A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.
VIVOTEK 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 insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
VIVOTEK QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model) Advanced Mode 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 field 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).
VIVOTEK HTTP Advanced Mode To utilize HTTP authentication, make sure that your have set a password for the Network Camera first; please refer to Security on page 34 for details. Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides two types of security settings for an HTTP transaction: basic and digest.

VIVOTEK Applications Advanced Mode This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to responds to particular situations (event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications of the occurrences of events. In the illustrated on the right, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices.
VIVOTEK Event Settings In the Event Settings column, click Add to open the Event Settings page. On this page, you can arrange three elements -- Trigger, Schedule, and Action to set an event. A total of 3 event settings can be configured. Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. Enable this event: Select this option to enable the event setting. Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
VIVOTEK An event is an action initiated by a user-defined trigger source; it is the causal arrangement of the following three elements: Trigger, Event Schedule, and Action. Trigger This is the cause or stimulus which defines when to trigger the Network Camera. The trigger source can be configured to use the Network Camera’s built-in motion detection mechanism or external digital input devices. There are several choices of trigger sources as shown below.
VIVOTEK ■ Camera tampering detection This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the camera detects that is is being tampered with. To enable this function, you need to configure the Tampering Detection option first. Please refer to page 77 for detailed information. Event Schedule Specify the period for the event. ■ Select days in a the week. ■ Select the recording schedule in 24-hr time format. Action Define the actions to be performed by the Network Camera when a trigger is activated.
VIVOTEK information. ■ Turn on IR illuminators for seconds Select this to turn on IR Illuminators when a trigger is activated every time or only in low light conditions. Specify the length of trigger interval in the text box. To set an event with recorded video or snapshots, it is necessary to configure the server and media settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the media files to) when a trigger is activated.
VIVOTEK When the Event Status is ON, once an event is triggered by motion detection, the Network Camera will automatically send snapshots via e-mail. If you want to stop the event trigger, you can click on the ON button to turn it to OFF status or click Delete to remove the event setting. To remove a server setting from the list, select a server name from the drop-down list and click Delete. Note that only when the server setting is not applied or associated with an event setting can it be deleted.
VIVOTEK Server Settings Click Add Server on the Event Settings page to open the Server Setting page. On this page, you can specify where the notification messages are sent to when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 server settings can be configured.

Select the item to display the detailed configuration options. You can configure either one or all of them.
VIVOTEK FTP: Select to send the media files to an FTP server when a trigger is activated. ■ Server address: Enter the domain name or IP address of the FTP server. ■ Server port By default, the FTP server port is set to 21. It can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535. ■ User name: Enter the login name of the FTP account. ■ Password: Enter the password of the FTP account. ■ FTP folder name Enter the folder where the media file will be placed.
VIVOTEK HTTP: Select to send the media files to an HTTP server when a trigger is activated. ■ URL: Enter the URL of the HTTP server. ■ User name: Enter the user name if necessary. ■ Password: Enter the password if necessary. To verify if the HTTP settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window as below. If successful, you will receive a test.txt file on the HTTP server. Click Save to enable the settings, then click Close to exit the page.
VIVOTEK Media Settings Click Add Media on the Event Settings page to open the Media Settings page. On this page, you can specify the type of media that will be sent when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 media settings can be configured. Media name: Enter a name for the media setting. Media Type There are three choices of media types available: Snapshot, Video Clip, and System log. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options. You can configure either one or all of them.
VIVOTEK Video clip: Select to send video clips when a trigger is activated. ■ Source: The source of video clip, which will be identical to the time shift caching stream. For more information about time shift caching stream, please refer to page 61. ■ Pre-event recording The Network Camera has a buffer area; the camera can temporarily hold data up to a certain limit. Enter a number to decide the duration of recording before a trigger is activated. The upper threshold is 9 seconds.

VIVOTEK 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.
VIVOTEK 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:///cgi-bin/[/...]/.
VIVOTEK http:///cgi-bin/operator/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] http:///cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] Where the should be [_] or [.]. If you do not specify any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only , the parameters of the related group will be returned. client When querying parameter values, the current parameter values are returned.
VIVOTEK Set Server Parameter Values Note: The access right depends on the URL directory. Method: GET/POST Syntax: http:///cgi-bin/anonymous/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=][&return=] http:///cgi-bin/viewer/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=] [&return=] http:///cgi-bin/operator/setparam.
VIVOTEK where is =\r\n [] Only the parameters that you set and are readable will be returned.
