Overview
VIVOTEK’s FD8335H network camera features an HD WDR CMOS sensor to cope with
challenging lighting conditions� The WDR feature allows the camera to capture both the dark
and bright parts of an image and combines the differences to generate a highly realistic image
representative of the original scene, enabling it to provide video quality close to the capabilities
of the human eye� This function enables the FD8335H to be widely applicable in high contrast
environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATMs, loading areas, and much more� The
P-iris lens controls the iris with extreme precision; with its built-in stepper motor, it maintains the
iris opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior image clarity and depth of eld
as well as image quality�
Incorporating an IR-cut filter that can be removed automatically at night and built-in IR
illuminators with coverage of up to 20 meters, the FD8335H is an outstanding 24-hour
surveillance solution� The vandal-proof and the IP66-rated housing of the FD8335H enables
users to easily build a cost-effective IP surveillance system without additional accessories� Its
metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism� Meanwhile,
the IP66 integrated housing shields the camera from dust and water, allowing it to be applied in
the harsh weather conditions of outdoor environments�

H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H�264 or 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 trafc 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, please refer to
RTSP Streaming on page 66�
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality� The downside of 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 without needing to open specic ports for
streaming under some network environments� Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow
streaming data through�

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication�
■
The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:
1�
Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�
2�
Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end
users from communicating with the authentication server�
3�
Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides
whether to accept the end user’s access request�
■
VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-
PEAP and EAP-TLS
�
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:
1� Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802�1x, please apply
a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i�e�, your network administrator) which can be
validated by a RADIUS server�
2� Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN� Open the
conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as
the EAP method� In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then
upload related certicate(s).

3� When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting
it to an 802�1x enabled switch� The devices will then start the authentication automatically�
► The authentication process for 802.1x:
1� The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network Camera
(the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server)�
2� A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the
authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certicate, which is then forwarded by the
switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and
returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch�
3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera�
4� Assuming all certicates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to
authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.

Network > QoS (Quality of Service)
Advanced Mode
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 insufcient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be dened as, for
instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc�
The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:
■
The ability to prioritize trafc and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data ow.
■
The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher
reliability and stability on the network�
Requirements for QoS
To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:
■
All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS�
■
The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled�
QoS models
CoS (the VLAN 802�1p model)
IEEE802�1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of
Service� It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0
(lowest) to 7 (highest)� The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing
disciplines to forward the packets�
Below is the setting column for CoS� Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority
for each application (0~7)�
If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets rst.
NOTE
► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required.
The web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect�
► Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery
time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" trafc control and QoS as
"nely-grained" trafc control.
► Although CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since
it is based on L2 protocol�
NOTE:
VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 73
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 eld to the
IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint)� This is a 6-bit field that provides 64
different class IDs� It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop
Behavior (PHB)� The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory,
and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions� Routers at each network node classify packets according
to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth
to reserve for it�
Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint)� Specify the DSCP value for each application
(0~63)�

control value will generate a certain amount of noise�
■
Iris Adjustment: The camera comes with a P-iris lens, which controls the iris opening with
extreme precision by its built-in stepping motor� Via software controls, the lens maintains the iris
opening at an optimal level at all times, resulting in superior sharpness and depth of eld as well
as image quality�
You can manually tune the value of iris opening (aperture size), which can range from 0 (MAX.
short depth of eld) to 50 (MIN, long depth of eld).
• The smallest number, 0 or MAX, means the iris is open as wide as possible (largest amount
of light received with shortest depth of eld)
�
• The largest number, 50, means the iris is narrowed down as much as possible (smallest
amount of light received with longest depth of eld)
�
Once set, the iris will stay at current position as long as the lighting condition allows� When
external lighting conditions exceed an acceptable range, the P-iris mechanism adjusts itself�

Click the stream item to display the detailed information� The maximum frame size will follow your
settings in the above Viewing Window sections�
This Network Camera offers real-time H�264, MPEG-4 (Stream #2) and MJPEG compression standards
(Triple Codec) for real-time viewing� If H.264 / MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via
RTSP protocol. There are several parameters for you to adjust the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices� For example, set a smaller
frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher
bit rate for live viewing on web browsers� Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth�
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality and for recognizing moving objects in the eld of view.
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 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 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps� You can also select
Customize and manually enter a value�
VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 85
The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution�
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better
video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra frame period
from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.
■
Video quality
Constant bit rate:
• Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that
higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission� The bandwidth utilization is
congurable to match a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The
bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps,
128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, 8Mbps,
10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, and 16Mbps� You can also select Customize and manually
enter a value�
• Fixed quality: On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted
with the
same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable� The video quality
can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and
Excellent� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
VIVOTEK
86 - User's Manual
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera sends consecutive JPEG images to the client, producing
a moving effect similar to a filmstrip� Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same
image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� Because the media
contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client� There are three
parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:
■ Frame size
You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices� For example, set a smaller
frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher
bit rate for live viewing on web browsers� Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth�
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality�
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 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 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps� You can also select
Customize
and manually enter a value� The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution�
■ Video quality
The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and
Excellent� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
NOTE
►
Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher
quality�
►
Converting high-quality video may significantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter
streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene� In the event of occurance,
we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain smooth video�

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� Higher sensitivity settings are expected to
detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� When the sensitivity is set
to 70%, the Network Camera denes 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 identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is
set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will
be outlined in red�
For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher
sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�

Appendix
URL Commands for the Network Camera
1. Overview
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network
Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax� This section specifies the external
HTTP-based application programming interface� The HTTP-based camera interface provides the
functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc�), and get and set
internal parameter values� The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built-in Web server�
2. Style Convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, text within angle brackets denotes content that
is to be replaced with either a value or a string� When replacing the text string, the angle brackets
should also 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 further down in the page�
URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced
syntax as shown below. For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and 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:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:
" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box� All data is
returned in HTTP format, i.e., each line is 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
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 119
3. 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, these parameters must be written exactly as
they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories
under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Set digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
