Assigning IP Address to the device
The iMege device discovery tool is a utility provided for searching iMege network video devices in a network.
It can also manage the IP assignment for multiple devices. This is useful when bulk network setting of the
network devices is required.
When IP camera is correctly installed in a network, it can be searched by the tool. The steps of applying this
search tool are as below.
1. Launch iMege Discovery Tool (iMegeDiscover.exe). The tool will start searching and then displaying
the cameras on the Device List after they are found.
2. Check the box to select a camera device from the list. The following operations will be applied on it.
3. The selected camera may have been assigned a valid IP address via DHCP server. It can also be
manually given an IP address. To do so, click on “Set IP” button. In the pop-up “Set IP” window, input
the IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway. Input account info if camera is password protected.
4. Click on the “Browse” button. This will launch an IE browser and link to the camera web page
immediately.

9
Discovering devices in Windows Network
If the IP camera is installed in a network with DHCP and UPnP services, after obtaining an IP address from
DHCP server, it can then be discovered in “Windows Network” of a client PC, see figure below. The reason for
being automatically discovered is that the IP camera’s UPnP is default enabled (see Network
 Network
Connectivity).
NOTE
The term “Windows Network” in given figure above is used in Windows Vista / 7. It can be referred to
Windows XP’s “My Network Places” which possesses the same capability of discovering UPnP
devices.
To identify the camera from the listed devices in “Network”, utilize the UPnP name (e.g. iMege) and the
device’s MAC address. This MAC address can be found on the label, see figure below.
Right-click on the device and select “Properties”, the pop-up window shows all the information related to the
device, including the web access info. Use the web address to connect to the IP camera. Or simply double-
click on the selected device, which gets immediately access to the camera webpage.

10
ActiveX add-on Installation
The access to the camera webpage for the first time will be prompted to install the ActiveX. This installation is
essential for viewing live video via IE browser. To allow the installation, click on the message bar and select
“Install This Add-on for All Users on This Computer….”.
Continue the following instructions until the ActiveX is completely installed. The IE browser can then display
the live video of the IP camera as below figure.

11
NOTE
If, however, there is not any prompted message or ActiveX can not be installed at all, change the IE
security level and settings. In IE Internet Options Security Custom level, make sure the
“Download signed ActiveX controls” setting is “Enable” or “Prompt” selected.

12
Accessing the camera
Viewing the live video
With correct installations and IP settings, the camera device can be approached via network. There are three
ways to view the live video from the camera,
1. IE Browser
Launch IE browser and input the IP address of the camera, or click on “Browse” button on
iMege Discovery Tool. The web page with video will then be shown as below.
2. RTSP Player
The live video of the camera can be played with a RTSP player, such as VLC or QuickTime. A URL
command, like rtsp://Camera IP/stream1 will be required. The example given below is that the live
video is displayed with QuickTime player.

13
3. NVR / CMS Software
Some software (NVR / CMS) vendors may have announced the integration with this camera model. In
this case, the software is able to retrieve the video from the camera for both live displaying and
recording. For detailed support information and operation, please contact the software vendors for
further instructions.
NOTE
The camera supports three simultaneous video streaming (see Video & Audio
 Video Setting). To
gain access to the camera for each video stream, the RTSP path will be required. The default paths
for the 3 streams are “stream1”, “stream2”, and “stream3”. The URL would be like below.
Stream1: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream1
Stream2: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream2
Stream3: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream3
Tuning camera Focus
1. Open the housing. (Make sure the burglarproof screw has been taken away)
2. The G2214H series cameras are bundled with a vari-focal lens. Adjust the Zoom range, T ↔W for a
proper view angle and adjust the focus controller in the range of N ↔∞shown on the lens.

Video & Audio
This section describes how to configure the video streaming of the device, and the related camera image
configurations. Users with Administrator or Operator authority (see System
 User Management) would
intend doing these configurations.
Click on “Setup” to enter the configuration pages.
There are 3 subdirectories in “Video & Audio” for detailed settings of each function:
Camera Setting
Video Setting
Audio Setting

19
Camera Setting
Image Setting
Brightness: the luminance of image view. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.
Contrast: the ratio of luminance of white to black. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.
Saturation: colorfulness of a color related to its own brightness. Default value is 8, adjustable from 0
to 16.
Sharpness: refer to image acutance, which presents in the edges contrast of an image. Default value
is 8, adjustable from 0 to 16.
The 4 correlates are referring image appearance in terms of color/vision that are adjustable according
to user preferences.
Video Orientation: change the image orientation. Mirror, rotate the image horizontally. Flip, rotate
the image vertically. These operations are usually applied when camera must be installed in an
exceptional position, e.g. ceiling, so camera must be upside-down installed.
Day/Night
Switch the video images for Day (plenty of light) or Night (Low light) scene. In “Auto” mode, camera
will switch to Day or Night vision according to the light intensity.
The switching of Day/Night modes includes 3 actions; switching IR Filter In / Off, turn Off / On IR
lamp, and switching image to Color / Mono. In day mode, the IR filter is switched in to avoid the
image sensor from receiving the infrared, and the IR lamp is turned off, thus the true color image is
provided. When camera enters night mode, the 30M IR lamp is turned on, and IR filter is switched off
to allow IR illuminations going into the sensor, thus increasing the images light level. The image color
is switched to B/W (Mono mode).
