Assigning IP Address to the device

The iMege device discovery tool is a utility provided for searching iMege network video devices in a network.
It can also manage the IP assignment for multiple devices. This is useful when bulk network setting of the
network devices is required.

When IP camera is correctly installed in a network, it can be searched by the tool. The steps of applying this
search tool are as below.

1. Launch iMege Discovery Tool (iMegeDiscover.exe). The tool will start searching and then displaying
the cameras on the Device List after they are found.

2. Check the box to select a camera device from the list. The following operations will be applied on it.

3. The selected camera may have been assigned a valid IP address via DHCP server. It can also be
manually given an IP address. To do so, click on “Set IP” button. In the pop-up “Set IP” window, input
the IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway. Input account info if camera is password protected.

4. Click on the “Browse” button. This will launch an IE browser and link to the camera web page
immediately.

8

Discovering devices in Windows Network

If the IP camera is installed in a network with DHCP and UPnP services, after obtaining an IP address from
DHCP server, it can then be discovered in “Windows Network” of a client PC, see figure below. The reason for
being automatically discovered is that the IP camera’s UPnP is default enabled (see Network



Network

Connectivity).

NOTE

The term “Windows Network” in given figure above is used in Windows Vista / 7. It can be referred to
Windows XP’s “My Network Places” which possesses the same capability of discovering UPnP
devices.

To identify the camera from the listed devices in “Network”, utilize the UPnP name (e.g. iMege) and the
device’s MAC address. This MAC address can be found on the label, see figure below.

Right-click on the device and select “Properties”, the pop-up window shows all the inform ation related to the
device, including the web access info. Use the web address to connect to the IP camera. Or simply double­click on the selected device, which gets immediately access to the camera webpage.

9

ActiveX add-on Installation

The access to the camera webpage for the first time will be prompted to install the ActiveX. This installation is
essential for viewing live video via IE browser. To allow the installation, click on the message bar and select
“Install This Add-on for All Users on This Computer….”.

Continue the following instructions until the ActiveX is completely installed. The IE browser can then display
the live video of the IP camera as below figure.

10

NOTE

If, however, there is not any prompted message or ActiveX can not be installed at all, change the IE
security level and settings. In IE  Internet Options  Security  Custom level, make sure the
“Download signed ActiveX controls” setting is “Enable” or “Prompt” selected.

11

Accessing the camera

video is displayed with QuickTime player.

12

3. NVR / CMS Software

Some software (NVR / CMS) vendors may have announced the integration with this camera model. In
this case, the software is able to retrieve the video from the camera for both live displaying and
recording. For detailed support information and operation, please contact the software vendors for
further instructions.

NOTE
The camera supports three simultaneous video streaming (see Video & Audio



Video Setting). To
gain access to the camera for each video stream, the RTSP path will be required. The default paths
for the 3 streams are “stream1”, “stream2”, and “stream3”. The URL would be like below.

Stream1: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream1
Stream2: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream2
Stream3: rtsp://Camera_IP/stream3

Video

This section describes how to configure the video streaming of the device, and the related camera image
configurations. Users with Administrator or Operator authority (see System



User Management) would

intend doing these configurations.

Click on “Setup” to enter the configuration pages.

There are 2 subdirectories in “Video” for detailed settings of each function:

 Camera Setting
 Video Setting

19

Camera Setting

Image Setting

Brightness: the luminance of image view. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.
Contrast: the ratio of luminance of white to black. Default value is 8; adjustable from 0 to 16.
Saturation: colorfulness of a color related to its own brightness. Default value is 8, adjustable from 0

to 16.
Sharpness: refer to image acutance, which presents in the edges contrast of an image. Default value
is 8, adjustable from 0 to 16.

The 4 correlates are referring image appearance in terms of color/vision that are adjustable according
to user preferences.

Video Orientation: change the image orientation. Mirror, rotate the image horizontally. Flip, rotate
the image vertically. These operations are usually applied when camera must be installed in an
exceptional position, e.g. ceiling, so camera must be upside-down installed.

Day/Night

Switch the video images for Day (plenty of light) or Night (Low light) scene. In “Auto” mode, camera
will switch to Day or Night vision according to the light intensity.

The switching of Day/Night modes will switch image to Color / Mono. In day mode, true color image
is provided. When camera enters night mode, The image color is switched to B/W (Mono mode).

20

Advanced Setting

AC Frequency: Anti-flicker setting for environment with fluorescent light sources, image sensor

needs to fit the frequency of light (power) source. For instance, the power frequency is 50Hz for most
European countries, while 60Hz is typically for US. This setting is therefore regionally different.

White Balance: the selections for different lightening condition, which is refereeing to color
temperature.

IRIS Mode: Enable auto IRIS mode when DC-Iris lens is installed. System will enable auto exposure
and gain control.

Environment: Select an environmental lightening. This gives an overall exposure condition.
Flicker-less Mode: flickering can also present in various exposure level. Set “Flickerless” Mode “On”

to fix the maximum shutter speed (auto exposure control). Thus, the flickers can be eliminated.
Exposure & Gain Mode: Select auto / manual Exposure & Gain control mode. The selection defines

the controlling in a range of or fixed value, according to the following two items (Shutter Speed and

Gain Value). The configurations will be limited at selected maximum rates when AUTO mode is on.
(Max.) Shutter Speed: referring to exposure time. Higher shutter speed is normally applied under

strong light circumstance, so the image won’t be overexposure. Lower shutter speed, on the other
hand keeps image luminance in low light environment.

(Max.) Gain Value: the amplification factor for the incoming light. Increasing the gain value provides a
brighter image, but the noises may also be increased.

BLC: Enable this function for image objects under backlight circumstances.
Exposure Level: Adjust Exposure level for a target exposure time that is the amount of light allowed

for the image sensor.

NOTE

The “Shutter Speed”, “Gain Value” and “BLC” can be configured for daytime and nighttime. The
configurations will be applied according to the current status of “Day/Night Mode“.

21

Video Setting

Video Stream

This tab provides detailed stream configurations. These settings can affect video size, quality. The
maximum transmission performance can be expected under the condition of full network bandwidth.

The camera supports up to 3 video streams. Each stream can be configured with following items.

Video Format: H.264, MPEG4 and MJPEG are available for the selection. The demand of bandwidth
and storage requirement differs from the selection of video format. In the request of same video
quality, H.264 contributes to less bandwidth and storage requirement, which can be more efficient
than MPEG4 or MJPEG.

Resolution: The resolution here describes an image size counted in width by height, e.g. 1280x720,
referring to pixel resolution. The maximum resolution available for Stream1 is 1920x1080, and other
resolutions down to 320x180. Stream2 and Stream3 is available from 800x450 to 320x180.

Frame Rate: configure the maximum frame rate in video streaming. Higher frame rate gives a better
video in terms of smoothly moving objects/scenes. However, this would result in higher bandwidth and
storage requirement.

22

Intra Frame Period: is applied only in MPEG4 / H.264 which the video stream is composed of I-
frames (full image information) and P-frames (motion-compensated difference information). This
setting configures the Intra Frame Period which is the time period between 2 I-frames. The shorter
period means the higher frequency of I-frame. Video can then be well handled while bit rate may
increase.

Video Quality: select the way of bit rate control to adjust the video quality, the Constant Bit Rate
(CBR) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR). The selection of CBR mode concerns about the circumstances of
fixed data rate transferring. VBR, on the other hand is utilized when network bandwidth is less
concerned. CBR is not applicable in MJPEG video mode.

Video Overlay

The camera supports stamping text information on the video images. The date/time string or/and a
line of text message (e.g. Camera Name or View location) are available to be selected for displaying
or hiding on the images.

The strings are placed on the video image as header / footer in left, middle or right position. The text
color, background color and transparent level to the image can also be configured.

Privacy Mask

Privacy Mask can block out areas from view. Blocked areas will not be seen in both live view and
recorded video clips. Input Privacy Mask Name and click “Add New” button to add a new mask. Up to
8 masks can be set in the view.

23

Join Video

This function allows user to add other video sources. All added videos can be displayed concurrently
on the live view page.

Press “Add New” button to extend the panel for connection info. Input the camera name and choose
the video stream from current camera. Press “Test Camera Connection” button to check this
stream’s availability.

Press “Advanced” button to join video streams from current or other cameras. Input the IP address
of the camera, the user name / password if it is authenticated, the RTSP path for different streams
and RTSP port number (default is 554). Press “Test Camera Connection” button to chec k t his link’s
availability.

NOTE

If the joined camera is an iMege 1.3 Megapixel IP camera (B1100/D1100/G1102), the RTSP path
should be blank, and the RTSP port for stream 1, stream 2 and stream 3 are 554, 1554, and 2554.

24

Network Configuration

The IP Camera acts as one of the network devices. It allows “IP address” to be assigned, so certain network
functionalities can be implementable within this device. This section describes these configurations.
Fundamentally, for instance, the IP assignment of the device can be done via DHCP server, static IP option
or PPPoE to obtain IP from the service provider.

There are 4 subdirectories in “Network Configuration” for detailed settings of each network related function:

 Network Type
 Network Connectivity
 Quality Service
 Access Port
 Access IP Filter

Network Type

25

Network Type
There are 3 ways to configure IP address for the IP camera device, including DHCP, Static IP and PPPoE.

Enable DHCP Service: The default setting is DHCP, which camera will be automatically given an IP

address in a network with DHCP server.
Use Static IP: Camera may also be manually assigned with a static IP address. Subnet mask,

Gateway and DNS server(s) will also need to be specified for certain network function properly
executed.

Enable PPPoE Service: This service is usually provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider). IP
Camera can establish a dial-up connection to the ISP and then get connected to Internet.

RTSP Streaming

The 3 RTSP streaming protocols below are available for different network environments.

UDP: This is unicast method in “RTP over UDP”. UDP is a simple transmission mode and more likely
for request of the most up-to-date information. However, video packets may be lost or dropped in the
network traffic as UDP does not guarantee the endpoint transmission. This method is usually applie d
in a smaller scale of LAN or intranet environment where packet lost may not be an issue.

TCP: This is unicast method in “RTP over RTSP (TCP)”. TCP is a reliable for end-to-end data
transmission when comparing to UDP mode. Thus, it is applied for quality of the data is concerned.
This method is used when data is sent through networks or Internet.

HTTP: It is unicast method in “RTP over RTSP over H TTP”. As firewalls normally allow HTTP protocol,
it is not necessary to enable the specific port for RTSP video traffic. That is the IP camera’s web page
with live video stream can be retrieved through HTTP port.

Network Connectivity

This page provides the connectivity configuration, so that IP camera can be accessed without necessarily
providing the numerical IP address.

Enable UPnP Service: with UPnP enabled, IP camera device can be easily discovered in Windows
Network (My Network Places). See “Discover devices in Windows Network” in previous section.

Enable DDNS Service: By registering this sort of service, camera can be assigned and accessed
over Internet with a hostname instead of IP address. To enable the services, visiting the website of
the service provider and registering an account are required.
Dyndns.org: http://www.dyndns.com/
DHS.org: http://www.dhs.org/

26

Quality Service

Quality Service provides network traffic management to guarantee the quality of services in higher priority,
especially when network is insufficient. DSCP (Different Service Code Point) is a 6-bit IP header which defines
the service level of the packet. According to the DSCP value, routers with PHB (Per-Hop Behavior) will define
a specific class of traffic for the packet, in terms of bandwidth, latency, or loss rate, etc. Enable QoS and set
DSCP value for the service to ensure its quality to be maintained.

NOTE

To make the QoS function work, all the switches and routers in the network must support QoS.

Access Port

The Web access port can be changed in this page. Default HTTP and HTTPs port numbers are 80 and 443
respectively. The configuration of these port numbers provides the simple security.

27

Access IP Filter

This setting also provides a basic security by filtering the accesses from other hosts. Enable this function and
choose “Allow / Deny” of the listed IP addresses. Up to 15 IP address can be added in the list.

28

Recording

This section provides the recording configuration on the camera. Unlike the recording function on the live view
page, video is recorded to the storage attached to the camera (that is the Micro SD card) according to a time
based schedule.

There are 3 subdirectories in the “Recording” category for detailed settings of each function:

 Recording Plan
 SD Storage
 SD File List

Recording Plan

Recording Plan List

It lists the created/scheduled recording plan(s). The details of a recoding plan include

1. Plan Name: identifier of the recording plan

2. Status: enable or temporary disable the recording.

3. Mon ~ Sun: displays the hours in days of a week that recording is effective.

4. Source: choose the video source from either streaming that will be recorded.

5. Destination: set the path for the recorded file to be stored.

6. Remove: delete this recording plan.

29

video clip can be limited its maximum file size.

Scheduling

A recording plan can be 24/7 by choosing “Select All”. It can be configured in hour’s pattern in each day of a
week by drag-and-draw selecting on the schedule table, see the figure below.

SD Storage

This page shows the SD card information when it is attached to the IP camera. Click on “Refresh” button to
update the SD space information. The SD card can be formatted in this page.

NOTE

1. It is recommended to insert the SD card before powering up the system. This is to ensure that the

attached device is properly detected in the initial stage.

2. When the SD storage is full, the system will automatically launch overwrite process. The earliest

hour records will be deleted for more space.

30

SD File List

This page provides the search of records. The SD storage may contain both “triggered-by-schedule”
recordings and “triggered-by-events” snapshot / video. There are search conditions used to narrow down the
search results.

The latest 10 Records

The most recent 10 records are listed in this block. Each record name is a link to view this video or image.
Following the “Record Name”, each record is listed with its “Trigger Type” and “Record Size” details

31

Searching the Records

The SD storage would keep massive records after the “recording plan” and/or “event handling” (see Event
Management) is launched for a certain time. The search criteria are provided to look for particular records in

the SD card.
There are 3 categories of search criteria,

1. Trigger Type: includes [Motion Detection], [Digital Input], [Manual Trigger] and [Network Fail] as the
type of “triggered-by-events” and [Schedule Recording] as the type of “triggered-by-schedule”.

2. Trigger Time: select a time rage that records are created.

3. File Type: search files that are either video clips (.avi) or pictures (.jpeg) or both.

The example below is the search result of Network Fail.

NOTE

The search criteria can be multiple selected for each searching. For instance, the search result can be
the combination of Network Fail and Digital Input.

32

Event management

Event management describes the handling of events with the corresponding actions. A common case can be
exampled is storing a captured image to a local storage (Actions), when there is a Motion Event (Trigger
Condition). This chapter gives the configurations of Triggers (what to detect?) and Actions (“what to send”
and “where to send”). A time based schedule can also be applied.

Configuration of Event Handling

There are 3 subdirectories in the “Event” category. The 3 configuration groups are correlated. A completed
event setting may need to configure each part in sequence.

 Event Server & Media
 Motion Configuration
 Event List

Event Server & Media

The “Event Server” is the configuration of “where to send”, e.g. FTP server, while Media is the sending file
type. The combination of file type and the remote servers will then be applied as an event action.

Event Server List

Click on “Add New” button to add the remote severs. These are email recipients and FTP server.

33

User Name: enter the user name of the FTP login account
Password: enter the user name of the FTP login password
Server Port Number: the server port of the FTP server. Default is 21
Upload Path: enter the file path that files will be sent to.
Passive Mode: check the box for passive mode transmission. This option is usually applied when the

FTP server in behind a firewall.

Media Type
There are 2 types of media (file) available, snapshot (.jpg image) and video clip (.avi).

Video Source: the video source from either streaming that will be captured.
Pre-alarm / Post-alarm image(s): enter the numbers of images that will be captured before and after trigger

is activated.
Pre-alarm / Post-alarm video: enter the numbers of seconds that video will be recorded before and after

trigger is activated.
Maximum file size: define the maximum file size that a video clip is generated.

34

Motion Configuration

There are 3 MD (Motion Detection) areas can be enabled. Each MD can be individually enable / disable, set
its covering range and the trigger sensitivity.

To enable and verified the MD follow the steps below.

1. Check the box to enable the motion area

2. Drag and drop to move the motion window

3. Hold and drag any corner of the rectangle to resize the window.

4. By dragging the pin of the slider bars, adjust the detection “Sensitivity” and “Object Size” of the
rectangle covered area.

NOTE

By name implying, the “Sensitivity” setting means the sensitivity level to the motion detection; the
higher value given makes the motion window more sensitive to the moving object. “Object Size”
indicates the trigger threshold. A lower “Object Size” value means it is easier to exceed the value, and
thus trigger the motion event.

5. The status chart shows the motion activities. When the motion vector exceeds a threshold (the Obje ct
Size), the motion trigger is activated.

6. To enable other motion area, repeat above steps.

7. Click on “Apply” button to save the settings.

System options

System Information

The page gives details of the IP camera system.
In System Status, the Model ID, device firmware / ActiveX version and MAC address are listed. The Camera

Name and Location fields are revisable to identify a unit among multiple cameras installed.

The IP address info of this IP camera is listed in Network Status. The RTSP Status field shows the video
stream(s) being requested by the listed client(s).

39

Date and Time

This section describes the date/time adjustment for the IP camera system. The ways to adjust the IP camera’s
date/time can be automatic (Synchronize with NTP Server / PC) or manual settings.

Current Date & Time

Display current system date/time of the IP camera. The date format can be changed from the drop­down list in Configure Date & Time.

Configure Date & Time
Keep Current Date & Time: the option of keeping current date and time; not to be adjusted.
Synchronize with NTP Server: automatic method for date/time adjustment. The IP Camera must be

able to gain access to the given NTP server (e.g. time.windows.com), which is usually the ability of
Internet access. The IP camera system can therefore get updated with the time server.
NOTE: To apply “synchronize with NTP Server”, a Time Zone must be selected for referencing to the
local time.

Synchronize with PC: The PC connected to the IP camera can also be a date/time synchronizer.
However, if the PC is connecting from a time zone different from where camera is installed, the
system will pop up a warning message for time zone differential.

Set manually: manually adjust the date / time for the system
Date Display Format: The system date can be displayed in the format of DD/MM/YYYY,

MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD.
Time Zone: Select an appropriate time zone for local where IP camera is installed. The automatic

adjustments will be applied based on the selected time zone. Check the “Daylight Saving Time”
checkbox for areas that are observing DST.

User Management

By default, the access to the camera is not user authenticated. For security, the IP camera should be
restricted to account only accesses. It is able to enable user accounts, as well as to manage the added users
in this page.

Initially, there is a default account, Admin in the “User List”. To enable this account, click on “Edit”.
The “Add / Edit User Account” table appears. Fill the password in both “Password” and “Confirm
Password” fields for the Admin account.

To create a new account, press “Add New” button. Create a User name / Password for this account
and select the user type; Administrator, Operator or Viewer.

Check the “Enable Authentication” box to enable the account authentication. Click on “Apply” to
save all the settings.

The user account with “Administrator” authentication can do all the configurations. “Operator” has the same
rights as Administrator, except for User Management. “Viewer” is allowed only the access to live view page.
Up to 8 user accounts can be added in the User List.

41

Maintenance

This page provides tools for camera system maintenances;

 Reboot: restart the camera system
 Restore to Factory Default: restore camera factory default settings. The network setting can be kept

by checking the “Except Network Type” checkbox.

 Configurations (User settings) backup/restore: the system settings can be backed-up and

exported to a file. The file can be applied to upload the previous user settings to the camera, or other
cameras.

NOTE

The backup file can be applied to other IP cameras, so user won’t needv to configure each device. It
is recommended to switch the IP setting to DHCP mode before exporting the backup file. Otherwise,
all IP cameras will have the same IP address.

 Firmware Upgrade: there may be new released firmware for updated features or issues fixed. To

upgrade the firmware for the system, retrieve the firmware image file, import to the system and then
do the upgrade process.

LOG service

The system operations and / or process will be recorded in the log system. The link provides the review of
these records.

System Log: contains records of system changes, e.g. login failed, link on/off, video settings updated and etc.
Event Log: records the log message of triggered event, for instance, motion detection is asserted.
Parameter List: list all the system parameters with the current value, e.g.

network.lan.static_ip=192.168.126.84

Troubleshooting

Check firmware version

Firmware version may imply the functionalities’ updates or availability in the camera system. Therefore, in the
first step of troubleshooting and then reporting, it helps to locate the found issues. Newer version firmware
may have these issues corrected.

The version code can be found in Setup -> System -> System Information, see figure below.

Upgrade device firmware

Firmware upgrade process should be done via the web configuration; Setup -> System -> Maintenance ->
Firmware Upgrade. Before the process, read the instructions and release notes coming with each new

released version. For the steps,

1. Check and retrieve the latest firmware image file from iMege website.

2. Disconnect all clients’ requests from the camera that will be firmware upgrading.

3. Stop the recording (local / remote) if it was enabled.

4. Go to the Firmware Upgrade page, browse and locate the downloaded firmware image file, then click
on “Upgrade” button.

5. The upgrade should start immediately, depending on file transferring status. The web will then show
the upgrading progress. Overall upgrading process takes about 2 minutes. In this period, DO NOT
DISCONECT the power. Otherwise the system of this unit can be damaged.

43

6. The front LED indicator will be slow flashing in red color during the upgrading process. When it
becomes steady on in green color, camera is ready to be accessed. Check the firmware version to
confirm that the system is successfully upgraded.

Recover device settings

In some cases, camera system does not respond to any operation. A certain recovering pro ce sses would help
to get the unit back to initial status, so that it can resume operable / configurable. This will be the operations
on the “Reset Button”.

1. Restart / Reboot the device

Press reset button within 1 second; the system will be restarted.

2. Reset User Management

Short pin 3 and pin 4 of the terminal block for 5~9 seconds; User management settings will be reset
to default and the system will be restarted.

3. Reset to factory default settings

Short pin 3 and pin 4 of the terminal block for over 10 seconds; the system will be reset to factory
default and the system will be restarted.
