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.

Client Settings
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.
20 - User's Manual

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

Video quality settings for stream 1 / stream 2: You can set up two seperate streams for the Network
Camera for different viewing devices. For example, set the Network Camera to a smaller frame size and
a lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones. Or, set the Network Camera to a larger video size
and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers.
■ Mode
The Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards for real-time viewing: MPEG-4
and MJPEG.
If MPEG-4 is selected, it is streamed in RTSP protocol. There are four dependent parameters provided
in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment.
■ 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.
■ 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.
User's Manual - 43
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
VIVOTEK - A Leading Provider of Multimedia Communication Solutions
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

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.

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:
