2Network Configuration
Connect IP-Cam via LAN or WAN. Here only take IE browser 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
Network connection:
①Make sure the PC and IP-Cam are connected to the local network and the IP-Tool is installed
in the PC from the CD.
②Double click the IP-Tool icon on the desktop to run this software as shown below:
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.

3
Network Camera User Manual
For example, the IP address of your computer is 192.168.1.4. So the IP address of the camera
shall be changed to 192.168.1.X. After modification, please enter the password of the
administrator and click the “Modify” button to modify the setting.

④ Double click the IP address and then the system will pop up the IE browser to connect
IP-CAM. Follow directions to download, install and run the Active X control.
Enter the username and password in the login window to log in.

The default password of the administrator is “123456”.
The default username is “admin”; the default password is “123456”.

In the “Basic Information” interface, the system information of the device is listed.
Some versions may support device ID and QR code. Having been enabled P2P (see Network
Configuration-P2P), the network camera can be quickly added to mobile surveillance client,
by scanning the QR code or entering device ID.
4.1.2 Date and Time
Go to ConfigSystemDate and Time. Please refer to the following interface.

12

recorded videos on the local PC. There is also an option to enable or disable the bitrate
display in the recorded files.
For the model with built-in MIC, there is also an option to enable or disable audio recording.
4.2 Image Configuration
Image Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI Config.
4.2.1 Display Configuration
Go to ImageDisplay interface as shown below. The image’s brightness, contrast, hue and
saturation and so on for common, day and night mode can be set up separately. The image effect
can be quickly seen by switching the configuration file.

13
Network Camera User Manual
Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image.
Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts.
Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.
Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color is, the brighter the image is.
WDR: WDR can adjust the camera to provide a better image when there are both very bright
and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering the brightness of the
bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area. Recording will be stopped for a few
seconds while the mode is changing from non-WDR to WDR mode.
Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image
edge.
Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the
value will make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image resolution.
Defog: Activating this function and setting an appropriate value as needed in foggy, dusty,
smoggy or rainy environment to get clear images.
Backlight Compensation:
Off: disables the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.
HLC: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of the
image’s bright area and reducing the size of the halo area.
BLC: If enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the object
of the image in the darkest area will be seen clearly.
Antiflicker:

14
Network Camera User Manual
Off: disables the anti-flicker function. This is used mostly in outdoor installations.
50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
Day/night Mode: Please choose the mode as needed.
Sensitivity: High, middle and low can be selected for switching back and forth from day to
night modes.
Infrared Mode: Choose “ON”, “OFF” and “Auto” (Some models may not support the
infrared mode).
Exposure Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed
can be adjusted.
Image Mirror: Turn the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: Turn the current video image vertically.
Schedule Settings of Image Parameters:
Click the “Schedule” tab as shown below.
Set full time schedule for common, day, night mode and specified time schedule for day and
night. Choose “Timing” in the drop-down box of schedule as shown below.
Drag “ ” icons to set the time of day and night. Blue means day time and blank means night
time. If the current mode of camera parameters is set to schedule, the image configuration
mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the schedule.
4.2.2 Video Configuration
Go to ImageVideo interface as shown below. In this interface, set the resolution, frame rate,
bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.

15
Network Camera User Manual
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the video is smoother.
Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that
no matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept
constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according to scene changes.
For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower
value. This can help optimize the network bandwidth usage.
Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the better the
image quality will be.
Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image quality,
the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of pictures”.
When a new scene begins in a video, until that scene ends, the entire group of frames (or
pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much movement in the scene,
setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially resulting in less bandwidth
usage. However, if the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of movement in the
video, there is a risk of frame skipping.
Video Compression: H264 and H265 are optional. If H.265 is chosen, make sure the client
system is able to decode H.265.
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: How many snapshots to generate for an event.
Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, more fluent image can be gotten even
though using the low-performance PC.
Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the
watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check the watermark box and enter the watermark
text.
For the model with built-in MIC, audio encoding and type can be set. Click the “Audio” tab to
go to the interface as shown below.
