Q1: How to use a 3G phone to view the camera?

First, please note that you have to use our 7000 series products, because only they support RTSP protocol so that you can use 3G phones to view them. Please follow the under steps to make it work:

  1. Please set up your camera on the Internet first. For how to set up the camera on the internet, please refer to XXXXX
  2. On camera side, please check the settings:
    1. For IP7137/IP7135/PT7137/PT7135, please check:
      1. Disable "RTSP authentication" in "Network" page.
        (Because most players in 3G phone do not support RTSP authentication, so you have to disable it.)
      2. Choose"Configure for mobile viewing" in "Audio and video" page.
        (Because the 3G network bandwidth is limited, you can’t use too large video size or you will get nothing on your cell phone.)
      3. Please make sure that you use "554" as your RTSP port in Network page.
        (Because most ISP and players do not allow or support port number other than 554 to let RTSP streaming go through.)
    2. On 3G phone sides,
      1. Please use the players not browser in it. (Such as realplayer or any multi media players in it)
      2. Please type URL in the player:
        rtsp://<the public IP of your camera>/live.sdp

Q3: Can I use the Relaplayer in PDA to view the video of the camera?

Unfortunately, the version of Realplayer in PDA does not support to view our camera, so you can’t do that.

Q4: Can I use the browser in the PDA or my 3G phone to view the video of VIVOTEK camera?

No, because the browser in PDA and 3G phone can’t download the plug-in, so you can’t use them to view the video of VIVOTEK camera.
