Read Before Use
The use of surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. The Network Camera is not
only a high-performance web-ready camera but can also be part of a exible surveillance system. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure that the operation of such devices is legal before installing this unit for
its intended use.
It is important to rst verify that all contents received are complete according to the Package Contents
listed below. Take note of the warnings in the Quick Installation Guide before the Network Camera is
installed; then carefully read and follow the instructions in the Installation chapter to avoid damage due to
faulty assembly and installation. This also ensures the product is used properly as intended.
The Network Camera is a network device and its use should be straightforward for those who have basic
networking knowledge. It is designed for various applications including video sharing, general security/
surveillance, etc. The Configuration chapter suggests ways to best utilize the Network Camera and
ensure proper operations. For creative and professional developers, the URL Commands of the Network
Camera section serves as a helpful reference to customizing existing homepages or integrating with the
current web server.

Overview
The SD9364-EHL is the latest professional speed dome camera from VIVOTEK, specifically
designed to enhance low light surveillance in large coverage areas. Equipped with 150 M IR
illuminators and a 30x optical zoom lens, the SD9364-EHL provides a superb low light image in
the most challenging situations. The SD9364-EHL also adopts VIVOTEK's latest IR technology,
VAIR (Vari-Angle IR). VIVOTEK's VAIR provides smooth vari-angle adjustment of the IR
illuminators, allowing broad coverage FOV and highly uniform IR intensity while avoiding hot-
spots traditionally associated with IR illumination.
The SD9364-EHL is the first PTZ surveillance camera with IR Illumination to utilize H.265
compression technology. When combined with VIVOTEK's Smart Stream II technology users
can obtain bandwidth savings of up to 80% compared to traditional H.264. By combining 1080p
full HD resolution with H.265, IR illuminators, VAIR, WDR, and 30x optical zoom, the SD9364-
EHL is able to capture ne details at top-notch quality, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. VIVOTEK
further strengthened the camera performance with an IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing to
protect the camera against rain, dust, and corrosion. The SD9364-EHL has a wide operating
temperature range from -50°C to 55°C, ensuring continuous operation under the most extreme
weather conditions and hazardous environments. This makes the SD9364-EHL ideally suited
to monitor wide open spaces such as ports, highways, cities, and parking lots where high-level
precision is required.
As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SD9364-EHL features a removable IR-cut lter,
maintaining clear images 24 hours a day. Audio detection is included by recognizing changes
in ambient noise. The SD9364-EHL also includes a SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot and supports up
to 60 fps in 1080P full HD. For the most demanding outdoor surveillance application, there is
nothing that compares to the VIVOTEK SD9364-EHL.

1. The DO+ pin provides 12V output voltage, and the max. load is 50mA.
2. The max. voltage for DO- pins is 30VDC (External power).
In order to control AC devices, the above diagram can be taken in consideration. The diagram
uses a relay to control the ON/OFF condition of the AC device.
3. An external relay can be triggered by using DO+ or by an external power source, depending
on the type of relay you use.
4. In case of using an individual relay (instead of using a relay module), for protection against
voltage or current spikes, a transient voltage suppression diode must be connected in parallel
with the inductive load.

1. Jot down the camera's MAC address for later reference.
2. The camera weighs 6kg. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to the camera.
Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
3. Drill 4 pilot holes (9.5mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer in
threaded anchors. Note that you should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on them so that
the threaded poles will not be deformed! If preferred, drill another hole for routing cables.
4. Remove the hex nuts, washers, and leave one washer on each of the threaded poles.

1. This equipment is only to be connected to PoE networks without routing to outside plants.
2. For PoE input, use only UL listed I.T.E. with PoE output.
1. If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera
defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
2. If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the IW2 utility
to search the network. If the camera has been congured with a xed IP that does not comply
with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot find the
camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults. The factory default is DHCP client.
3. If you change your network parameters, e.g., added a camera via a connection to a LAN card,
re-start the IW2 utility.

Network Deployment
Setting up the Network Camera over the Internet
There are several ways to set up the Network Camera over the Internet. The rst way is to set
up the Network Camera behind a router. The second way is to utilize a static IP. The third way is
to use PPPoE.
Internet connection via a router
Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow
the steps below.
1. Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below.
Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 23 for
details.
2. In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is
192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.
■ Secondary HTTP port: 8080
■ RTSP port: 554
■ RTP port for audio: 5558
■ RTCP port for audio: 5559
■ RTP port for video: 5556
■ RTCP port for video: 5557
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly
on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer to your
router’s user’s manual.
3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the
IP address : 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default router : 192.168.0.1
