Vivotek Camera Software Download

[Gusatavo Lussier]

Oncefirmware restored, the software is your cam controls and audio/live view. If you want to be able to record/store video footage, you will need to acquire a Vivotek NVR (something like the VIVOTEK ND8321).

As for Alarm.com being the OEM for the Vivotek cameras, I think you may be confused. The OEM makes the hardware and equipment. In this case, at least, alarm.com is not the manufacturer of the cameras they use.

From what you have posted above, that patch allows the ADC branded cameras to be unlocked and used standalone with Vivotek software locally, and does not require the original OEM firmware to be restored (which means the cameras can then be reused and added back to alarm.com at any point as the alarm.com firmware variant is still installed).

I agree with John's overall assessment. Small details like whether or not a dome camera has a permanent pigtail to find a home for, and/or lensing options could make a big difference in the final quote. 'Getting in the weeds' on these points are a worthwhile step when other factors are close.

I once ordered a Vivotek for a project and promptly sent it back because the image quality was that poor I couldn't even use it (the project was a simple streaming service from a shopping complex for their customers). This was around 3 years back so things may be different with them now.

We have also installed ACTI in the past and their cameras are ok for the price tag. The main problem with ACTI is the software which is not particularly user friendly and for a domestic customer I would say ease of use is the most critical.

So I'm guessing most would say Axis if your customer can afford. If cost is a real issue maybe look at their camera companion. Also consider the warranty from each manufacturer as that can affect the overall cost over the years.

Deciding between brands may not be as important as deciding on specific models. Every manufacturer has their strong points and weak points in a product line; just because it has a certain name on the housing doesn't mean it's going to be great, or even good.

Case in point: I needed a decent low-light/WDR box camera to replace a failed Arecont, without getting too expensive. A supplier recommended a particular Vivotek as matching the spec (don't recall the model right off, IP8162 rings a bell?). We tried it out... and it performed spectacularly. Then I started noticing various reviews of other Vivotek models that pretty much panned their entire product line... reviews that really didn't jive with my first experience with the brand. In fact, the customer was so happy with the camera, we used the same model to replace another failed camera on another site of theirs.

Dahua is another example: a member here imports and sells their equipment under his own brand, but carefully selects which models he's going to carry... both to avoid having to carry too many different pieces, but also because he tests a product thoroughly before putting his name on it, and some models simply don't measure up to what he wants to offer his customers.

Of course, the drawback to this route is that you do have to go with a third-party NVR or VMS that will support multiple different brands. I would imagine the Axis and ACTI software works only with their own cameras, which does lock you into a brand.

Btw, with regards to the VMS, if this integrator chooses Axis cameras, I think he should certainly pick a $50 per camera open VMS like Exacq or Milestone rather than ACS (which is more expensive yet less functional).

It looks like some of their cameras support ONVIF (the one I looked at on their web site) so you could possibly use the ONVIF app.

One thing to note is Homey can only cope with a still image, so no live video feed whatever app you use in Homey.
