Overview  
VIVOTEK SD7151, equipped with an 18x optical zoom lens, is a high performance day/night  
speed dome network suitable for professional surveillance applications. It is another significant  
addition to VIVOTEK’s high-end network camera portfolio of progressive-series.  
Adopting Sony 18x optical zoom lens plus progressive CCD sensor, this network camera allows  
you not only to have close-up images with exceptional detail from a long distance when enlarged  
but also get crystal-clear, razor-sharp images of fast-moving objects without jagged edges.  
With sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, it provides fast, precise movement with continuous  
360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. You can easily control the lens position by a mouse or a  
joystick to track the object you are interested in and have up to 128 presets for patrolling.  
The day and night function makes this camera ideal for operating under diverse lighting  
conditions. When light conditions turns poor, the IR cut filter will be automatically removed to  
accept IR illumination. Meanwhile, the camera switches itself automatically from color to black  
and white, assuring optimal image quality at all times.  
More advanced features including 3GPP mobile surveillance, two-way audio by SIP protocol,  
and digital I/O for external sensor and alarm make VIVOTEK SD7151 a full-featured speed  
dome. It is the best solution for various enterprise projects such as airports, highways, parking  
lots, and shopping malls, where high-level reliability and precision is always required.

This chapter explains how to select the streaming source, transmission mode and saving options  
at local computer. It is composed of the following four sections: Stream Options, MPEG-4 Media  
Options, MPEG-4 Protocol Options and MP4 Saving Options. When completed with the settings  
on this page, click Save on the page bottom to take effect.  
Stream Options  
The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams. For more information,  
please refer to Video settings on page 39.  
MPEG-4 Media Options  
Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.  
MPEG-4 Protocol Options  
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4  
streaming:  
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network  
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection  
when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each  
unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up  
to ten simultaneous accesses.  
UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients  
requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera  
while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera  
must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP  
Streaming on page 34.

VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions  
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video  
quality. Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of  
the UDP protocol.  
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specific port  
for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow  
streaming data to come through.  
MP4 Saving Options  
Users can record the live video as they are watching it by clicking  
Start MP4 Recording on  
the main page. Here, you can specify the storage destination and file name.  
Folder: Specify a storage destination for the recorded video files.  
File Name Prefix: Enter the text that will be put in front of the video file name.  
Add date and time suffix to the file name: Select this option to add date and time to the file name suffix.

2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the  
frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps,  
25fps and 30fps.  
■ Intra frame period  
Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a  
better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame  
period from the following duration: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds and 4  
seconds.  
■ Video quality  
A complex scene generally produces larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed  
for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is fixed at  
a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performances. The bit rates are selectable at the  
following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps,  
1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps and 4Mbps.  
On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;  
bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video qualities are selectable at the following  
settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and Excellent.

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients,  
producing dynamic effects similar to movies. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same  
image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. And because the media  
contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the clients.  
■ Frame size  
Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are  
selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480.  
■ Maximum frame rate  
This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video  
quality.  
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps,  
2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the  
frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps,  
25fps and 30fps.  
■ Video quality  
The video qualities are selectable at the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and  
Excellent.  
Audio settings  
Mute: Select this option to disable audio transmission from the Network Camera to all clients. Note  
that if mute mode is turned on, no audio data will be transmitted to all clients even though the audio  
transmission is enabled in the Client Settings page. In that case, the following message is displayed.  
Input gain: There are two options for external microphone input gain, 0db and 20db.  
Audio type: Select audio codec AAC or GSM-AMR and the bit rate.  
■ AAC targets at performing good sound quality at the cost of higher bandwidth consumption. The bit  
rates are selectable at the following rates: 16Kbps, 32Kbps, 48Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps and128Kbps.  
■ GSM-ARM is designed to optimize speech quality and requires less bandwidth. The bit rates are  
selectable at the following rates: 4.75Kbps, 5.15Kbps, 5.90Kbps, 6.7Kbps, 7.4Kbps, 7.95Kbps,  
10.2Kbps and 12.2Kbps.

Motion detection  
This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total  
of three motion detection windows can be configured.  
To enable motion detection, follow the steps below:  
1. Click New to add a new motion detection window.  
2. In the Window Name text box, enter a descriptive name for the motion detection window.  
To move and resize the window, drag-drop the window.  
To delete window, click X at top right of the window.  
3. Define the sensitivity to moving objects and the space ratio of all alerted pixels by moving the  
Sensitivity and Percentage slider bar.  
4. Click Save to take effect.  
5. Select Enable motion detection to enable this function.  
For example:  
The Percentage Indicator will rise or fall depending on the image variation. When motions are  
detected by the Network Camera and are judged to exceed the defined threshold, a red bar  
rises. Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red. Photos or videos can  
be captured instantly and configured to send to the remote server (Email, FTP) by utilizing  
this feature as a trigger source. For more information on how to plot an event, please refer to  
Application on page 49.

A green bar indicates that even though motions are detected, the event will not be triggered  
because the image variations are still falling under the defined threshold.  
NOTE  
► How does motion detection work?  
There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: 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. Higher sensitivity  
settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings tend to neglect  
it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera defines the pixels in the purple areas as  
“alerted pixels” (frame D).  
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion  
detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identified as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is  
set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined threshold; therefore, the motion window will  
be outlined in red.  
For applications that require higher security management, it is suggested to set higher sensitivity  
settings and smaller percentage values.

Appendix  
URL Commands of the Network Camera  
Overview  
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/  
Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section specifies the external HTTP  
based application programming interface. The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality  
to request a single image, to control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.) and to get and set internal  
parameter values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.  
Style convention  
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content  
that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle  
brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with  
<servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL  
syntax example, also below.  
URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred  
syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be  
replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.  
adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.  
Syntax:  
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data  
returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line  
Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.  
Return:  
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n  
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box  
with the example.  
Example: request a single snapshot image

General CGI URL syntax and parameters  
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When  
the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly as they  
are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin  
directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.  
Syntax:  
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]  
Example: Setting digital output #1 to active
