Installation
1. Hardware

6
2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the ND614 from the Web
site. The software will be available from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure network cameras and video servers on
the LAN. This utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the
device, or for finding a device once the network settings have been modified. To install
the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IP installer, then follow the on
screen instructions.
XVID Codec
An H.264 codec is applied for displaying the video stream and playing the recoded AVI
files. If the video stream can’t be displayed or the recorded AVI files can’t be play on PC,
install this software from the Software Package CD.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web
browser.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the
network settings for multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function.
NOTE: Default mode is DHCP.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server
in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the device is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the
label of the device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any Pixord devices on the LAN
except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same
subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC
must be in the same subnet. For more information about subnets, please consult your
network administrator.
Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to ND614
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IP Installer
icon on the desktop,
2. Click the [Device Search] to search the device in the LAN.
*0004290000

RTSP Path -
The RTSP Path is the stream ID used for RTSP client streaming connection, such as VLC
player. The default values are v00, v01 and v02 for the three streams respectively. The string
can be any combination of number or capital/small letters. It cannot be empty however.
Resolution -
The resolution here describes an image size counted by width and height, e.g. 640x480,
referring to pixel resolution. The 1st stream can be set from more options of resolution;
1600x1200 (2 megapixels), 1280x720(HD), 800x600(SVGA), 640x480(VGA),
320x240(QVGA). While Stream2 has the options of VGA and QVGA, stream3 is in a fixed
resolution, the QVGA.
Video Mode -
This option allows the selection of two bit rate modes, the Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or
Variable Bit Rate (VBR). CBR refers to the setting of a fixed Target Bit Rate (configuration in
the rage of 64Kbps to 6Mbps) that would apply in the case of limited bandwidth or/and storage
requirement. While CBR concerns a fixed data rate transmitting, the video quality is of high
priority for VBR mode selected. VBR therefore is configured with the Quality Level (Standard,
Good, Best). In general, CBR predicts the provided condition; if image activity requires higher
bit rates than configured, the frame rate and quality would be affected as not likely to increase
bandwidth (bit rate). In spite of the required recording storage estimation, VBR is by way of
compensation that adjustable bit rate fits the actual image activity.
Image Format -
H.264 and MJPEG are available for image format selection. The term, “image format”, is
referring to compression / encoding technique. The selection of image format decides the
performance of bandwidth and storage requirement. In the request of same video quality,
H.264 contributes to less bandwidth and storage requirement, which is more efficient than
MJPEG.
GOP -
In H.264 video coding, GOP (group of pictures) describes how the different types of frames are
arranged. The frame types implemented here are I-frame (full image information) and P-frame
(motion-compensated difference information). This setting configures the GOP length which is
the number of frames before next I-frame appears. Having more I-frames usually increases
the stream size, and therefore more bandwidth and storage are required.
Frame Rates -
The Frame Rates defines the number of frames that will be displayed per second. The frame

20
rate setting can affect the target bit rate (bandwidth requirement) and storage requirement.
Note:
While multiple streaming is possible, each stream has its limitation and dependency to other
stream. See “Video Stream Specification”.
