Getting Started 2

Chapter 2 Getting Started

2.1 Looking Up the IP Address

By default, your GV-IP Speed Dome is assigned with an unused IP address by the DHCP

server when the camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains unchanged

unless you unplug or disconnect your camera from the network.

Note: If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. In

this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict with

other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. To change the IP address, see Changing the IP

Address later in this section.

Follow the steps below to check out the GV-IP Speed Dome’s IP address:

1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program from the Software CD.

Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the

camera you wish to configure.

2. On the PC desktop, select Start, point to Programs and select GV IP Device Utility to

execute the program. The GV IP Device Utility window appears and automatically

searches for the GV IP devices on the same LAN.

Figure 2-1

3. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

Figure 2-2

4. Find the Mac Address of the camera to see its IP address.

Changing the IP Address

To modify the static IP address or set the camera to a public dynamic IP address, log in the

Web interface to access the network setting page.

1. Open your web browser, and type in the IP address.

• For static network connection, type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10

• For DHCP connection, follow steps in 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address to look up the

current IP address.

2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply.

3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network settings. This page

appears.

Figure 2-3

Getting Started 2

4. Select Dynamic IP address, Static IP address or PPPoE and type the required network

information.

5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned IP address on the

web browser.

Important:

1. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address via PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS

Service to obtain a domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP address first. For

details on Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE, see 5.7.2 Advanced TCP/IP and 5.7.1 LAN

Configuration.

2. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled and you cannot access the camera, you

may have to reset it to the factory default and then perform the network settings again.

To restore the factory settings, see 6.3 Restoring to Factory Default Settings.

2.2 Accessing Your Surveillance Images

Follow these steps to access your surveillance images:

1. Open the Internet Explorer browser.

2. Enter the IP address or domain name of the GV-IP Speed Dome in the Location/Address

field of your browser. To look up the IP address, see 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address.

Figure 2-4

3. Enter the login name and password. The administrator account has unrestricted access to

all the features and function. The guest account is restricted to accessing live view and

network status information.

• The default login name and password for Administrator are admin.

• The default login name and password for Guest are guest.

4. A video image, similar to the example in Figure 3-1, is now displayed on your browser.

Note: To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a once-only installation of GeoVision’s ActiveX component onto your computer.

5.1 Video & Motion

The GV-IP Speed Dome supports dual streams, Streaming 1 and Streaming 2, which allow

separate codec and resolutions settings for a single video transmission. In a

bandwidth-limited network, such as mobile phone surveillance, this dual-stream feature

allows you to view live video in lower resolution and codec (Streaming 2), and record in

highest resolution 1920 x 1080 and codec H.264 (Streaming 1) at the same time.

Comparison between Stream 1 and Stream 2:

[Bandwidth Management]

When using the H.264 codec, it is possible to configure the bitrate settings to control

bandwidth usage.

 VBR (Variable Bitrate): The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible at

the cost of a varying bitrate. The bandwidth is much more efficiently used than a

comparable CBR. Set the image quality to one of the 5 standards: Standard, Fair, Good,

Great and Excellent.

 Maximal Bit Rate: When the system bitrate exceeds the specified Maximal Bit Rate, the

system will automatically lower its bitrate so as not to exceed it. Select one of the bitrates

from the drop-down list or select Auto if you do not want to enable this function. By

default, the Maximal Bit Rate is 10 Mbit.

 CBR (Constant Bitrate): CBR is used to achieve a specific bitrate by varying the quality

of the stream. The bitrates available for selection depend on the image resolution.

[GOP Structure and Length]

Set the maximum number of seconds between every key frame. The default is 1 (second).

[Record Settings]
