Preface
Thank you for using our IP camera products. This series of products are all-in-one IP cameras designed for
network video surveillance, including box IP camera, infrared box IP camera, dome IP camera, speed
dome IP camera, etc. The products adopt high performance and powerful single SOC chip media processor
to integrate audio and video capture, compression and transmission. Standard H.264 Main Profile coding
algorithm ensures clearer and smoother video transmission effect. Built-in Web Server allows users to
easily perform real-time monitoring and remote control over front-end cameras via IE browser.
This series of IP cameras is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, families, and other
environments that require remote network video transmission and monitoring. It is easy to install and
operate.

Note：“Config” is the tool for selecting language.
“MP6Player” is the video player on local PC.

7
720P HD Vandal Proof Fixed Dome Camera
“NVSPlayer” is the video player for network.
2. OS: Windows XP SP2 or above. If the following “Windows Security Alert” popup, please click “Unblock”.
3. Click【Search】button to search IP Address. As follow: (Default:192.168.55.160)
In the above SearchNVS software interface, it shows this computer searched all IP Cameras in LAN. If there are
many IP cameras in your LAN, you can know which camera is yours by the Device Name based on the exclusive
device ID number. The initial Device Name was named in the factory as “IPCam+ID number”.
Note: “Local IP” is your computer’s IP address.
Note: Please close firewall on your PC, If not, maybe you cannot search out the IP.
4.Please make sure IP Camera and your PC have the same Subnet. If not, please change IP Camera IP subnet or PC
IP subnet accordingly.
The same Subnet: (netmask:255.255.255.0)

NTSC mode---D1 (704*480)/Half-D1 (704*240)/CIF (352*240)/QCIF (176*120)
[Quality]: You can choose the right quality according to your need: Fine, Normal, Basic, and the
parameters can also be user-defined while “MJPEG”selected.
[Advanced]: Enable / Disable.
[I frame interval]: Adjustable between 1～200(Preferred Stream), 1～120(Alternate Stream).Smaller I
frame interval means higher image bit rate and better image quality. It is recommended to set the I-frame
interval as above 25.
[Frame rate]: Set encoding frame rate per second. Under poor network condition, frame rate can be
reduced to control encoding bit rate to make motion images flow more smoothly.

18
720P HD Vandal Proof Fixed Dome Camera
[Rate control]: CBR and VBR are optional. CBR adopts constant encoding bit rate, VBR adopts variable
encoding bit rate.
[Bitrate]: The range of preferred and alternate stream is 30~16384Kbps.Higher bit rate setting can
generate better image quality, but it occupies more bandwidth, please adjust the setting according to your
actual bandwidth.
Under CBR setting, [Bitrate] is the constant bit rate of encoding.
Under VBR setting, [Bitrate] is the variable bitrates of encoding.
[Quality]: Under CBR setting: set the bit rate range via “Image Quality”, 1 means it is controlled by the
software, 2~6 means corresponding bit rate range is ±10%～±50%
Under VBR setting: set image quality via “Image Quality”, smaller value of image quality means better
quality and higher bit rate, but the bit rate will not exceed its set value.
[LAN]: I frame interval: 100, frame rate: 25, bit rate: VBR, 2048kbps, image quality: 2
[WAN]: I frame interval: 25, frame rate: 5, bit rate: CBR, 384kbps, image quality: 4
