address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.105:2000. This IP address will not change even if
the camera is powered off and back on, the camera will remain on this LAN IP address. This is very important
that a static LAN IP address is set, or you may have problems later with remote access and seeing the camera
remotely if the camera loses power and reconnects on a different LAN IP address. Make sure you set a static
LAN IP address!

4.5.1 Video Settings
There are two ways to set the stream video settings. They are main stream video settings and sub stream
video settings.
38
Enhanced Night video Denition: The camera will automatically drop the frame to extend the recording time
in the night.
Stream Type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set. If select the HD Mode, the
clearer video will become, and it will take up more bandwidth; If select the Smooth Mode, the bandwidth is very
narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well. The Equilibrium Model is a value between
HD Mode and Smooth Mode.
Resolution: The camera supports multiple types, For example: 1080P, 960P, 720P, VGA. The higher the
resolution is, the clearer video will become. But the code ux will become larger too, and it will take up more
bandwidth. (Dierent models support dierent specific types. )
Bit Rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate
conguration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit
rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.
Frame Rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. You should lower frame rate when the
bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve uently video.The maximum
frame rate for each model is dierent, please see the 6.3 Specication.
Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more
likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.
Rate Control Mode: There are three rate control modes.
CBR: Constant Bit Rate, it means that the Bit Rate is constant.
VBR: Variable Bit Rate, the camera will change the video bit rate according to the situation, but will not more
than the maximum parameter "Bit Rate".
LBR: Low Bit Rate. If you can select the LBR, then you can slide the scroll bar to choose percentage of the bit
rate. By reducing the bit rate, so that the camera can obtain a better image at low bandwidth.
4.5.2 On Screen Display
This page is used to add timestamp and device name on the video.
Display Timestamp: There are two options: Yes or NO. Select Yes and you can see the system date on the
video.
Display Camera Name: There are two options: Yes or NO. Select Yes and you can see the device name on
the video.
39
4.5.3 Snapshot Settings
In this page you can set the snapshot pictures' image quality and the storage path.
Manual snap Quality: Low, Middle and High. The higher the quality, the picture will be clearer.
Pictures Save To: FTP or SD card. If you have done FTP and Alarm settings, when alarming, the camera will
snap pictures to the FTP or SD card automatically.
If you select the FTP, you can set the le name which the picture save to. For example: le name is "NAME",
the snapshot picture is "NAME_20150605-180000.jpg".

6.1 Frequently Asked Questions
NOTE: Any questions you would meet, please check Network connections rstly. Check the working status
revealed by the indicators on the network server, hub, and exchange. If abnormal, check the network
connections.
6.1.1 Equipment search tool cannot nd the camera
After power on camera and connect it to router by Ethernet cable, open Equipment Search Tool it cannot nd
any camera IP address. Shows a blank window like below.
This is usually because camera doesn’t get an IP in same network segment as the computer. Please follow
below steps to x the problem.
1. Make sure both camera and computer are connected to same router.
2. Make sure camera’s connected to router properly and camera status is normal.
For indoor pan/tilt cameras, when powered on you will see a red power light and camera will pan/tilt. And on
LAN port you’ll see a blinking orange light and a solid green light.
3. Reset camera to have a check. Just keep pressing rest button on camera with power on for about 30
seconds till it reboot. Reset button is usually on back/bottom of camera, or on the end cords.
4. Try another Ethernet cable or hook into another LAN port on router.
5. Make sure the router DHCP server is enabled and there is no Mac addresslter.
Check router’s DHCP list as well, to see if you can find camera’s IP address there.
If yes, please try to log-in the camera directly by manually input the IP address and port (default http port: for
SD camera is 80, for HD camera is 88) of camera into address bar of web browser.
6. Please turn off any virtual machine or multiple connection (use only wired or wireless connection) that is
running on computer.
7. At latest make sure there’s no firewall is blocking Equipment Search Tool or other search tool conflicts with
it.

6.1.3 Unable to connect to router wirelessly
After setup wireless configuration, and input the wireless password correctly, save the settings. Normally, after
you disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait for few minutes camera will show up again in Equipment Search Tool
(or show up in router’s DHCP client list/LAN list) with a new IP address. That indicates your camera’s
connected wirelessly.
If not, please follow below steps to help camera connect wirelessly.
Step1: Please make sure wireless signal is strong enough to connect with.
(1) Make sure the camera antenna is xed well;
(2) Best to keep the distance between the camera and router in 2~3 meters while setup;
(3) There’s no interference or obstacles from house appliance or walls;
Step2: Please check if the frequency band of the wireless signal is 2.4GHz.
Our cameras only support connecting to 2.4GHz frequency wireless band. If your wireless router is dual band,
that supports two frequency band 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Please set the 2.4GHz and 5GHz with different SSIDs, and make sure congure camera to connect with the
2.4GHz SSID.
Step3: Please check if your wireless password contains special characters.
Remove special character in SSID and wireless password to have a try.
Step 4: Reboot camera and router to have a check.
If above are all conrmed, power o and on the camera and router may help camera to connect.
Step 5: Please log-in the router and check if the MAC filter feature is enabled.
Camera has wired and wireless MAC, they are different. If your router has wireless MAC filtering turned on, it’ll
block camera to connect. Please turn it off, or add camera’s MACs in the allow list.
Step 6: Please change the wireless channel, and the wireless encryption of router to have a try.
Change channel helps reduce influence from nearby WiFi networks, you can try 3,6,or 11 for example. As for
encryption, suggest use WPA2/PSK AE S.
Step7: At last reset camera to default, and please try re-congure the wireless settings again.
6.1.4 Forgot camera’s user name and password
Camera can be hard reset to default settings, when you forgot camera’s login user name and password. Below
are the steps:
(1) Keep power on camera;
(2) Press and hold reset button of camera for 30 second, till it reboots. Reset button is on bottom, or back, or
end cords of the camera.
(3) Once reset, camera will be restored to default settings. And default username is admin, no password
(leave password blank).
