If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients, producing dynamic effects similar to movies. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. And because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the clients. There are three dependent parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode for video performance adjustment.

Frame size

Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions: 176 x 144, 352 x 240 and 640 x 480.

Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximal refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for a smoother video quality.

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at the following rates: 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps and 30fps.

■ Video quality

The video qualities are selectable at the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and Excellent.

Day/Night settings

Switch to B/W in night mode

Select it to enable the Network Camera to automatically switch to B/W in night mode.

IR cut filter

With a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, up to 15m, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter and turn on the IR illuminators to let IR light into the sensor for low light sensitivity.

■ Auto

The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light. ■ Day mode

In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block the infrared light from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.

■ Night mode

In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor to accept the infrared light, thus helps improve low light sensitivity.

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.
