1. Introduction
The video server is designed with the “user-friendly” idea deep in mind. It translates the analog video to
digital video, compresses the video by MPEG4 technology and sends the video to internet. The video server
can be easily integrated with a CCTV camera to become an IP based system. Excellent and free rmware
and software are provided for this video server.
The user can install the video server product easily on his/her network connecting with a CCTV camera
and then access the video anywhere in the world through the accompanied video management softwareKraunView. You get this video easily without setting some complicated DNS name or changing the router’s
settings. It’s just a plug & play action and trouble-free installation.
With 3GPP/ISMA support, users can see the video of the video server on any 3G mobile phone anywhere,
anytime. The big dierence is that there is software for downloading to the mobile phone so that the
xed IP address is not needed for the Video server. The video settings including frame rate, resolution and
bandwidth could be dierent for PC monitoring and mobile viewing. Major 3G mobile brands including
Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, LG, Samsung and HTC have been tested.
For indoor/outdoor surveillance and remote monitoring, the video server product provides the best image
quality in its class, and excellent performance. The video server product also provides the best bandwidth
eciency, it oers full D1(720x480 for NTSC, 720x576 for PAL) resolution, 30 fps frame rate, real MPEG4
image compression ability. The audio line-in interface enables remote users to not only see, but also listen
for additional monitoring requirements.
The micro-SD card interface provides local video storage function. The NAS storage function can easily
turn any NAS device to a NVR device. The event scheduling provides full scheduling of email/ftp sending,
D/I detection, NAS recording event. With the built-in Web server, the video server product can also be
managed from a standard web browser on a Windows computer. With the ActiveX support, users can also
see the video display on the Windows IE browser.
The video server product provides motion detection function. Users can easily setup this function and
receive the notication with the snapshot images through email and/or ftp when some motion events are
detected. Users can also record the motion-detected video through the KraunView software.
The video server product is ideal for securing buildings, oces, factories, and residences over a local area
network and/or the Internet.
The dierences
It’s very easy to see the video of the video server product, you only need to key in the ID/Password of the
video server any where in the world, you do not need to remember the IP address or domain name or
DDNS name or port number. And you do not need to modify the settings(like port mapping, xed IP, DDNS,
virtual server) of the NAT/router devices, it’s just a plug & play usage.
So, the dierences are the followings:
• Public IP address needed ? No
• Dynamic DNS needed ? No
• Port mapping in router? No
• Virtual server in router ? No
• UPnP support in router ? No
• What’s needed ? ID and Password

The Video server provides the scheduling function for the motion detection triggered email/ftp sending
and/or the NAS recording with the individual parameters set in the . “Email/ftp alarm” settings and the “NAS
settings” page. Totally 12 schedule list items are allowed. There is no conict check for the scheduling, it
means that the scheduling time could be overlapped, and the Video server will do all the scheduled events
during the overlapped time period. For the scheduling of the Email/ftp sending and/or NAS recording, the
“Schedule” option must enabled in the “Email/ftp alarm” settings and/or the “NAS settings”.

when the video motion is detected and/or digital input alarm is detected.
3. D/O Alarm – for each scheduling, if this is selected and the “Motion triggered” and/or “D/I triggered”
is enabled, the Video server will trigger the D/O alarm in the scheduled time period when the video
motion is detected and/or digital input alarm is detected.
4. NAS Record – for each scheduling, if this is selected, either “Continuous” or “Motion triggered” or
“D/I triggered” could be enabled. For “Continuous”, it means that the Video server will do the video
recording to the NAS device during the whole scheduled period. For “Motion triggered” and/or “D/I
triggered”, it means that the Video server will do the video recording to the NAS device for 30 seconds
during the scheduled period each time when the video motion is detected and/or digital input alarm
is detected.
5. SD-Card Record – for each scheduling, if this is selected, either “Continuous” or “Motion triggered” or
“D/I triggered” could be enabled. For “Continuous”, it means that the Video server will do the video
recording to the SD-Card during the whole scheduled period. For “Motion triggered” and/or “D/I
triggered”, it means that the Video server will do the video recording to the SD-Card for 30 seconds
during the scheduled period each time when the video motion is detected and/or digital input alarm
is detected.

5. FAQ.
1. What’s going on when the red led light on the video server product is ashing?
A: When the video server product is connected to the Internet and working correctly, the red led light will
be on constantly. If the red led light is ashing, it’s probably because there is some network connecting
problem. Please check the network connection again and follow the instructions on the user manual to
set it up again.
2. What’s the viewing angle of the video server product?
A: The viewing angle of the video server product is dependent on the connected lens.
3. What’s the longest distance using the video server product to see the video?
A: When using the video server product to see a long-distance object, whether it’s clear or not depends
on the size of the object. Usually when your eyes can see something clearly in that distance, the video
server product can also see that object clearly in about the same distance.
4. What should I do if the password is forgotten, and the ID/password card is missing?
A: The easiest way to solve this problem is to reset the video server product to the factory default. Please
stick on the reset button on the rear panel of the video server product for more than 3 seconds and
release it. The video server product will then restart to the factory default. The default administrator
account is “admin”, administrator password is empty. The default video-play password is “ipcam”. You can
adjust these account and passwords by using the browser to login into the video server product and do
the needed modications.
5. What should I do if I can not hear the audio sound from the video server product?
A: There is an audio input connector inside the video server product. If you can see the video from the
accompanied KraunView software, but can not hear the audio sound, please check the followings:
(1). Check if the speaker of the computer is turned on, you can try to play a audio le on the computer to
verify this.
(2). Check if the microphone on the video server product is enabled. Please login into the web
conguration page of the video server product, select the “video” settings, click the “Enable audio
microphone” choice.
6. I can see the video in a remote place, but the video quality is not good and sometimes the video
will disconnect and then the video will reconnect again by itself.
A: It’s probably because the internet bandwidth (internet speed) is not big enough. Please try to apply for
a better internet connection from your Internet Service Provider or decrease the bandwidth settings of
the video server product. You can adjust the bandwidth requirement of the video server product either
from the KraunView software or login into the web conguration page of the video server product to do
the modication.
7. Does the video server product provide the recording function?
A: You can do the recording of the video/audio of the Video server from the KraunView software with the
KraunView software. You can also do the video/audio recording to the standard NAS storage device. The
micro-SD card slot is provided for recording to micro-SD card. Another software CamPlay is needed to
playback the recorded vide/audio les.
8. Can I connect the video server product directly to my PC/notebook with an Ethernet cable?
A: If the video server product is directly connected to your PC/notebook computer using an Ethernet
cable, the video server product will automatically use an IP address called “auto IP” with IP address
169.254.xxx.xxx. If your PC/notebook computer is congured to DHCP, it will also use an “auto IP”
address. But this will take about one minute after the video server product is connected to the
computer and you need to make sure that the WiFi interface on your PC/notebook computer is disabled.
After about one minute, you can run the KraunView software to access the video server product, the
CAM ID should be displayed on the “auto-search” list. You can then see the video by double clicking the
CAM ID icon. But you need to know that in this situation, other local or remote computer can not see
the video.
