5.3 Professional Jargon Explanations of the OSD Menu

There are some professional jargons or nouns which are shown in the OSD menu
of the PTC-140NDI camera, please refer to this section for realizing those jargons.

 Speed by Zoom: When this function is turned “ON”, at the time when the

zoom-in/zoom out is beginning or it is about to reach the zoom-in/zoom­out limit or users want to stop zooming in/zooming out, the zoom-in/zoom­out speed of the camera lens will be reduced linearly. When this function is
turned “OFF”, the zoom-in/zoom-out speed will be consistent no matter
when the camera zoom-in is started or stopped.

 Joystick Pan Dir：Because the PTC-140NDI can use the upside down

installation, if this option is set as “Positive”, the PTZ camera lens moving

direction will be consistent to the direction which is selection by the remote
controller. If this option is set as “Negative”, the PTZ camera lens moving
direction will be reverse to the direction which is selected by the remote
controller.

 Joystick Tilt Dir ：Because the PTC-140NDI can use the upside down

installation, if this option is set as “Positive”, the PTZ camera lens moving
direction will be consistent to the direction which is selection by the remote

controller. If this option is set as “Negative”, the PTZ camera lens moving

direction will be reverse to the direction which is selected by the remote
controller.

 Flip-H: This is the “Horizontal Flipping”. When “ON” is selected, the screen

which is shot by the camera will flip horizontally. If “OFF” is selected, the

screen will be shown in normal direction.

 Flip-V: This is the “Vertical Flipping”. When “ON” is selected, the screen

which is shot by the camera will flip vertically. If “OFF” is selected, the

screen will be shown in normal direction.

7. Network Connection

Ethernet Cable

192.168.5.X

192.168.5.163

The Ethernet port on the back panel of your PTC-140NDI allows you to connect to
camera from the PC/Laptop with Static or dynamic IP addresses. To access and
modify these network settings, you will need to login to the camera’s web
interface.

If this is your first time using the device, please note that the camera’s default IP
address is 192.168.5.163.

Set up direct connection between the camera and your PC/laptop as depicted in
the diagram below; remember to manually assign an IP address of 192.168.5.X to
your PC/laptop.

On your PC/laptop, open a web browser and in the address bar, enter the
camera’s default IP address, 192.168.5.163 then press the ENTER key which
should take you to login page of the web interface.

39

The default login credentials are:

 User Name: admin
 Password: admin

After you have successfully login to the web interface, click “Configuration” 
“Ethernet” to open the network settings page on which you should be able to see
a list of options allowing you to set the camera’s connection mode to DHCP or

static IP.

In this chapter, we will show you how to enable DHCP and Static IP modes on
PTC-140NDI in two separate sections.

Note: To log out of the web interface, simply click “Logout” at the top right
corner of the page.

7.1 DHCP Mode

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a
server to automatically assign an IP address to a network device from a defined
range of numbers configured for a given network. The diagram below illustrates a
DHCP network connection example.

40

In order to enable the camera’s DHCP mode, simply check the DHCP checkbox to
allow the router to dynamically assign an IP address to PTC-140NDI.

Click “Save” button to save the new settings then reboot PTC-140NDI.

41

7.2 Static IP

A static IP address is a fixed address manually assigned to PTC-140NDI. First
uncheck the DHCP checkbox then enter an IP address for the camera, the subnet
mask and the gateway IP.

Note: Never assign an address that ends in .0 or .255 as these addresses are
typically reserved for network protocols. An address to the very start of the IP
pool is also not recommended as it is always reserved for the router.

After you’ve configured the camera’s static IP, click “Save” button to save the

new settings then reboot PTC-140NDI.

7.3 DVIP

DVIP is a special network configuration software tool designed for DVIP device
search on the same network and configuring device network settings such as
Hostname, DHCP mode, IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, and primary and
secondary DNS.

Depending on your operating system, download DVIP Configuration Tool from
the respective sites listed as follows:

PC: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/dvip-network-

config/9p6gtz839k6s?activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab

en_US

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/dvip-network-config/id1177895983?mt=8

After you’ve installed the DVIP Network Configuration Tool, follow the steps

outlined below to scan for online DVIP devices and configure their corresponding
settings.

42

Step 1: Open the DVIP Network Configuration Tool and then select the connected

Ethernet option from the “Network interface” pop-up window. After that
please press the “OK” button.

Step 2: After the Network interface is selected, the DVIP Network Configuration

Tool interface will be shown as following diagram.

43

Step 3: Please press “HOST NAME” and then the network settings pop-up window

will be shown.

44

Step 4: users can click “Host Name” column for changing the device name. Users

can also click each setting column for changing value if it is needed. After that,

please press “Save” for saving those settings. Users can also press “Default” for

resuming those settings to factory default value.

storage space. VBR takes longer to
encode but produces the most
favorable results as the quality of the
media file is superior.

Image Quality

The default image quality for the main
stream is “Best.”

The default image quality for the sub

stream is “Better.”

53

Bit Rate

A bitrate is the amount of data
required to encode a single second of
video. From a streaming perspective,
the higher the bitrate, the higher the
quality, and the more bandwidth it will
require.

The default bit rate for the main
stream is “4096 Kb/s.”

The default bit rate for the sub stream

is “512 Kb/s.”

Frame Rate

Higher frame rate will result in smooth
video viewing experience. The frame
rate is 25 by default.

I Frame Interval

A shorter I Frame Interval results
higher quality video but consumes
more network bandwidth. On the
other hand if longer I Frame Interval is
set, less bandwidth will be required but
it will result in lower video quality. I
frame interval is 75 by default.

I Frame Min QP

A low QP value means less
compression but higher video quality.
