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) 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 DDNS This section explains how to configure the dynamic domain name service for the Network Camera. DDNS is a service that allows your Network Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.

VIVOTEK Here is an example of the Event setting: When completed the settings with steps 1~3 to arrange Schedule, Trigger, and Action of an event, click Save event to enable the settings and click Close to exit the page.
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 to turn it to OFF status or click the Delete button to remove a previously-configured event setting. To remove a server setting from the list, select a server name and click Delete. Note that you cannot remove a server setting when it is applied in an event setting.
VIVOTEK Applications - 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. Follow the steps below to enable motion detection: 1. Click New to add a new motion detection window. 2. In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window. ■ To move and resize the window, drag and drop your mouse on the window. ■ To delete window, click X on the top right corner of the window. 3.
VIVOTEK A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% This motion detection window will also be displayed on the Event Settings page. You can go to Application > Event Settings > Trigger to choose it as a trigger source. Please refer to page 76 for detailed information.
VIVOTEK Applications - DI and DO Advanced Mode Digital input: Select High or Low to define the activate status for the digital input. The Network Camera's current status is shown on the right. Set up the event source as DI on Event > Event settings > Trigger. Please refer to page 90 for detailed information. Applications - Tampering detection This section explains how to set up camera tamper detection.
VIVOTEK Recording > Recording settings Advanced Mode This section explains how to configure the recording settings for the Network Camera. Recording Settings Insert your SD card and click here to test NOTE: Please remember to format your SD card when used for the first time. Please refer to page 111 for detailed information. Recording Settings Click Add to open the recording setting window.
VIVOTEK If you enable adaptive recording and enable time-shift cache stream on Camera A, only when an event is triggered on Camera A will the server record the streaming data in full frame rate; otherwise, it will only request the I frame data during normal monitoring, thus effectively save lots of bandwidths and storage. NOTE: ► To enable adaptive recording, please make sure you’ve set up the trigger sources such as Motion Detection, DI Device, or Manual Trigger.
VIVOTEK 2. Destination You can select the SD card or network storage (NAS) for the recorded video files.

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 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:///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. When querying parameter values, the current parameter values are returned.
VIVOTEK 6. 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 =\r\n [] Only the parameters that you set and are readable will be returned. Example: Set the IP address of server to 192.168.0.123: Request: http://myserver/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi?network_ipaddress=192.168.0.123 Response: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: 33\r\n \r\n network.ipaddress=192.168.0.123\r\n 7.
