One-shot fast configuration via FTP

For quick setup of NetworKam, the administrator can utilize the default CONFIG.INI that may be downloaded from the FTP daemon of NetworKam. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial number of NetworKam is the password for the initial access.

Then administrators only need to modify necessary fields and then upload the file to NetworKam with the file name “CONFIG.INI”. To reduce error in interpretation, it is recommended that the downloaded template CONFIG.INI be modified using the options following each item in the sample below. The file will include seven categories: [SYSTEM], [NETWORK], [VIDEO], [SERIAL1], [SERIAL2], [DIDO], and [DEMO]. The category name in brackets should be in upper case. The item name in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The number zero entry in <user name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”.

Since the password when logging into FTP is not encrypted, it is recommended to use Web instead of FTP to configure the system afterwards. If some parameters other than the network or camera drivers are changed, administrators can set <reset system> to NO to avoid resetting the system. It will automatically return to YES during the next downloading of CONFIG.INI.

A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the format of the field and the bold italic characters are the possible values of each field.

Both models boast a weather-proof IP66 rating, making them suitable for outdoor installations. This feature protects the cameras against rain, dust, and other harsh environmental conditions. The cameras are also powered over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for easy installation without the need for additional power supplies.

In terms of monitoring capabilities, the Vivotek IP2121 and IP2111 support multiple streaming formats, ensuring compatibility with various video management systems (VMS). They come with built-in motion detection capabilities, which can trigger alerts and notifications when suspicious movement is detected.

The user-friendly interface of Vivotek's software ensures that setting up and managing the cameras is straightforward. These features, coupled with the ability to easily integrate with other Vivotek devices, provides a comprehensive surveillance solution.

Overall, the Vivotek IP2121 and IP2111 represent reliable choices for users seeking efficient, high-quality surveillance systems that combine advanced technology with durability, making them perfect for both residential and commercial applications.
