2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the ND637 from the Web site.
The software will be taken 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, select IP installer, then follow the on
instructions to complete the installation.
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. Moreover, IP Installer can save the
network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.
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 ND637 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 ND637 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 ND637
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click to run the software.

Video Mode: Choose between variable bit rate (VBR) and constant bit rate (CBR)
VBR-> Choose quality level from best to standard, for some environment it is very important to
ensure the video quality level but after selecting video quality level, the bandwidth
consumption will be variable.
CBR-> Choose target bit rate range from 1000kb to 6000kb, for some environment it is very
helpful for network bandwidth management but the video quality will be variable up to the
complexity of video scene.
Image Format: 2 kinds of format to choose from; MJPEG and H.264.
GOP: Choose the number of P-frame or B-frame between I-frame from 2 to 32, the shorter of
the number indicated the higher video quality you may get, while it will consumer more
network bandwidth and storage size.
Frame Rates (FPS): Choose the number of frames to display per second from 5 to15.
