3.WPA-PSK: Use WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) pre-shared key.

More secure than WEP, the Wi-Fi Alliance developed WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) in 2003 to address WEP’s weaknesses. Improvements included TKIP, which changes the encryption key for each data transmission.

Algorithm: Choose one of the following algorithms for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK modes.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol): A security protocol used in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP is a “wrapper” that goes around the existing WEP encryption. TKIP is comprised of the same encryption engine and RC4 algorithm defined for WEP; however, the key used for encryption in TKIP is 128 bits long. This solves the first problem of WEP: a short key length. (From Wikipedia)

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): In cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government.

As of 2006, AES is one of the most popular algorithms used in symmetric key cryptography. (From Wikipedia)

Pre-shared Key: Enter a key in ASCII format. The length of the key can be between 8 to 63 characters.

4.WPA2-PSK: Use WPA2 pre-shared key.

This advanced protocol, certified through Wi-Fi Alliance’s WPA2 program, implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces a new AES-based algorithm, CCMP, that is considered fully secure. From March 13, 2006, WPA2 certification is mandatory for all new devices wishing to be certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance as “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED.” (From Wikipedia)

NOTE:

After wireless configurations are completed, click Save and the camera will reboot. Wait for the live image ito be reloaded to your browser. For VIVOTEK 81xx-series cameras, you have to unplug the power and Ethernet cables from the camera; then re-plug the power cable to the camera. The camera will switch to wireless mode.

Some invalid settings may cause the system to fail to respond. Change the configuration settings only if necessary and consult with your network supervisor or experienced users for correct settings. Once the system has lost contact, please refer to Maintenance on page 93 for reset and restore procedures.

This ultra-clear resolution is particularly beneficial for environments that require precise surveillance, such as banks, retail stores, and public spaces.

In terms of versatility, the PZ8111 comes equipped with pan and tilt functionalities. This allows for a broader coverage area, meaning fewer cameras are needed to monitor large spaces effectively. The pan range extends up to 355 degrees, while the tilt range covers 90 degrees, enabling users to adjust the camera’s view dynamically. These features ensure that no area is left uncovered, significantly enhancing the overall efficiency of the surveillance system.

The PZ8111 also incorporates advanced day/night capabilities, including infrared illumination. This technology ensures that the camera can capture high-quality footage even in low-light conditions, providing 24/7 security monitoring. The automatic switch between color and black-and-white modes is seamless, allowing for continuous observation without compromising image clarity.

Another significant aspect of the Vivotek PZ8111 is its integration with modern network infrastructure. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by allowing both power and data to be transmitted through a single cable. This feature not only reduces installation costs but also enhances system reliability.

Furthermore, the PZ8111 is equipped with intelligent video analytics features. These tools include motion detection, tampering detection, and even people counting functions. Such capabilities empower users to set specific alerts for unusual activities, ensuring prompt responses in critical situations.

Additionally, the PZ8111 supports various streaming protocols, including RTSP and ONVIF, making it a flexible choice for integration with existing security systems. This compatibility allows for easier management and integration of security hardware, ensuring users get the most out of their investment.

Overall, the Vivotek PZ8111 is a comprehensive surveillance solution that combines high-resolution imaging, versatile pan-and-tilt functionality, advanced night vision, and intelligent analytics. Its innovative features make it an exceptional choice for businesses and homeowners alike, providing peace of mind through reliable and effective security monitoring.
