Network > 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.

The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:

The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow.

The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher reliability and stability on the network.

Requirements for QoS

To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:

All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.

The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.

QoS models

CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)

IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates the frame priority level from 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing disciplines to forward the packets.

Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority for each application (0~7).

If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets first.

NOTE:

► A VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. Web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.

►The Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" traffic control and QoS as "finely-grained" traffic control.

Although CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it is based on L2 protocol.

FD8133V, FD8134V specifications

The Vivotek FD8134V and FD8133V are advanced indoor fixed dome network cameras designed for surveillance applications where clarity and durability are essential. Both models incorporate cutting-edge technologies to ensure high-quality video performance and reliable security monitoring.

The FD8134V features a 1.0 Megapixel sensor that delivers crisp, clear images at a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. This camera excels in low-light conditions, thanks to its built-in IR illuminators, which provide effective visibility even in total darkness up to 15 meters. Additionally, it supports H.264 video compression, reducing file sizes while maintaining sharp image quality, which is crucial for bandwidth conservation and storage efficiency.

On the other hand, the FD8133V, while similar in design, has a slightly lower resolution of 1.3 Megapixels, providing a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Despite this, it still employs H.264 compression, ensuring efficient data management. Both models support multiple streaming options, enabling users to view video feeds in real-time from different devices.

The robust design of these cameras is another key feature. They come equipped with a weather-proof housing, making them suitable for various indoor environments. The FD8134V even boasts an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring that it remains operational even in challenging conditions.

A shared characteristic of the FD8134V and FD8133V is their support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by allowing a single cable for both power and data transmission. This not only streamlines deployment but also enhances reliability by reducing potential points of failure.

Both cameras include advanced motion detection capabilities, enabling automatic alerts when activity is detected within the camera’s field of view. This feature can be invaluable for monitoring sensitive areas and responding swiftly to potential security breaches.

Moreover, Vivotek’s user-friendly interface allows for easy configuration and management of the cameras. With options for cloud connectivity and integration with various video management systems, users can seamlessly incorporate these cameras into their existing surveillance setups.

In conclusion, the Vivotek FD8134V and FD8133V offer a combination of high-resolution imaging, advanced technology, and robust construction, making them ideal choices for comprehensive indoor security monitoring. Their flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use provide significant advantages for both residential and commercial applications, ensuring that users can maintain a vigilant watch over their properties.
