Chapter 3. Using Third Party Clients
The N6603 supports RTSP/RTP streaming.
RTSP (Real Time Transfer Protocol) is a network control protocol designed for use in
entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is
used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points. Clients of media servers
issue VCR-like commands, such as play and pause, to facilitate real-time control of playback of
media files from the server (see paragraph 6.2.1 for details).
NOTE:
You can play RTSP stream with any supported video player (Real Player, VLC, Quick Time, etc).
3.1. Playing 3GP Video
You can view camera image on a computer as well as a mobile device such as cell phones,
smartphones, PDA, etc (iPhone supported as well). You can configure the stream to be viewed on
a mobile device at SETTING –Basic –Camera –MPEG-4 –Mobile view.
IMPORTANT:
To view 3GP video, you need to enable [RTSP] at SETTING –Basic –Camera –General.
If your phone does not support streaming video, type «rtsp://<IP>:<PORT>/video.3gp»in
a streaming player installed in your phone to view the 3GP video. <IP> means public IP address of
your camera, <PORT> means RTSP port (default value is 554). Example:
rtsp://89.57.167.76:554/video.3gp.
3.2. Playing Streaming Video in 2.5G Networks over WAP
If your phone is used on a 2.5G network, type «http://<IP>/mobile.wml»in the WAP
browser’s address bar to the view video over WAP. <IP> means public IP address of your camera.
3.3. Playing Streaming Video in 2.5G Networks via Browser
If your phone is used on a 2.5G network, type «http://<IP>/mobile.htm»in the browser’s
address bar to view the video. <IP> means public IP address of your camera.
3.4. Playing Streaming Video via Third Party Software
If your computer is connected to high-speed Internet or you need to view streaming video in
other formats, you can use real time RTSP players such as VLC, Quick Time, Real Player, etc.

Chapter 3. Using Third Party Clients
N6603 Operations User Manual

NOTE:
Connection speed to the camera depends on the bandwidth.
3.4.1. Playing MPEG-4 Video
Type rtsp://<IP>:<PORT>/video.mp4, <IP> means IP address of your camera, <PORT>
means RTSP port of your camera (default value is 554). Example:
rtsp://89.57.167.76:554/video.mp4.
3.4.2. Playing MJPEG Video
Type rtsp://<IP>:<PORT>/video.mjpg, <IP> means IP address of your camera, <PORT>
means HTTP port of your camera (default value is 80). Example:
rtsp://89.57.167.76:80/video.mjpeg.
IMPORTANT:
To view MJPEG video, you need to disable [RTSP] at SETTING –Basic –Camera –General.
3.4.3. Getting a JPEG Image
Type http://<IP>:<PORT>/jpg/image.jpg, <IP> means IP address of your camera,
<PORT> means HTTP port of your camera (default value is 80). Example:

Chapter 4. Managing the IP Camera via Internet Explorer
Step 1: connect your camera according to the User manual.
Step 2: open Internet Explorer, type your camera’s IP address in the address bar. The
default IP address is 192.168.0.99.
NOTE:
There are two ways to assign an IP address to an IP camera.
1. An IP address can be obtained automatically from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
according to the network parameters.
2. Use a manually specified IP address. See paragraph 6.3.1 for details. Contact your system
administrator to avoid IP address conflict.
NOTE:
To view camera image without showing control panel, type «http://<IP>/index2.htm»in browser’s
address bar. <IP> means IP address of your camera
Step 3: enter username and password
in the authorization window (Pic. 4.1).
The default user name is «admin», the
default password is «admin».
Pic. 4.1
IMPORTANT:
You can change user name and password at SETTING –Basic –Security –Account.If you forgot your
user name or password, you can reset your camera to factory settings by holding [RESET] button during
10-15 seconds.Hold [RESET] button during 5-7 seconds to restart the camera.
By default, Windows prevents ActiveX add-ons from running which are required to operate
an IP camera. Therefore, you need to install the ActiveX add-on to operate your camera.

Chapter 4. Managing the IP Camera via Internet Explorer
N6603 Operations User Manual

4.1. Installing ActiveX Controls
To view camera image via Internet Explorer, you need to install ActiveX controls. To do so,
follow these steps:
NOTE:
The installation is shown for Internet Explorer 8.0 and Windows 7.
Step 1: open Internet Explorer, type the IP address of your camera in the address bar (Pic.
4.2). Press Enter or click Go To button.
Pic. 4.2
IMPORTANT:
The camera’s default IP address is 192.168.0.99. If the camera was assigned with an IP address by a
DHCP server in a local network, you should search your camera by BEWARD IP Installer. If you use
several IP cameras, you need to change their default IP addresses so that each camera will have a unique
IP address.
NOTE:
To connect to the camera, you need to get your computer and your camera to the same subnet.
Step 2: you will see an authorization window where you should enter your user name and
password (Pic. 4.3)

Chapter 4. Managing the IP Camera via Internet Explorer

Pic. 4.3
IMPORTANT:
Default user name is admin, default password is admin.
Step 3: after successful authorization you will be prompted to install an ActiveX add-on.
You will see a system notification under the address bar: “This website wants to install the
following add-on: “AxMediaControl.cab” from “BEWARD Co., Ltd.”. If you trust the website
and the add-on and want to install it, click here…”. (Pic. 4.4)
Pic. 4.4
Step 4: click right mouse button on this notification. In the drop-down menu select “Install
This Add-on for All Users on This Computer…” or click on the area “Click here to install the
