Basic step for wifi setup
First connect your wifi device and computer to the switch or router using the
network cable.
Please note: the default ip address is (192.168.0.233)
The LAN ip address of your device is:
IP address 192.168.0.233
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.0.1
Now you have to manually assign your computer LAN ip address.
To do this, please right click on my network places icon located on your desktop then click on properties.
Now right click local area connection, then click on properties.
Under local area connection screen in the general tab, click on internet protocol (tcp/ip) then click on
properties.
On internet protocol (tcp/ip) properties, click on use the following ip address and assign the following
address below.
Your computer ip address should be:
Ip address 192.168.0.200
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.0.1
After completing all of the steps above, you’re now ready to configure your wifi.
First you need to launch your internet explorer only (not compatible with firefox browser)
Clear out the address bar than type the following ip address in your address bar (192.168.0.233)
It will display the login screen, before you login please install the ocx plugin first!!!!!!!
Login name: admin
Password: admin
Once you login successfully, please click the network setup on the left off your screen.
Now click on wireless nic to configure and input your router information.
On the wireless nic tab
1. Enter your router ESSID (router name)
2. Select encrypt (input your security code for your router)
3. Wep key (input your security key to gain access to the router)
4. Choose the options (use specific ip)
5. Input your ip address: xxx xxx xxx xxx
6. Netmask: xxx xxx xxx xxx
7. Default gateway: xxx xxx xxx xxx
8. After filling in your entire router information, click ok then click on reboot tab to your left.
9. Once your device is rebooted, please give it 45 seconds before disconnecting the network cable.
You are now able to access your device wirelessly, through the ip address you have assigned.

refer to table 1.
¾ᇹI Frame InvᇺIt means the number of frame P or frame B between key frames (frame I)
¾ᇹRate TypeᇺWhen the VBR(Variable Bit rate) is chose, the video server will automatically
choose a proper stream according to the complex and movement condition of images and the

¾ᇹImage QualityᇺImage quality. It is an important parameter which controls image quality; it can
be set in 5 levels. For setting please refer to “Advanced image setting skill”

15
¾ᇹBit Rateᇺ“Bit Rate” means the amount of stream bit encoding by encoder in a second, the unit
of stream rate is bps, namely bits per second. The range of stream rate is from 16kto 4096k, please
note that the unit kmeans 1000, for example 4096kmeans 4096000bps, the encoder will use
4096000bps stream rate to encode video.
For more details of setting of the above part please refer to the following “Advanced image
setting skill”
3.1.3. Advanced image setting skill
Image setting is an important part in the server setting because it will affect the system ability, it has
close relationship with the video quality and networkability. The aim of image setting is to make it
conveniently suitable for various networks.
Bit stream and frame rate settings are providing in system, but it is hard to suit various networks
with only several default values. Consequently, some advanced settings are provided for user to ensure
the video quality while utilizing networkeffectively.
The image settings including
ᇹBit Rateᇺ,ᇹFrame Rateᇺ,ᇹI Frame Invᇺ,ᇹRate typeᇺ,ᇹImage
QualityᇺandᇹDefinitionᇺare what we concern about.
Now we will introduce meaning, effect to other settings and networkability of each setting
respectively.
¾Bit Rate
It means the size of stream bit encoding by encoder per second. The unit is bit per second. This
setting is the main factor affects the bandwidth of networkand other settings. The bandwidth utilizing
will increase when the bit rate increase. Thus CBR (Constant Bit rate) setting according to the
bandwidth is suitable for the networkbandwidth limitation situations. In the same quality situation, bit
rate will be affected by settings including frame rate, I frame Inv, rate type, image quality, and
definition. Please refer to following introduction for details. This parameter is valid when the “Rate
Type” is set as CBR (Constant Bit rate).
¾Frame Rate
It means the maximum number of frames that encoder encodes per second, with unit frame per
second. this setting has three functions, firstly the number of frames encoder encoding per second is set
by this setting, secondly when the stream rate is CBR (Constant Bit rate), when the frame rate changed,
for example decreased, because the encoder need to keep the current code stream setting, thus it will
enhance the frame quality according to the current code stream setting. It means, when the code stream
is VBR (Variable Bit rate), the decreasing of frame rate will enhance the quality of video and keep the
same frame rate value. The video quality will reduce conversely. Thirdly, when the same quality is kept,

16
the increasing frame rate will make the image display smoother and stream rate increasing. Conversely,
the image will become discontinuous and stream rate decrease.
¾I Frame Inv
It means the number of frame P or frame B between key frames (frame I). Generally, the default
value of this parameter is 25 and does not need to be changed. When the stream rate is settled, the
increasing of this value will make the quality of video better. When the video keep the same quality,
this value increasing will make stream rate increased. Conversely, the stream rate will decrease.
¾Rate Type
when the VBR(Variable Bit rate) is chose, the front end will automatically choose a proper stream
according to the complex and movement condition of images and the image quality set by user, but the
“Bit Rate” will not exceed. When the CBR (Constant Bit rate) is chose, the front end will control the
“Bit Rate” in the setting.
¾Image Quality
It is an important parameter which controls image quality; this parameter is valid when the “Rate
Type” is set as VBR (Variable Bit rate).
¾Definition
Definition controls the sharpness of image, setting with 4 levels: 1 for lowest, 4 for highest. When
the video keep the same quality, the higher the definition is, the higher the stream rate will be,
conversely, the stream rate will decrease. When the stream rate is constant as a low value, the higher
the definition is, the lower the image quality will be. When the stream rate is a high value, the higher
the definition is, the better the image quality will be.
To sum up, please refer to our reference value for various conditions and the information giving
above to adjust the image setting. You can make adjusting according to the above description if the
quality of video is not satisfied.

have strict requirements for the image quality or the bandwidth.
3.2. OSD/MASK setting
The “OSD setting” shown as following figure includes the OSD/MASK setting. In the setting “෭”
in “႒” means enabling the corresponding overlay option function, contrarily disabling the
corresponding function.
