MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of 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 traffic 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 to ten simultaneous accesses.

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 while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP Streaming on page 34.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specific port for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data to come through.

One of the standout features of the FD7132 is its 1-megapixel resolution, which provides clear and detailed images at a maximum resolution of 1280x800 pixels. This allows users to monitor their environments with excellent clarity, ensuring that important details are captured, such as faces or license plates.

The camera is equipped with a fixed lens that offers a wide field of view, enabling comprehensive coverage of large areas. This is particularly beneficial for environments where space monitoring is critical. Moreover, the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology allows the FD7132 to perform optimally in challenging lighting conditions, effectively balancing bright and dark areas in a scene to produce clear images even in high-contrast situations.

Another significant aspect of the FD7132 is its Smart Streaming technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage use without compromising video quality. This feature allows users to configure their bandwidth usage according to their specific needs, thus extending the capabilities of existing network infrastructure.

The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This capability eliminates the need for additional power outlets in areas where installation space is limited.

Security is paramount in surveillance devices, and the Vivotek FD7132 does not disappoint. It includes features such as built-in security mechanisms, ensuring the protection of data transmitted over the network. The camera also supports multiple streaming formats, enhancing interoperability with various video management systems.

Overall, the Vivotek FD7132 is characterized by its user-friendly design, high video quality, and advanced features that cater to the evolving requirements of modern security and surveillance applications. Whether for small businesses or larger enterprises, this network camera offers reliable performance and peace of mind through effective monitoring and surveillance capabilities.
