04 6. FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS (read carefully) INSTALL IPSURVEILLANCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE Install IPSurveillance Application Software. IPScan is a software utility to find your wireless video server on the network. It is a part of IPSurveillance Application Software. WHICH BROWSER TO USE? We strongly recommend Microsoft IE browser version 6 or higher. Mozilla Firefox and similar others are not guaranteed to work with Wireless Video Server.
USING IPSCAN 04 IPScan software is the quickest way to make sure we can find Wireless Video Server on your network. IPSurveillance Application Software setup will install two applications. You can see as shown below. Select IPScan. The following window appears after you select “IPScan” from start menu. Press Scan button to list the IP and MAC address table. To refresh, press Clear Table and press Scan again. You will find the list of IP and MAC address listed.
04 Double right click If you want to quickly open the IP you see on IPScan on your browser, select an IP and do a “double right click” on your mouse/touchpad. You can see the browser window open that IP.
CHANGE NETWORK SETTINGS BY IPSCAN 04 The IP address is 169.254.100.100, if there is no DHCP server on your network. Double click to change network setting. You can double click a specific IP address and change some basic network parameters. A dialog box will appear as follows. Change any settings you want to make and make sure you have correct values in all fields. Click Apply.
settings are accepted and being applied. Wait for around 30 04seconds, before trying to refresh IP list. Click Clear Table and click scan again. You should be able to find MAC address of video server under new IP address. Wireless Video Server is online on your network. Use ping command from Windows command prompt to double check if IP is reachable. To quit IPScan anytime, click Exit.
7. ACCESS Wireless Video Server 04 BROWSER Double right click Or, ¤ Open IE browser ¤ Type IP address of video server that you found on IPScan software. For example, http://192.168.10.151/ ¤ Initial username and password are… ID: root Password: pass Click Login button to go to web view.

Wait for count down timer to finish and page will refresh automatically and you should see initial login page.
PPPoE SETTINGS 04 ¾ PPPoE is used in case network supports PPPoE like xDSL ¾ Request Internet Service Provider for PPPoE ID/Password ¾ User ID / Password PPPoE user ID / Password ¾ Service Name Service name of ISP ¾ MTU Maximum transmission unit of data ¾ IP address of DNS sever can be set to be created automatically. ¾ If xDSL does not use static IP, you should use DHCP.
VIDEO 04 VIDEO SETTINGS ¾ Video Compression Type MJEPG / MPEG4 ¾ Resolution QCIF / CIF / D1 ¾ Frame Types This setting deals with the Group of Pictures (GOP) structure - which could be a combination of I and P frames. I - I frames - also referred to as Key frames contain information for a complete picture, and can be decoded independent of any other frame. I frames are the largest (and least compressed) frames. Therefore for same quality, they consume high bit rate.
P - P frames are encoded using information from the previous I or P 04 frame, and can only be decoded correctly if the previous I / P frame is available. P frames are smaller than I frames. I Only / IP Only IP - Simple Profile - Medium bit rates for same quality. I - Highest bit rates for same quality.
COLOR SETTINGS 04 Fine adjustments to video quality can be made using more detailed settings as shown below. BRIGHTNESS Adjusts the image on a scale from darkness to brightness. CONTRAST Adjusts the extent to which adjacent areas on a video differ in brightness SATURATION Adjusts the chromatic purity of video thereby effecting vividness. HUE Adjusts the video by effecting color depth VIDEO PREVIEW Preview makes choices easier when tuning video settings for specific locations.
Click Stop to exit preview. You could change other video 04 parameters and press TEST to see how the changes look like. You can press Reset anytime to return back to the default settings. Click Enable Preview checkbox to save the current settings – and its takes effect right after settings have been changed. MAX CLIENT LIMIT Maximum users (client) limit allows users accessing the video stream. For higher bit rates and resolution, the client limit is much lower and vice versa.

Once you are done working with USB config. port, remember to unplug USB cable from USB config. port.
STEPS FOR USING USB config port (Windows XP 04 PC) 1. Disconnect power cable connected to Wireless Video Server. 2. Use mini-USB cable and connect appropriate end to USB config port and connect other end to PC USB port. 3. After 5 ~ 10 seconds depending on how fast your PC is, you can notice “Disk drive” being detected. 4. A POP-UP dialog shows “Config Wizard” is ready to run. Press OK. Double click Config Wizard. You will see a screen as follows.
You will be asked for password. Earlier, if you have never04 changed the password for user root, please type pass as the password. Then click login button. If you input wrong password, you will get this dialog box. You will see the network status of Wireless Video Server .To navigate through Quick Wizard, click it and you will find a window appear as below.
If you would wish to change network settings of either 04 STATIC / DHCP / PPPoE If you would want to setup DDNS, please click on the same for detailed configuration. Return to Network page to setup network further. Please choose and click next for detailed configuration page. For instance, shown below is a screen which has STATIC network configuration page. Click next to proceed.
Please input web port and stream port if default value does 04 not match your requirement Clicking next will show that settings are saved. You can click finish if you are done or go back or change other settings. Similarly you can change other settings at ease. Note: Connect CCD IP CAMERA/CMOS IP CAMERA to your network by using a standard Cat-5 cable.
