H.264 / MPEG-4 Media Options

H.264/MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264 or MPEG-4.

H.264 / MPEG-4 Protocol Options

H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or 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, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 57.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of 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 without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.

IP8362 specifications

The Vivotek IP8362 is a high-performance IP camera designed primarily for surveillance applications, providing users with cutting-edge technologies and features that enhance security monitoring. This camera is particularly favored for its reliable performance in a variety of conditions, making it an invaluable asset for both commercial and residential environments.

One of the standout features of the IP8362 is its superior image quality. Equipped with a 2-megapixel sensor, it captures high-definition video at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The camera supports H.264 compression, which optimizes video quality while significantly reducing file sizes for easy storage and transmission. This means users can benefit from clearer images without sacrificing bandwidth or storage capacity.

The IP8362 is engineered with advanced low light capability through its built-in IR-cut filter and infrared (IR) illuminators. This technology allows the camera to deliver exceptional image quality even in complete darkness, with infrared night vision capabilities extending up to 20 meters. Such features ensure 24/7 surveillance, providing peace of mind to users.

Moreover, the Vivotek IP8362 incorporates wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, which effectively balances lighting conditions in scenes with both bright and dark areas. This ensures that details are captured accurately in challenging lighting environments, making it ideal for locations where glare and shadows are prevalent.

In terms of connectivity, the IP8362 includes options for both wired and wireless connections. This flexibility enables easy integration into existing networks. Furthermore, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the camera to receive power and data through a single cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

The camera is designed with robustness in mind, featuring an IP66-rated enclosure. This weatherproof design protects against dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor applications. Additionally, the camera supports tamper detection, alerting users to possible interference or vandalism.

For ease of use and management, the Vivotek IP8362 is compatible with Vivotek's VAST software and other third-party video management systems. This allows users to monitor live feeds, record video, and manage multiple cameras from a single interface. Moreover, the camera offers mobile access, ensuring that users can keep an eye on their premises anytime, anywhere.

Overall, the Vivotek IP8362 is a feature-rich IP camera that stands out in the competitive surveillance market. Its high-resolution imaging, advanced technologies, and robust design make it a top choice for effective and reliable surveillance solutions.
