H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H264 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

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

IEEE 802.1x
Advanced Mode
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network
access control The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must
support and enable 802.1x settings.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides
authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certicates
between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails,
access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the 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 certicate and decides whether to
accept the end users 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
certicate from a Certicate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) 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).

User's Manual - 41
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.
NOTE
► 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 certificates 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.

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 networkQuality 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)
IEEE8021p 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
► The 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.
► Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it
is based on L2 protocol�
VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 43
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, queuing 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

RTSP port /RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio
RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port
number is set to 554�
The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By
default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558�
The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by
monitoring the Internet trafc volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP
port for audio is set to 5559�
The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535 The RTP port must be an even number
and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number When the RTP
port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly
If the RTP ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:
Multicast settings for stream 1 ~ 4: Click the items to display the detailed configuration information
Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for stream 1 ~ 4�
Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other
hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at
the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address Therefore, enabling multicast can
effectively save Internet bandwidth�
The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535 The multicast RTP port must be an even
number and the multicast RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is
always odd� When the multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly
If the multicast RTP video ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be
displayed:
Multicast TTL [1~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells the router the range a
packet can be forwarded�

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 H264, MPEG-4 and MJEPG 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 four 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
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�
VIVOTEK
64 - User's Manual
■ 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
A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed
for data transmission Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at
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, and 8Mbps You can also select Customize and manually
enter a value�
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�
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends 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 occurence,
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
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
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
110 - User's Manual
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
