1.INTRODUCTION
1.1.Welcome
ThismanualexplainshowtointerfacewiththeGANZENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERAseries
usingastandardWebbrowser(forexampleMicrosoftInternetExplorer).TheWebPageofthe
GANZENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERAisimplementedwithprotocolsbelow.
•HTTPAPI–Parameterconfigurationcommands
•RTP/RTSP–Video,Audio,andMetadataStreaming
•ActiveXprogram–ImagedisplayonclientPC

NOTE:
ThismanualisgeneratedbasedonZN‐S1000VE,1chnetworkvideoencoder.ForallofGANZ
encoderandnetworkcamera,mostoftheuserinterfacesofwebpagecanbeappliedequally.
But,inevitablysomepartshavebeendesignedotherwisethanZN‐S1000VEaccordingtothe
characteristicsofeachmodel.Forthisreason,youshouldalsorefertothesection6.
REFERENCETOMODELSifyou’reusingmultichannelsolutionornetworkcameratype.
1.2.GettingStarted
YouwillneedtoinstallyourGANZENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERAseriesbeforeusingthis
manual.RefertotheGANZENCODERHardwareManualsuppliedwiththeSDK.Onceinstalled,
applypowertothesystemandrefertothe’InstallationGuide’or‘Hardwaremanual’foreach
modelformoredetailinstallationguide.
1.3.IPaddresssetting
HowtofindtheIPAddressofyourdevice:
YoucanfigureoutthedefaultIPaddressofyourproductfromMACaddress.Ifyouhave
succeededinconvertingtheIPaddresslikethepicturebelow,justtypetheaddressonthe
addressbaroftheInternetExplorer.


ThispageenablesyoutosettheprotocoltocommunicatewiththewebserverofGANZ
ENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERA.Basically,thedatatransmittedbyHTTPSisencryptedby
SSL.GANZENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERAseriesisappliedwithOpenSSL.HTTPSishighly
recommendedmethodcomparedtoHTTPforthesecurityreasonbutifyouwanttouseHTTP,
youcancheck‘EnableHTTP’easily.

WhatisSSL?
It’stheabbreviationofSecureSocketLayer.SSLprotectswebserverandmakesiteasyfor
userstotrustthecontents.WhenyouuseHTTPSforcommunicationwithserver,theSSL
certificateisrequiredforthewebserverandthecertificateenablesencryptionofvideoand
audiodataduringonlinetransactions.OpenSSLisoneofthedatasecurityprotocolsforLinux
system,whichisusedfortheGANZENCODERANDNETWORKCAMERAseries.

Settingtheportnumberofwebserver
TocommunicatewithserverbyHTTPorHTTPSwithTCP,theportnumbercanbefixed
between1and65535.Thefactorydefaultissetas443.

RedirectingHTTPtoHTTPS:
Evenifausertriestoaccessserverwithhttp,youcanenabletheservertoredirecttoHTTPS.
Inthiscase,donotset‘80’forportnumberbecauseitcancauseaconflictwithHTTPport.
