GXV3601 System Page This page allows you to configure the system settings on GXV3601. Current System Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). Set the System Time Update via NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP server Specify the NTP server's IP address or
GXV3601 IP Camera Firmware 1.0.4.6 Page 17 of 37 Grandstream Networks, Inc. 09/2010 host name. And you can select your time zone from the drop-down list or define your own time zone setting. NOTE: If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under Basic Settings -> Networking. Synchronize with Local Computer - sets the time from the clock on your computer. Set the Time Manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date. OSD Date Format - set the format of date on OSD Device Name Setting -This field lets you configure the name of the GXV3601, which helps GSurf and GS_NVR to indentify the device when using GS_Search to search all the Grandstream network cameras or digit video cameras in the same subnet. DI and DO - Digital input and digital output Normal open: the circuit is by default open unless an event triggers the device to close the circuit. Normal close: the circuit is by default closed unless and event triggers the device to open the circuit GXV3601 Video & Audio Page On Screen Display (OSD) Settings OSD Time/ Text – The time stamp and channel name displayed on the screen. Video Settings Preferred Video Codec – The GXV3601 supports the H.264 video codec.
GXV3601 IP Camera Firmware 1.0.4.6 Page 18 of 36 Grandstream Networks, Inc. 09/2010 Resolution – The higher the resolution is, the better the video quality is, and higher bandwidth is required. Low -----------------------Æ High Resolution QCIF CIF 2CIF D1 Bit Rate – The number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. Maximum Frame Rate – The video frame rate is adjustable based on network conditions. Increasing the frame rate will increase the amount of data significantly therefore consuming more bandwidth. Video will be impaired due to packet loss when there is insufficient bandwidth. Bit Rate Control – Variable Bit rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate (CBR). Variable Bit Rate - If VBR is selected, the codec varies the amount of output data per time segment. VBR produces a better quality-to-space ratio. The bits available are used to enable more flexibly and encode sound or video data more accurately, with fewer bits used in less demanding passages and more bits used in difficult-to-encode passages. Constant Bit Rate - If CBR is selected, the codec’s output data is constant regardless of the input data. The output bit rate is defined in “Bit rate”. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on limited capacity channels. It is easier to calculate required bandwidth as well as the required storage space using CBR. Image Quality – If ‘Bit Rate Control’ is set to “VBR”, “Image quality” needs to be configured. The better the video quality is, the higher the bit rate will be. I-frame Interval – While streaming video over a network, compression technologies are used to show the incremental difference between each frame. I-frames are used to help keep the video looking normal. When intervals are shorter, the video quality is higher but uses more bandwidth. NOTE: The users might need to configure the Primary Stream and Secondary Stream properly. Sometimes, the user might like to watch the live video stream from the web GUI in low resolution mode while recording a copy via GSurf/GS_NVR in high resolution due to the limitation of internet bandwidth. In this case, for example, primary stream can be configured to have better resolution, and then the users can use primary stream to record while watching secondary video streams. Audio Settings Preferred Audio Codec – The GXV3601 supports up to 3 different Vocoder types, a-law (PCMA), u-law (PCMU) and G.726. The audio can also be turned off by switching the setting to “Disabled” Audio Compression – Audio
GXV3601 IP Camera Firmware 1.0.4.6 Page 19 of 37 Grandstream Networks, Inc. 09/2010 compression is a form of data compression designed to reduce the size of audio files. Usually, the higher the audio compression is, the better the audio quality is. Power Frequency - this setting should match the power frequency used in the country to avoid flickering in the image. And it is only available for GXV3601HD GXV3601 Networking Page – Assign an IP to GXV3601 GXV3601 supports IP version 4. The IP address can set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. To make GXV3601 work properly, the user needs to set the DNS configuration properly. For security purposes, the user can also assign the GXV3601 an HTTP Port other than 80. IP Address Configuration The GXV3601 operates in two modes: Dynamically Assigned via DHCP – all the field values for the Static IP mode are not used. The GXV3601 acquires its IP address from the first DHCP server it discovers on its LAN. Statically Configured as – configures all of the following fields: IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway IP address, DNS Server 1 (primary), DNS Server 2 (secondary). These fields are set to zero by default. Static IP addresses are recommended for the GXV3601 DNS Configuration There are two methods of DNS configuration on the GXV3601: 1. The GXV3601 can obtain the DNS server automatically 2. Users can configure their own preferred DNS server HTTP Port The GXV3601 supports user configured http ports. If the HTTP port is changed, the
GXV3601 IP Camera Firmware 1.0.4.6 Page 20 of 37 Grandstream Networks, Inc. 09/2010 port number is needed to access the web GUI, for instance: http://192.168.1.168:8080. NOTE: If the HTTP Port is 80, when you add this device to GSurf or GS_NVR, the RTSP port is 554. If the HTTP Port is changed, when you add this device to GSurf or GS_NVR, please make sure the RTSP port number equals HTTP Port plus 2000.
