Page 69

to clicking on the “Add Device” option.

• • • DOMAIN

The DOMAIN edit box allows you to manually input the Domain name you’ve created from the free DDNS website, such as www.dyndns.com or www. no-ip.com. Once registered create a name such as name.dyndns.org to input into the “Domain” box. The Port, User Name, Password, and zone all need to comply as instructed above.

NOTE: When using domain for DDNS service, it is not required to open ports from you router, however, UPnP is required to be enabled in your local router.

• • • CLOUD

The CLOUD input box allows you to enter in the cloud serial ID number which can be found under IPCam Config/Info/Version as shown below. Input the Serial ID into the “Serial ID” field, setup the User Name, Password, and Zone to comply as instructed above.

• • • EDIT DEVICE

The EDIT DEVICE option is used to save any changes that were made to the selected camera from the “Device List Window”. This is where you would want to change the default IP address of the IP camera to match with your local area network IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Clicking on the Edit Device option will bring up the “Edit Device Window” (as shown in the image below) to start editing. Please leave the HTTP Port to 80 (system default) and the Media Port to 34567 (system default) as recommended. The MAC address only identify the NIC card, please leave the MAC address as is.

NOTE: If you are having difficulty using Internet Explorer to access, please change the HTTP port from 80 to other port such as port 83 or 85.

Page 70

The “AutoGetAddr” button can be of help to obtain the correct IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of your local area network settings. If you are unsure of what IP address to use please click on the “AutoGetAddr” button and then change the last or the 4th sets of the “IP Address” to a higher number such as “178”.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check with your IPS (Internet Service Provider) if you are unsure as to what IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway to use or reference our QSG (Quick Start Guide) to obtain an IP address.

SYSTEM TIME

The SYSTEM TIME option provides you with options that will allow you to set and configure the IP cameras current date and time.

DATE FORMAT

The DATE FORMAT drop down allows you customize the way you want the IP camera to display the date. The date format options include:

• YYYY MM DD

• MM DD YYYY

• DD MM YYYY

DATE S E PERATOR

The DATE SEPERATOR drop down allows you customize the symbol used to separate the date and time. The separator options include:

• - date separated by dashes

• . date separated by dots

• / date separated by forward slashes

TIME FORMAT

The TIME FORMAT drop down allows you customize the way you want the IP camera to display the time. The time format options include:

• 12-HOUR

• 24-HOUR

LANGUAGE

The LANGUAGE drop down lets you change the language of the IP cameras menu. It is important that you stay away from making changes unless you are really sure that you want to change the language. Having the menus in a foreign language can make it difficult to navigate through the options to try and get back the right one. The options available are:

• English

• Spanish

• French

HDD FULL

The SD CARD FULL drop down allows you to enable (overwrite) or disable (stop recording) the IPcam-SD’s to record continuously once the memory card is full. Once the SD card is full, the unit stops recording unless the SD CARD option is set to overwrite. When set to OVERWRITE, the IP camera will automatically start recording over previously recorded footage ensuring that the DVR will record new events as they occur. The options available are:

• Stop Record

• Overwrite

Page 98

VIDEO STANDARD

The VIDEO STANDARD option refers to the two most commonly used video formats:

• NTSC - National Television System Committee (NTSC) is the commonly used format for North America and Japan. NTSC is the system default setting.

• PAL - Phase Altering Line (PAL) is the common format in European nations By default the IP camera is set to NTSC which is the standard for North America. To chance the STANDARD to PAL (European), move your cursor over to the drop down arrow and left click it to display the options available.

DST

The DST option allows you to set up the IP camera to automatically update its time according to your geographic daylight savings requirements.

REFRESH

• • • •ENCODE

The ENCODE sub-menu located in the “System” menu option consists of 15 basic settings that will allow you to adjust the IP cameras video quality settings. These settings include:

NOTE: You can make changes to both “Extra Stream” and “Main Stream” individually.

A. Channel – system default to channel 1 and it cannot be change.

B. Compression – default to H.264 compression, not configurable.

C. Resolution – resolution configuration.

D. FPS – frames per second configuration.

E. Bit Rate Type – Constant or Variable Bit Rate selection.

F. Quality – lets you define the quality of the video being recorded

(only available when VBR is selected the Bit Rate Type).

G. Bit Rate (kb/s) – video bitrate configuration (only available when CBR is selected the Bit Rate Type).

H. Frame Interval (sec) – is Intra Frame Interval set to stream only the changes in frame for faster and smoother video steaming.

I. Video/Audio – enables/disables video and audio.

Page 100

CHANNEL

The CHANNEL selection is defaulted to channel 1 and cannot be selected.

COMPRESSION

The IP camera standard COMPRESSION format is H.264 and is non-configurable.

RESOLUTION

The IP camera supports various RESOLUTIONS that you can select from the drop down list. Supported resolutions are:

• CIF – 352X240, smaller frame size in CIF quality, intermediate video transmission.

• QCIF – 176X120, smallest frame size in CIF quality, fastest video transmission.

• VGA – 640X480, largest frame size, slow video transmission, default for main stream.

• QVGA – 320X240, smaller frame size in VGA quality, intermediate video

transmission, default for extra stream..

NOTE: Please select the desired resolution for both main stream and extra stream. Notice extra stream only supports VGA and QVGA resolutions. Reduce to CIF or QCIF main stream resolution to for faster video streaming.

FPS

The FPS (frames per second) relates to how many frames (pictures) the IPcamSD will record per second (fps). The higher the frames per second the clearer the footage quality, the more hard drive space will take up, and reduce video streaming transmission. The lower the frames per second the poorer the footage quality, but takes less hard drive space, and faster video streaming.

NOTE: The FPS ranges from 1~30fps, the system default setting for main stream is 30fps and the default for extra stream is set at 15fps.

BIT RATE TYPE

The IP camera supports two bit-rate types: CBR and VBR. CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate which means the DVR will always use the bit rate (Kb/S) setup under the Bit Rate setting below as priority to sustained the transmission speed and quality. VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate which means that the DVR will adjust the bit rate regardless of bit rate (Kb/S) to sustained the transmission speed and quality selected below.

NOTE: The more the motion in the image, the more complex the image will utilize higher bit rate to sustain the quality of the image. When selecting VBR, please adjust the quality ranging from Lowest to highest accordingly. When selecting CBR, please adjust the bit rate ranging from 512~2048Kb/S.

QUALITY

There are six QUALITY levels ranging from Highest to Lowest. This option will only

J. Static Configuration of – controls the level (baseline, main profile, and high profile) of CMS configuration.

K. Copy – copies the current configuration settings.

L. Paste – pastes the configuration settings to the selected camera.

M. Refresh – restores any changes made.

N. OK – saves the changes.

O. Cancel – exits the menu without saving the changes.
