After a week of tech support from both Geovision and Vivotek the guys at usavision came up with a resolution. The fix was to upgrade to version 8.4 and
Here are the solution to your Vivotek PZ7111 camera issue.
According to our HQ, Vivotek requires RTSP port 554 if you use H.264 or MPEG4 compression.
Only if you use JPEG will the PZ7111 camera be using port 80 only.
If you intend to use H.264 or MPEG4 compression, then please make sure you open and forward port 554 as well as it will become necessary.
This is straight from GV tech support
Well done!
