1. Introduction
The video server is designed with the “user-friendly” idea deep in mind. It translates the analog video to
digital video, compresses the video by MPEG4 technology and sends the video to internet. The video server
can be easily integrated with a CCTV camera to become an IP based system. Excellent and free rmware
and software are provided for this video server.
The user can install the video server product easily on his/her network connecting with a CCTV camera
and then access the video anywhere in the world through the accompanied video management software-
KraunView. You get this video easily without setting some complicated DNS name or changing the router’s
settings. It’s just a plug & play action and trouble-free installation.
With 3GPP/ISMA support, users can see the video of the video server on any 3G mobile phone anywhere,
anytime. The big dierence is that there is software for downloading to the mobile phone so that the
xed IP address is not needed for the Video server. The video settings including frame rate, resolution and
bandwidth could be dierent for PC monitoring and mobile viewing. Major 3G mobile brands including
Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, LG, Samsung and HTC have been tested.
For indoor/outdoor surveillance and remote monitoring, the video server product provides the best image
quality in its class, and excellent performance. The video server product also provides the best bandwidth
eciency, it oers full D1(720x480 for NTSC, 720x576 for PAL) resolution, 30 fps frame rate, real MPEG4
image compression ability. The audio line-in interface enables remote users to not only see, but also listen
for additional monitoring requirements.
The micro-SD card interface provides local video storage function. The NAS storage function can easily
turn any NAS device to a NVR device. The event scheduling provides full scheduling of email/ftp sending,
D/I detection, NAS recording event. With the built-in Web server, the video server product can also be
managed from a standard web browser on a Windows computer. With the ActiveX support, users can also
see the video display on the Windows IE browser.
The video server product provides motion detection function. Users can easily setup this function and
receive the notication with the snapshot images through email and/or ftp when some motion events are
detected. Users can also record the motion-detected video through the KraunView software.
The video server product is ideal for securing buildings, oces, factories, and residences over a local area
network and/or the Internet.
The dierences
It’s very easy to see the video of the video server product, you only need to key in the ID/Password of the
video server any where in the world, you do not need to remember the IP address or domain name or
DDNS name or port number. And you do not need to modify the settings(like port mapping, xed IP, DDNS,
virtual server) of the NAT/router devices, it’s just a plug & play usage.
So, the dierences are the followings:
• Public IP address needed ? No
• Dynamic DNS needed ? No
• Port mapping in router? No
• Virtual server in router ? No
• UPnP support in router ? No
• What’s needed ? ID and Password

2. Hardware description and quick installation/usage
The Video server is designed to be very easy to install and use. First, let’s see the major components of the
Video server products.
2.1. Major hardware components.
The major components on the front panel of the video server products are the video in, video out, line in
and reset button :
1. Video in – for connecting to the CCTV camera.
2. Video out – for connecting to CCTV monitor or DVR recorder.
3. Line in – for receiving the audio signal. The signal is a biased signal.
4. Reset button – this is the button to reset the Video server to default factory settings. You need to use
a small stick like pencil or tooth stick to press the reset button for more than 4 seconds to enable the
reset function. Usually when you forgot the administrator account, you will probably need to do this
reset action to reset to the default factory settings. Please refer to section 3.18 for more details.
Figure 2-1: Major components in the front panel

Second, Connect the video server product to the home/oce network
Please connect the video server product to the home network or oce network through an Ethernet cable.
Usually, this Ethernet cable is plugged into a home NAT/router device or an Ethernet switch if in the oce,
as shown in Figure 2-2. Since the default settings of the video server product use DHCP function and very
often there is a DHCP server on most of the Home/oce network, the video server product should be
connected to the Internet immediately. The Internet status LED is constant red light to indicate this good
connection status. If the LED is blinking, please refer to section 3.3~3.4 to try other network settings.
Figure 2-2: Connect architecture of the video server product.
