For Viewing by Mobile Phone

Most 3GPP cell phone supports media streaming with MPEG4 video and GSM-AMR audio. Due to the limitation of the bandwidth for 3GPP, only 176x144 size video is supported for cell phone viewing. Select the “Configure for mobile viewing” option will change the range of other related video settings.

For Best Real-time Video Images

To achieve good real-time visual effect, the network bandwidth should be large enough to allow a transmission rate of greater than 20 image frames per second. If the broadband network is over 1 Mbps, set the “Fix bit rate” to 1000Kbps or 1200Kbps. The maximum frame rate is 30. If your network bandwidth is more than 512Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 30 fps. If the images vary dramatically in your environment, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. If your network bandwidth is below 512 Kbps, set the “Fix bit rate” according to your bandwidth and try to get the best performance by fine-tuning with the “Maximum frame rate”. In a slow network, greater frame rate results in blur images. Another work-around is to choose “160x120” in the “Size” option for better images. Video quality performance will vary somewhat due to the number of users viewing on the network; even when the parameters have initially been finely tuned. Performance will also suffer due to poor connectivity because of the network’s burst constraint.

Only Quality Images Will Do

To have the best video quality, you should set “Fix quality” at “Detailed” or “Excellent” and adjust the “Maximum frame rate” to match your network’s bandwidth. If your network is slow and you receive “broken” pictures, go to the TCP protocol in “Connection type” and choose a more appropriate mode of transmission. The images may suffer a time delay due to a slower connection. The delay will also increase with added number of users.

PT7137 specifications

The Vivotek PT7137 is a cutting-edge IP camera designed for versatile surveillance applications. This model is particularly known for its advanced pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, making it an ideal solution for monitoring large areas with ease and precision.

One of the standout features of the Vivotek PT7137 is its powerful 3-megapixel image sensor, which delivers high-resolution video footage with clarity and detail. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which optimizes video quality while minimizing bandwidth consumption. This feature is crucial for organizations that require consistent video streaming without overwhelming their network resources.

The PT7137 offers an impressive pan range of 340 degrees and a tilt range of 90 degrees, allowing users to cover extensive areas without needing multiple cameras. This flexibility is complemented by its 3x optical zoom function, which provides the ability to zoom in on specific areas for closer inspection. The camera can also be programmed for preset positions, enabling automated scanning of key locations.

Another notable aspect of the Vivotek PT7137 is its IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, which ensure clear night vision surveillance even in complete darkness. The camera can capture high-quality images in low-light conditions, making it highly effective for 24/7 monitoring.

Additionally, the PT7137 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for easy installation and reduced cabling requirements. This technology simplifies the setup process, making it easier to deploy in various environments, whether residential or commercial.

Vivotek's Smart Stream technology further enhances efficiency by enabling users to customize streaming parameters based on network conditions. This flexibility ensures optimized performance and storage efficiency, allowing for longer retention of recorded footage without compromising video quality.

The camera also features a weather-proof housing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. With an operating temperature range of -30 to 50 degrees Celsius, the PT7137 is capable of functioning under various environmental conditions, ensuring reliable performance in diverse settings.

In summary, the Vivotek PT7137 is a robust PTZ camera that combines high-resolution imaging, advanced features, and flexible deployment options. Its intelligent technologies and durable design make it a valuable asset for any surveillance system, providing peace of mind through effective monitoring capabilities.
