3.3 CAMERA SETUP

A. IPCam Setup

A-1. IPCam Quick Search

NVR can search for the IP devices under the same domain with NVR.
Click the IPCam in the list to add it to NVR channel.

If you want to revise the IP setting of a camera, click “Edit”:

The IPCam has to be under the same LAN with NVR in order to connect
successfully. Ex. If NVR IP address is 192.168.10.33, IP Cam IP address should
be 192.168.10.X. You can edit IP Cam IP address here or on the IP Cam.

20

a. Normal Mode

Enable this channel. Key in the IP address, port, username, and password of
the device you prepare to connect. You can find the information on the IP
Cam.

Click the “connect IPCAM” button, the message will show in “State” column

to tell you whether connection succeeds or not.

Note: To the camera connected via ONVIF protocol, the PTZ control

function is not supported.

b. RSTP Mode

Under RTSP Mode, the NVR only support the IP address indication, the live
video, and video recording. Other functions like motion detection are not
supported.

Key in the IP address, port, username, and password of the device you

prepare to connect. You can find the information on the IP Cam.

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”.

21

Note: When you select RTSP mode, make sure the substream resolution of

camera is VGA(640x480). Or you will receive the warning message when
you try to connect with the camera:

Here we lists some RTSP setting for sample:

RTSP Path 1
(IPCam Main
stream)

(IPCam Sub
stream)

c. ROI

This function allows users to set up the channel as an attached channel. An
attached channel is based on a normal/ RTSP channel 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 doesn't increase the
bandwidth loading. Users cannot do camera setup (like motion detection or
image adjustment) on attached channel.

1. Enable: Choose “ROI”.

2. Attached Channel: Select a connected normal/ RTSP channel in the
drop-down menu.
