format in which each video frame or interlaced field of a
digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG
image.
SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol
used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating real-time
sessions that include voice, video and messaging
applications.
WDR
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a term used in the
surveillance camera industry to refer to high-dynamic-range
imaging.

3.2.2 Network connection
The camera can be connected to the computer for debugging and configuration in the
following ways:
1. Direct computer connection
2. Connect through a switch or router
3.2.3 Access to devices
Factory default configuration page address of IPC is http://192.168.1.100. Default
user name is admin, the password is xmsx1234. If the computer and the camera are
in a different network segment so that customer cannot directly access the camera
from the computer.
In the case of a direct computer connection, it is necessary to set a fixed IP address
for the computer first. The specific operation is as follows:
1. Open the Network Connections page of the computer and right-click the Ethernet
and choose properties.

Internet Explorer.
3.2.4 Device search and IP setting
When customer using a switch or router to connect, the device may not be able to
access because the camera is in a different network segment from the computer and
router. At this time, customer needs to use search tools to search IPC device for
configuration.
Open Incisive Tools and click the search button. The tool will search all camera
devices under the same LAN and list them together.

Please confirm whether the IP address of the IP camera is in the same network
segment as the computer. Otherwise, the configuration of the camera cannot be
accessed. The following processes can use for obtain the network segment where the
computer is located:
Press Win+R on a Windows computer to open the CMD:
Enter ipconfig in the command bar and press Enter:
If the network segment of the computer is 192.168.88.x, the IP of the IP camera should
also be changed to 192.168.88.x. If the network segment of the computer is
192.168.0.x, the IP of the camera should be changed to 192.168.0.x, and so on.
In the search tool, the IP of the device can be directly modified in batches. The specific
processes are as follows:
