4.1First camera access
The first camera access takes place by using the program „Installation Wizard 2“.
After starting the wizard it will automatically search the network for all connected EyeseoIP network cameras
and video servers.
You can find the program on the on the CD at CD-ROM\Tools\EyseoIP Tools\
Install the program on your PC and start it. The wizard will automatically search your network for EyseoIP
camera.
The IP address at factory default is 169.254.0.99. Without using the installation wizard you can only connect
to the camera if the IP address of the PC is between 169.254.0.1 and 169.254.0.98.
If a DHCP server is active in your network the IP address for your PC and camera will be set automatically.
Start now the installation wizard. If no DHCP server is active the installation wizard adds a virtual IP address
in the range of 169.254.0.xx. As long as the installation wizard is active you can access the network camera
by using the virtual IP address. We recommend adjusting immediately the cameras network settings to the IP
settings of the PC’s network.
After closing Installation wizard 2 the additional virtual IP adress will be removed. If IP-
Camera’s IP address is still in a different IP area then the one from your PC the camera access
is no longer possible.
4.2Connecting to the camera by using a web browser
If connecting to the camera by using Mozilla Firefox or Netscape a QuickTime stream will be displayed. This
requires that QuickTime from Apple is installed
In order to show the video stream when using Microsoft Inter Explorer a video plug-in is required. This will be
installed when connecting to the camera. A window will appear asking you to install the plug-in. Press the
install button to continue an install the plug-in. Depending on the security setup of the Internet Explorer the
installation might be blocked. In this case you need to adjust the security settings.

71
English
4.3Installing the Active-X plug-in
For Mozilla Firefox or Netscape users, your browser will use Quick Time to stream the live
video. If you don’t have Quick Time on your computer, please download it first, then launch
the web browser.
4.4Adjusting the security settings
NOTICE!
The security settings of the Internet Explorer can prevent displaying the video stream. Change
at „Extras/Internet Options/Security“ to a lower level. Make sure to activate the ActiveX control
elements at “Custom Level”.
4.5Password authentication
At factory default there is no admin password set for accessing the camera. For security reasons the
administrator should immediately set a password after the initial setup. After setting an admin password the
camera will request for every access a username and password.
The permanent default username for the admin will be „„root” and cannot be changed. The only way to reset
the password if it is forgotten is to reset the camera to factory default settings.

72
English
In order to access the camera enter username “root” and the before defined password.
-> After successful authentication you will connect to the camera and a video stream will be displayed.
4.6Connecting to the camera by using a RTSP player
You can display the MPEG-4 video streams by connecting to the camera with a RTSP capable media player.
Following free media players support RTSP:
xVLC Media Player
xReal Player
xQuickTime Media Player
The RTSP address has to be entered as following:
rtsp://<IP-address of the network camera>:<rtsp Port>/<Name of the video stream >
How to change the name of the video stream will be explained further on.
Example:
rtsp://192.168.0.99:554/live.sdp
4.7Connecting to the network camera by using a mobile phone
Make sure that your mobile phone is able to establish a internet connection. Furthermore the mobile phone
has to have an RTSP capable media player like:
xReal Player
xCore Player
More information you can find in chapter “RTSP-Transmission”.

73
English
Please notice that limited access can occur, due to low mobile network bandwidth. We recommend following
settings to optimize the video stream:
Video compression MPEG-4
Resolution 176x144
I Frame 1 Second
Video quality (constant bit rate) 40 Kbit / Second
Audio Compression (GSM-AMR) 12.2 Kbit / Second
If the media player does not support the RTSP authentication, then deactivate this option in the RTSP settings
of the camera.
The RTSP address has to be entered as following:
rtsp://<IP-address of the camera >:<rtsp Port>/<Name of the video stream >
How to change the name of the video stream will be explained further on.
Example:
rtsp://192.168.0.99:554/live.sdp
4.8Connecting to the camera by using eytron VMS Express
The included CD contains the free recording software eytron VMS Express. This software enables you to
connect and display to several IP cameras and record these. Further information can be found in the manual
of the software located on the CD.

5.2 Client settings
The user settings are saved on the local computer. The following settings are available:
Media Options Allow the user to disable the audio or video function.
Protocol Options Allows a connection protocol to be selected between the client and the server.
The following protocol options are available for optimising the application: UDP, TCP, HTTP.
The UDP protocol gives you a larger number of audio and video streams in real time. However, some data
packets can be lost due to the large data volume in the network. Pictures may be unclear in this case.
The UDP protocol is recommended if you have no special requirements.
With the TCP protocol, fewer data packets are lost and the video display is more accurate. The disadvantage
of this protocol is that the realtime stream is worse than with the UDP protocol.
Select the HTTP protocol if the network is protected by a firewall and only the HTTP port (80) is to be opened.
The selection of the protocol is recommended in the following order: UDP – TCP – HTTP.
MP4 Saving Options: Here, you can modify the data path to save the data immediately. Activating the
“Add date and time suffix to filename” option generates files under the following name:
CLIP_20091115-164403.MP4
FileExtensionName_YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond.MP4

77
English
The recorded data can be played back using an MP4-compatible video player
(e.g. VLC Media Player).
