User's Manual - 3
Overview
VIVOTEK IP7161 is a high-end 2-megapixel network camera with true day and night functions, ideally
suited for wide open spaces such as building entrances and airports, or applications requiring accurate
identification, such as human faces in banks or vehicle license plates in parking lots� With advanced
2-megapixel (1600 x 1200) resolution, the IP7161 can not only deliver extremely clear and detailed
images, but also capture much larger areas of scenes that CCTV cameras cannot� Consequently, users
can significantly reduce deployment costs by using a megapixel camera instead of multiple VGA models.
To consistently maintain superior image quality during 24-hour surveillance, the IP7161 comes with a
built-in removable IR-cut filter for the acceptance of IR illumination and auto-iris lens for frequent light
changes� For safe and secure monitoring, the IP7161 also supports tamper detection so that security
staff can be alerted immediately if the camera is blocked, redirected, defocused, or spray-painted� The
exceptional time-shift streaming feature stores pre- and post-event images temporarily on a buffer
memory in the camera, giving the user a view of events leading up to and after incidents�
Additionally, the IP7161 camera incorporates an adjustment ring to improve the lens compatibility for
either C- or CS-mount lens, with a design that provides system integrators with more flexibility and
simpler installation for different applications� In order to facilitate convenient on-board storage and data
portability, the camera also provides an SD/SDHC card slot for temporary recording and data storage�
The IP7161 includes other advanced features such as simultaneous dual streams, 802�3af compliant
PoE, two-way audio via SIP protocol and HTTPS encrypted data transmission�
