Network > SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Advanced Mode

This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It helps network administrators to remotely manage network devices and find, solve network problems with ease.

■ The SNMP consists of the following three key components:

1.Manager: Network-management station (NMS), a server which executes applications that monitor and control managed devices.

2.Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.

3.Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and database.

Before configuring SNMP settings on the this page, please enable your NMS first.

SNMP Configuration

Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2c

Select this option and enter the names of Read/Write community and Read Only community according to your NMS settings.

Enable SNMPv3

This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security level, which allows you to set the Authentication password and the Encryption password.

Security name: According to your NMS settings, choose Read/Write or Read Only and enter the community name.

Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.

Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least 8 characters).

Encryption password: Enter a password for encryption (at least 8 characters).

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.
