1Introduction
This IP-CAMERA (short for IP-CAM) is designed for high performance CCTV solutions. It
adopts state of the art video processing chips. It utilizes most advanced technologies, such as
video encoding and decoding technology, complies with the TCP/IP protocol, SoC, etc to
ensure this system more stable and reliable. This unit consists of two parts: the IP-CAM
device and central management software (short for CMS). The CMS centralizes all devices
together via internet or LAN and establishes a sound surveillance system to realize unified
management and remote operation to all devices in one network.
This product is widely used in banks, telecommunication systems, electricity power
departments, law systems, factories, storehouses, uptowns, etc. In addition, it is also an ideal
choice for surveillance sites with middle or high risks.
Main Features
ICR auto switch, true day/night
H.265/H.264 Compression
3D DNR, digital WDR
ROI coding
Support CVBS output
Support MIC in/out
Support alarm in/out
Support RS485 Output
PoE power supply
Manual Vari-focal lens
Support smart phone, iPad, remote monitoring

2IE Remote Access
You may connect IP-Cam via LAN or WAN. Here only take IE browser (6.0) for example.
The details are as follows:
2.1 LAN
In LAN, there are two ways to access IP-Cam: 1. Access through IP-Tool; 2. Directly access
through IE browser.
2.1.1 Access through IP-Tool
①Make sure the PC and IP-Cam are connected to the LAN and the IP-Tool is installed in the
PC from the CD.

③Modify the IP address. The default IP address of this camera is 192.168.226.201. Click the
information of the camera listed in the above table to show the network information on the
right hand. Modify the IP address and gateway of the camera and make sure its network
address is in the same local network segment as the computer’s. Please modify the IP address
of your device according to the practical situation.
For example, the IP address of your computer is 192.168.13.4. So the IP address of the camera
shall be changed to 192.168.13.X. After modification, please input the password of the

Page 3

Select “Property” and then select internet protocol according to the actual situation (for
example: IPV4). Next, click “Property” button to set the network of the PC.
②Open the IE browser and input the default address of IP-CAM and confirm. The IE
browser will download Active X control automatically.
③After downloading Active X control, the login dialog box will pop up.
④Input the default username and password and then enter to view.
2.2 WAN
Take access the camera by the router or virtual server for example
①Make sure the camera is well connected via LAN and then log in the camera via LAN and

IP CAMERA USER MANUAL
4.2.1 Camera Configuration
Setting steps:
1. Go to “Video Configuration”“Camera”interface as shown below.
2. You may adjust brightness, contrast, hue and saturation of the picture.
3. Select white balance mode.

4.2.2 Video Stream
Go to “Video configuration”“Video Stream”to see an interface as shown below.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more
storage room will be taken up.
Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video
resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording.
VBR means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the

Page 12
IP CAMERA USER MANUAL
video resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the
image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is over high, the
read speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.
Video encoding profile: Baseline, main profile and high profile are optional. Baseline profile
is mainly used in interactive application with low complexity and delay. Main or high profile
is mainly used for higher coding requirement.
Alarm picture size: Please select it according to the actual situation.
Video encode slice split: If enabled, you may get more fluency image even though using the
low-performance PC.
4.2.3 OSD Configuration
