Training Videos
For additional information and training, watch the training videos included on the
software CD. To access the training videos on the disc, insert the included software
disc on your PC or HVR/NVR, click Resources, and then click Training Videos to
view the list of available videos.
Technical Information
This section provides the details of the Installation and Configuration
utility’s settings:
Cameras
All OpenEye IP cameras are initially assigned a static IP address. A dynamic
IP address will change over time and may cause connection and configuration
problems so OpenEye recommends using a static IP address.
Factory assigned camera IP addresses are 192.168.55.3 through 192.168.55.10
IP settings on the recorder
The installation wizard on the included disc assigns a static IP address to the
recorder. The installation wizard will ask you to select your installation. If you select
Type A: Standalone Installation, the wizard will assign the recorder the static IP
address 192.168.55.2. If you select Type B: Additional Network Connections,
the installation wizard will assign a secondary IP address of 192.168.55.2 for
communication with the cameras.
Caution: Changing the IP settings to DHCP will remove the secondary IP
address and the NVR will not be able to communicate with the cameras.
Server software settings
The installation wizard on the included disc adds all cameras to the device list and
assigns the cameras to channels 1-4 or 1-8. This configuration will overwrite any
existing configuration on the recorder.
Glossary
Bandwidth A measure of communication resources. In
networking, this refers to the amount of data transferred (or the
amount of data that can be transferred). This is expressed in bits
per second as a bit rate.
Bit Rate Describes the speed of video transmission. This data
transfer rate is the number of bits that are transmitted per
second.
Cat5 Category 5 cable is a twisted pair high signal integrity cable
style used for computer networks, and is also used to carry other
signals such as telephony and video.
Cat5e Category 5e cable (or Category 5 Enhanced) is network
cable made of four pairs of cables twisted together. Cat 5e is
designed to support gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Cat6 Category 6 cable is network cable that has higher performance specifications
than Cat5e. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e, but is
designed for use in higher speed networks.
Codec Codec stands for Compressor /Decompressor and refers to any technology
that compresses or decompresses data. In the CCTV industry, data refers to
video, still images, and sometimes audio. There are three main codecs used in the
industry: MJPEG, H.264 and MPEG4.
DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System is a service that automatically re-routs
internet traffic from a domain name (like www.openeye.net) to a specific IP
address. By default, most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will periodically change
the external IP address. With DDNS, an unchanging name is used in place of the
changing IP address, so that the same information can be used for connection
regardless of the current IP address.
Ethernet Ethernet is the standard that defines how devices in a local network
(LAN) communicate. Network cable is often referred to as Ethernet cable. There
are two basic types of Ethernet cable used in today’s high speed networks: Cat5e
and Cat6.
External IP Address An External, or public, IP Address is an IP address that is
reachable on the internet. Most local, residential and office networks have only
one public IP address that is seen from outside the network.
