2. Accessing the Camera

Follow the instructions in the IP Camera Installation Guide to install the camera. This IP Camera can be
accessed on most standard operating systems and web browsers. For the best performance, Windows 7
and Internet Explorer 9 (32bit) is recommended.
2.1 Access from a Browser
1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer 9 32 bit recommended).
2. Enter the IP address or host name of the IP Camera in the Location/Address field of the browser and
press Enter.
3. A dialog box will pop up to Log-In. The default user name is ADMIN and the default password is
1234.
4. The IP Camera’s Live View will now be displayed on the web browser.
Note: The layout of the live view page for the IP Camera may have been customized to meet specific requirements.
Consequently, some of the examples and functions featured here may differ from a user’s experience.
2.2 Accessing the IP Camera from the Internet
Once installed, the IP Camera is accessible on the Local Area Network (LAN). Configure the
router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic to access the IP Camera from the Internet. For security
reasons, this is usually done through a specific port. Please refer to the router/firewall documentation for
further information and instructions.
2.3 Adjusting the Image
To adjust the position of the lens:

1. Open the Live View page in a web browser. Select the Setup tab and open the Installation page.
Select Video Format.
2. Connect an analog monitor to the Video Out with a BNC cable. Use the image to confirm the
camera is position properly.
3. Check and confirm the image is set as desired on the Lenz Adjustment in Live View page.

2.5 Video Stream Types
H.264 Protocols and Communication Methods:
oReal-time Transport Protocol (RTP): RTP is a protocol that allows programs to manage the real-
time transmission of multimedia data, via unicast or multicast.
oReal Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP): RTSP serves as a control protocol to negotiate the type of
transport protocol to use for the stream. RTSP is used by a viewing client to start a unicast session.
oUser Datagram Protocol (UDP): UDP is a communications protocol that offers limited service for
exchanging data in a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP). UDP is an alternative to the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The advantage of UDP is that it is not required to deliver all
data and may drop network packets when there is network congestion. This is suitable for live video
as there is no point in re-transmitting old information that will not be displayed anyway.
oUnicasting: Unicasting is communication between a single sender and a single receiver over a
network. This means that the video stream goes independently to each user and each user gets a
personal stream. A benefit of unicasting is if one stream fails it only affects one user.
oMulticasting: Multicasting is a bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces bandwidth usage by
simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to multiple network recipients. This
technology is used primarily on delimited networks (intranets) as each user needs an uninterrupted
data flow and should not rely on network routers.
2.6 How to Stream H.264
Deciding on the combination of protocols and methods to use depends on user viewing requirements a
local network properties. Setting the preferred method(s) is done on the Setup page.
oRTP+RTSP: This method (actually RTP over UDP and RTSP over TCP) should be the first
consideration for live video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to-date video
stream, even if some of the images are lost due to network problems. This can be configured as
unicast or multicast.
oRTP/RTSP/Multicasting: This provides the most efficient use of bandwidth, especially when there
are large numbers of clients connecting simultaneously. Note, however, that a multicast broadcast
cannot pass a network router unless the router is configured to allow this. For example, it is
impossible to multicast over the Internet.
oRTP/RTSP/Unicasting: This should be used for video-on-demand broadcasting so that there is no
video traffic on the network until a client connects and requests the stream. However, as more and
more unicasts clients connect, the traffic on the network will increase and may cause congestion.
Although there is a maximum of 8 unicast viewers, note that all multicast viewers combined count
as 1 unicast viewer.
oRTP/RTSP: This unicast method is RTP tunneled over RTSP. This could be used to exploit the fact
that it is relatively simple to configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.

3. Setup
Administrators with unrestricted access can configure the IP Camera in the web browser through the
Setup tab.
3.1 Analog Output
Toggle the Analog Output ON to connect via BNC output or toggle OFF and click SAVE.
[Not all IP Cameras have an Analog Output]
3.2 Video
3.2.1 Codec
These are tools to control the camera network streams, adjust network stream video quality settings,
and control the video bit rate.
oCodec: H.264 and MJPEG are supported. Both streams cannot be set to MJPEG. Note that
NONE is also a selection for the 2nd Stream.

H.264 is a video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth and which
can provide high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s. The H.264 standard
provides scope for a large range of different coding tools for use by various
applications in different situations, and the IP Camera provides certain subsets of
these tools. Using H.264, it is also possible to control the bit rate, which in turn
allows the amount of bandwidth usage to be controlled.
oSize: Video output resolution.
oFrame Rate (FPS): Choose the number of image frames per second, from 1-30fps in
normal mode or 1-15fps when slow shutter mode is enabled. If slow shutter mode is enabled
and the low light condition is met, the frame rate automatically goes down to half of the
normal mode setting.
oGOP Size: The GOP Size can be set from 1-60 frames.
oBit-rate Control: When using H.264 compression, if there is only a limited amount of
bandwidth available a constant bit-rate (CBR) is recommended, although this may
compromise image quality. Use a variable bit-rate (VBR) for the best possible image quality.
oAverage Bit-rate: Can be set from 512Kbps-10Mbps.
Recommended bit-rate for D1: 800Kbps-1Mbps
Recommended bit-rate for 1.3M (720p): 3Mpbs-4Mbps
Recommended bit-rate for 2M (1080p): 6Mbps-8Mbps
oMJPEG Quality: If a stream is set to use the MJPEG compression codec, the quality of the
MJPEG codec can be set from 1-100, where 100 is the highest quality.
oBoost Quality: If Boost Quality is set to ON, the Boost FPS and Boost GOP Size can be set.
If there is motion in the camera’s field, the image quality will increase using these settings.
oAnti-Flicker Mode: Set to 60Hz for NTSC, or 50Hz for PAL. For usage when the camera is
installed in locations lit by fluorescent lighting.
oVideo Mirroring: Choose NONE for no video mirroring, HORIZONTAL for horizontal
video mirroring, VERTICAL for vertical video mirroring, or FLIP for horizontal and vertical
video mirroring.
oBandwidth Limit: If set to ON, the maximum bandwidth can be set from 1000Kbps-30Mbps.

3.2.2 Camera
This section allows various camera settings to be adjusted.
oExposure Control:
Exposure Mode: Set to AUTO for automatic exposure control, or MANUAL to
control the camera exposure manually.
AGC Gain: If Exposure Mode is set to MANUAL, AGC Gain can be set from 0-
28dB. For low light conditions, adjust to a higher value.
e-Shutter Speed: If Exposure Mode is set to MANUAL, e-Shutter Speed can be set
from 1/30-1/10000.
Slow Shutter: Can be turned on for low light conditions; can be set to x2, x4, or x8.
MAX AGC: Max Automatic Gain Control can be set to LOW, or HIGH.
BLC Control: Back Light Compensation control. This adjusts the exposure of
scenes with strong backlight in the center-bottom of the image. When the image
background is too bright or the subject is too dark, backlight compensation makes the
subject appear clearer. The settings for low light behavior determine how the camera
behaves at low light levels. These settings affect video image quality and how much
noise is in the images. This can be set to ON, or OFF.
WDR: Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows for different objects at
different exposures to be viewed in the same scene (ex; one object in a bright area
and one in a dark area). When WDR is activated the FPS setting will automatically
drop by fifty percent. ON(Histogram): The video image is analyzed via histogram to
