security level. Software installation may be regulated in some  
offices.  
Q Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?  
A The timestamp is based on the system time of the Network Camera. It is maintained  
by a real-time clock inside and can be automatically synchronized with the time-server  
if the Network Camera is connected to the Internet and the function is enabled.  
Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.

Q Can I install it on ceiling?  
A Yes. There are flip and mirror options in the video configuration page to correct the  
images for upside down installation.  
Q The image is not clear enough.  
A Rotate the lens to adjust the focus after the Network Camera has been installed in  
the proper position. The image settings and white balance can be fine tuned to achieve  
the best visual effect. Also notice the power line frequency must match the local utility  
to synchronize and minimize the effect of flickering florescent lights.  
Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?  
A Some anti-virus programs filter the received web content. It takes time to perform  
data examination and affect the streaming application such as that of the Network  
Camera. However, it only affects the HTP mode of the Network Camera. If the network  
allows only HTTP mode, disable the web filtering function of the anti-virus program  
temporarily. During this period, the User should be aware of the risk of malicious  
network activity.  
Q I have opened motion detection windows but it cannot work.  
A If the motion detection windows are set up and names are given, check to see if the  
function is checked on the first line. While it is enabled, adjust the sensitivity and  
percentage to monitor the level indicator for best results.  
Q I cannot hear any sound while watching.  
A If there is "V_ONLY" shown above the image, click on connection type to uncheck  
"Disable audio". If there is "V" shown instead of "AV", the sound card in your PC may  
not have been properly installed. If "AV" is shown, check the audio source of the  
Network Camera, make sure you are using internal or external microphone.  
Q How many users are allowed to watch the Network Camera at the same time?  
A Too many users requesting the real-time multimedia content will jam the network.  
For best results, the Network Camera is designed to accommodate a maximum of ten  
(10) users to watch and listen at the same time. For a larger number of users, it is  
recommended to build another web server to host the retrieved contents from the  
Network Camera.

Q How fast is the video rate of the Network Camera?  
A The MPEG4 codec engine can process up to 30 frames per second internally. However,  
the total performance is subject to many coefficients such as:  
1. Network throughput,  
2. Bandwidth share,  
3. Number of users,  
4. The complicated/detailed objects and movement in view,  
5. The power of your PC or notebook computer that is responsible for displaying  
images.  
In general, the transfer rate in a general local network environment can achieve over  
200 kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures per second from a  
regular environment.  
Q How can I keep the Network Camera as private as possible?  
A The Network Camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible  
interfaces. The user authentication and special confirmation in installation can keep  
the Network Camera from unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to  
a non-public number. The demo account is good to separate guests from normal users  
and thus you can easily block the guests anytime. You can check the system log to  
examine any abnormal activities and trace the origins.  
Q Why can I not access the Network Camera when I set up some options in the  
application?  
A Since the Network Camera is a "network camera", any incorrect network settings will  
make it inaccessible. If this happens, restore the factory default settings following the  
procedures in Appendix A.
