"Reset IP address at next boot", the default status is checked to avoid erroneous entries during installation. This can be tedious having to perform software installation whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings, especially the IP address, have been entered correctly, uncheck this option. If this option is disabled, the Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run IP installer to check the IP address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or using the UPnP function provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at Network Neighbors).

General

IP address” This is necessary for network identification.

Subnet mask” This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”.

Default router” This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different subnet. Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.

Primary DNS” The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.

Secondary DNS” Secondary domain name server that backups the Primary DNS.

HTTP

Http port” This can be other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the User must be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance,

PT3114, PT3124 specifications

Vivotek PT3124 and PT3114 are two advanced IP camera models designed for surveillance applications, offering cutting-edge technology to enhance security. Both models deliver high-quality video streams combined with a range of robust features that make them suitable for various environments, from offices and retail spaces to public areas.

The Vivotek PT3124 is equipped with a 2-Megapixel CMOS sensor, providing crystal-clear video resolution up to 1920x1080. It features a powerful motorized zoom lens, allowing users to zoom in on distant subjects without losing detail. The camera also boasts pan and tilt capabilities, offering a full 360-degree horizontal rotation and a vertical tilt of up to 90 degrees. This makes it an ideal choice for monitoring large areas with just a single camera.

In contrast, the Vivotek PT3114, while offering similar build quality and design, focuses on delivering essential surveillance features with a slightly reduced performance. It still provides a high-definition video output but is geared more towards users who need reliable monitoring without the advanced zoom functionalities.

Both models incorporate Vivotek's WDR Pro (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, ensuring high-quality video in challenging lighting conditions. This is particularly useful for environments that experience significant variations in light, allowing users to capture clear images even against backlighting.

Additionally, both the PT3124 and PT3114 are designed with Smart IR technology, which enhances night vision capabilities. This allows for effective monitoring in complete darkness, ensuring that the cameras can capture clear images up to a range of 30 meters in low-light conditions.

In terms of connectivity, both models support Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by allowing the camera to receive power and data through a single cable. They also support various video compression formats like H.265 and H.264, which helps to optimize bandwidth usage without compromising video quality.

The user-friendly web interface and mobile app support make it easy for users to monitor their surveillance feeds from anywhere at any time. With features such as motion detection and alerts, Vivotek PT3124 and PT3114 provide reliable and proactive security management.

In summary, Vivotek PT3124 and PT3114 combine advanced surveillance technology with user-friendly features, making them excellent choices for both commercial and residential security needs. Whether users require advanced functionalities or general monitoring, these models cater to diverse surveillance requirements effectively.
