■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is fixed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, and 8Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.

■ Maximum frame rate

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

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 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 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.

■ Video quality

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

NOTE

►Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher quality.

►Converting high-quality video may significantly increase the CPU loading, and you may encounter streaming disconnection or video loss while capturing a complicated scene. In the event of occurance, we suggest you customize a lower video resolution or reduce the frame rate to obtain smooth video.

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.
