1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Welcome

This manual explains how to interface with the H.264 codec supporting IP camera series using
the Microsoft® Internet Explorer web browser. The Web Page of the product has been
implemented with the protocols below:

 HTTP API – Parameter configuration commands
 RTP/RTSP – Video, Audio, and Metadata Streaming
 Active X program – Image display on client PC

1.2. Getting Started

Before utilizing the web interface, install and connect the camera and other physical devices.
Refer to the hardware manual supplied with your SDK for the product installation steps. The
installation manual provides detailed information for installation and configuration of the
device.

1.3. IP Address Setting

How to find the IP Address of your device:

The product has its unique IP address, and users can identify the address by converting the
MAC address’ last two sets of hexadecimal numbers described on the sticker that is attached
to the device. Refer to the following figure and check how to convert a MAC address to an IP
address. Type the identified IP address in the address bar of the Internet Explorer to access the
web page of the product.

MAC address = 00-13-23-01-23-45 → IP address = 192.168.35.69

Convert the last two sets of hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers.

How to change the default IP address:

IPAdminTool software allows users to search and change the IP address of connected devices.
The figure below shows a main UI of the IPAdminTool. The IPAdminTool helps to search
multiple devices. Please refer to the ‘IPAdminTool User’s Mangual.pdf’ for the detailed
information and its usage.

What is IPAdminTool?

IPAdminTool automatically scans all of the products including encoders and cameras on the
network and displays product’s information, including product name, IP address, MAC address,
firmware information, and devices’ uptime. The tool also allows user to change the IP address
or update the firmware. ‘IPAdminTool User’s Manual.pdf ’is available in the SDK (\DOC) folder,
and it is highly recommended for user to review before using this tool for better understanding
of the software functions and administration controls.

well as manual position options.

Note

i

It is recommended to use normalized X, Y instead of predefined positions (left-top,
left-bottom, right-top, right-bottom) for the burnt-in text positions. Selecting
same predefined positions on all three categories may cause overlapping texts,
depending on image resolution or the position of each text. Utilizing PREVIEW is
highly encouraged to review the selected positions of those burnt-in texts.

the address in the blank.

Note

i

RTP multicast is not allowed for streaming even if the address and the port
information are known.

How does auto configuration of IP address works?

As the session name for each RTP session is defined already on the server, your PC can get the
stream by the ‘rtsp:// rtsp server ipaddress : port / rtp session name’ without the manual
decision of IP address on the webpage.

49

Port

Set the port number used for router to receive the streaming data from the product (No need
for unicast). ‘18888’ is set for video data of 1st stream and ‘28888’ is for video data of 2nd
stream.

TTL

Set the TTL value. If you set 1 for TTL, it means the packet will pass only in a subnet (No need
for unicast).

What is TTL?

It’s the abbreviation of Time to live. If data is sent out from the encoder via network and all of
the packets are alive permanently on the network, it will cause the big network load. TTL helps
to reduce the network load by controlling the time of staying on network. For example, if you
set the TTL as 50, the data will be deleted after passing by 50 routers.

Note

i

All other options are the same as the Unicast.
