Security > IEEE 802.1x

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and have their 802.1x settings enabled.

The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.

■The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

Supplicant

Authenticator

Authentication Server

(Network Camera)

(Network Switch)

(RADIUS Server)

1.Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.

2.Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users from communicating with the authentication server.

3.Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to accept the end user’s access request.

■VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAPand EAP-TLS.

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1.Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i.e., network administrator of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server.

2.Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the configuration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAPor EAP-TLSas the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).

63E-M, SD8363E specifications

The Vivotek SD8363E and SD8363E-M are advanced outdoor-speed dome network cameras designed to provide high-performance surveillance in various environments. Both models are engineered to deliver reliable monitoring solutions, characterized by their robust design and exceptional technological features.

One of the standout features of the SD8363E series is its superior image quality. Equipped with a 2-megapixel sensor, these cameras are capable of delivering vivid, high-resolution images at 30 frames per second. The combination of WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology and IR (Infrared) illumination enhances their capability to capture clear images even in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlit scenes or during nighttime.

The cameras are designed for versatile monitoring with a powerful 30x optical zoom lens, enabling users to focus on distant subjects while maintaining sharp detail. This feature is particularly beneficial for large areas where fine details are crucial for identification purposes. The built-in P-Iris provides precise control over the aperture, thus optimizing depth of field, image clarity, and quality in various lighting conditions.

Furthermore, the Vivotek SD8363E and SD8363E-M are equipped with advanced network technology, including H.264 compression. This technology allows for reduced bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high video quality. The cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing the power and data to be transmitted through a single cable.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the intelligent video analytics feature incorporated into these models. Users benefit from automated capabilities such as motion detection, tampering detection, and a variety of customizable event triggers. These functionalities enhance the efficiency of surveillance operations, saving time and resources.

The design of the SD8363E-M variant includes additional features suited for various environmental challenges, such as IP66-rated and IK10-rated housing, ensuring resistance to harsh weather conditions and vandalism. This makes the SD8363E-M an ideal choice for outdoor installations in urban areas or high-risk environments.

In summary, the Vivotek SD8363E and SD8363E-M are cutting-edge surveillance solutions that integrate high-resolution imaging, powerful zoom capabilities, efficient compression technology, and robust environmental protection. These features make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from urban monitoring to commercial security.
