Someone brought me a vivotek sd8111 and the pan /tilt is not working. I am not really familiar with this brand I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem or if anyone has any suggestions.

probably bad motors or connections...its a D1 camera and not worth your time...

Thanks fenderman, I told him I'd help him out if I could.

I guess just the pan that doesn't work as when I reset it, the tilt kicked in.

The moter looks pretty straight forward but googling the numbers stamped on the top gave no results.

What is D1?

The specs indicate that the camera is D1 resolution - 704x480. Its not worth repairing or spending any money on it.
Do you hear any noise why trying to pan?

Oh ok, got it.

No, I don't hear any noise from the pan moter when I power up the camera just tilt. I haven't tried to manually pan as I hav not tried hooking it up to my NVR yet.

you dont need to hook it up to an nvr, just the network and you can try panning via the web interface.

Right, I didn't even think of that. I will hook it up tommorow and see what happens and I'll report back with my findings.

I'm having trouble finding the ip of this camera. The manual state's default is 192.168.0.1 so I reset the camera multiple times, set my adapter to a static IP of 192.168.0.111 and tried to connect via Internet Explorer but got nothing. I tried using vivoteks ip software called shepherd and came up empty. Any suggestions on how to find this cameras IP?

What is the IP address of your router?

Ok, that makes sense, the router is on another segment so it's blocking them from seeing each other. I changed my local network adapters IP to a static Ip of the same segment of the camera's default IP then connected to the same network so I thought they should be able to see each other.

I will sort this out and get back...
