Once installation is complete, the Administrator should proceed to the next section "Initial access to the Network Camera" for necessary checks and configurations.

Initial Access to the Network Camera

Check Network Settings

The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires the Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are to remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to “Network settings” on the System Configuration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the Appendix.

Add Password to prevent Unauthorized Access

The default Administrator’s password is blank and the Network Camera initially will not ask for any password. The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of prudent security practice. Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the Network Camera will ask for the user’s name and password before each access. The Administrator can set up a maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator, such as system configuration, user administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password

is set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The

Vivotek has made its mark in the field of network cameras with the launch of its IP7139 and IP7138 models, which cater to the increasing demand for high-quality surveillance cameras. These two models offer a range of features and advanced technologies that make them suitable for a variety of applications, including home security, commercial monitoring, and even industrial environments.

The Vivotek IP7139 is equipped with a 1/4" CMOS sensor that provides a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels, enabling clear and sharp images. Its ability to capture video at 30 frames per second ensures smooth recordings, which is crucial for monitoring fast-moving objects or individuals. The camera also boasts a built-in infrared filter and infrared LED illumination, allowing for exceptional performance in low-light conditions. This functionality ensures that surveillance can continue around the clock, providing peace of mind at all hours.

On the other hand, the IP7138 model offers similar high-quality imaging capabilities with a slightly different focus. It also utilizes a 1/4" CMOS sensor and supports video resolutions up to 1280x1024 pixels. However, the IP7138 is designed more for indoor applications, making it an ideal choice for small businesses or residential settings. Its compact design ensures it can seamlessly blend into a variety of environments.

Both models feature Vivotek's Smart Stream technology, which optimizes bandwidth usage by efficiently managing data streams. This feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where network resources are limited, as it allows for the efficient transmission of critical video data while minimizing unnecessary load.

In terms of installation and usability, both the IP7139 and IP7138 are remarkably user-friendly. They support Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which simplifies the installation process by enabling power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This streamlines installation and reduces the need for additional cabling.

Further enhancing their adaptability, the cameras come equipped with a built-in web server, allowing users to manage settings and access video feeds remotely via a web browser. Additionally, the IP7139 and IP7138 support various cloud services, making it easier for users to store and access recordings from anywhere.

In conclusion, Vivotek's IP7139 and IP7138 network cameras are packed with advanced features and technologies designed to meet the diverse needs of surveillance users. With high resolution, low-light performance, bandwidth optimization, and ease of installation, these models stand out as reliable choices in the competitive landscape of IP cameras.
