Network > SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Advanced Mode

This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It helps network administrators to remotely manage network devices and find, solve network problems with ease.

■ The SNMP consists of the following three key components:

1.Manager: Network-management station (NMS), a server which executes applications that monitor and control managed devices.

2.Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.

3.Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and database.

Before configuring SNMP settings on the this page, please enable your NMS first.

SNMP Configuration

Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2c

Select this option and enter the names of Read/Write community and Read Only community according to your NMS settings.

Enable SNMPv3

This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security level, which allows you to set the Authentication password and the Encryption password.

■Security name: According to your NMS settings, choose Read/Write or Read Only and enter the community name.

■Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.

■Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least 8 characters).

■Encryption password: Enter a password for encryption (at least 8 characters).

The Vivotek FD-8372 is a high-performance network camera designed to meet a wide range of surveillance needs in both indoor and outdoor environments. This sleek, compact device combines advanced technologies with user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for businesses and security professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the FD-8372 is its 2-Megapixel resolution, providing exceptional image quality and clarity for effective monitoring. This network camera supports H.264 and MJPEG compression formats, enabling efficient bandwidth usage and storage without compromising on image quality. With its progressive scan CMOS sensor, users can expect detailed and vibrant images even in varying lighting conditions.

Another significant aspect of the FD-8372 is its Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. This feature allows the camera to capture clear images in environments with high contrast lighting, such as areas with both bright sunlight and deep shadows. The result is balanced imaging that enhances visibility and helps reduce the likelihood of blind spots during surveillance.

The FD-8372 is equipped with a built-in Infrared (IR) array that enables effective night vision capabilities. This functionality ensures that the camera can monitor areas in complete darkness, providing visibility up to 30 meters. The IR-cut filter also enhances image quality during the day, ensuring accurate color reproduction.

Additionally, the FD-8372 features PoE (Power over Ethernet) support, simplifying installation by allowing the camera to receive power and network connectivity through a single cable. This feature is particularly useful in locations where power outlets are scarce or difficult to access.

For enhanced reliability and ease of use, the FD-8372 comes with a weather-proof and vandal-proof housing, rated to IP66 standards. This ensures that the camera can withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor installation. The device also supports multiple streaming profiles, accommodating various user needs and allowing for simultaneous viewing on different devices.

The intuitive web interface and compatibility with Vivotek's VAST software platform further streamline setup and management. Users can easily access, control, and configure the camera remotely, enhancing the overall surveillance experience.

Lastly, the FD-8372 is designed with a focus on security, featuring built-in security mechanisms such as password protection, IP address filtering, and HTTPS encryption to safeguard sensitive surveillance data. Overall, the Vivotek FD-8372 is a robust, versatile solution for those seeking to enhance their security infrastructure with cutting-edge technology and reliable performance.
