3.3. CAMERA SETUP
A. Camera Setup
BNC Input: Set up different BNC inputs to assign different cameras to be
displayed on different channels. 960H or D1 is for analog cameras and aHD is
for aHD cameras. You can either assign all channels to import the same types of
signal, or have 2 channels to import signal different to the other 2.
Page 26

a. IP Cam Setup
(Caution: ONLY channel 1 & 2 supports IP Cam operations.)
a-1. IP Cam Quick Search
Page 27
27
Click IPCam Quick Search, then click Search Device. The DVR will search for any IP
CAM device that is in connection of the DVR network. Clicking on the IP Cam from the
list will import the device information to the channel without any manual key-in step.
The IP Cam has to be under the same LAN with DVR in order to be successfully
connected. Ex. If the DVR IP address is 192.168.10.33, the IP Cam IP address
should be 192.168.10.X. You can edit the IP address of the IP Cam by clicking Edit.
Click Save to confirm the change.
a-2. Normal Mode
1. Enable: Choose “Normal Mode”
2. IP Address：Insert the IP address of the connecting device.
3. Port：Insert the port number of the connecting device. Default port: 80
Page 28

4. User：Insert the user name of the connecting device.
5. Password：Insert the password of the connecting device.
6. State：After clicking the “connect IP CAM” button to test the IP CAM
device, the connection state will reveal among this column.
a-3. ONVIF Mode
The camera device supports connection under the service of ONVIF
protocol, but does not support PTZ functions.
a-4. RSTP Mode
Under RTSP Mode, aHD DVR only supports IP address indication, live
video, and video recording. Other functions like motion detection are not
supported.
Page 29
29
Key-in the IP address, port, username, and password of the device you are
connecting to the DVR. You can find the information on the IP Camera.
To link to the IP camera, check the RTSP Path settings of your IP camera,
and key-in the corresponding values of two streams in “RTSP Path 1” and
“RTSP Path 2”.
Note: When you select RTSP mode, make sure the substream resolution
of camera is VGA (640x480), otherwise you will receive a warning
message when you try to connect to the camera:
Examples of some RTSP settings:
RTSP Path 1

a-5. Attached
This function allows users to set up the channel as an attached channel.
Page 31
31
An attached channel is based on a normal/ RTSP channel that has been
set up, and can display the same live view as the normal/ RTSP channel.
The attached channel is not physically linked to any camera, so it does not
actually increase the bandwidth loading. Therefore, the users cannot setup
motion detection or image adjustment on the attached channel either.
1. Enable: Choose “Attached”.
2. Attached Channel: Assign a normal/ RTSP IP camera channel.
3. Ratio: Adjust the zoom ratio with left and right arrows, and click on the
red frame to drag it to the area where you want to show on the live view.
