Video Settings
Preferred Video Codec – The GXV3601 supports the H.264 video codec.
GXV3601 IP Camera

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

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.

13. How can I use a cell phone to watch the GXV3501/ 3504/ 3601 video stream?
GXV3601 IP Camera
Firmware 1.0.4.6 Page 35 of 37
Grandstream Networks, Inc. 09/2010
You must set the video resolution to QCIF to watch the GXV3501/3504 /3601 video stream
from a cell phone. Make sure to set the bit rate to 64kbps to ensure the best video quality.
14. Why doesn’t the IP address of the device reset when I click the “Restore” button on
the Maintenance page?
The GXV3501 /3504 /3601 could be installed in areas that are not easy to access. For
example, it could be installed on the roof of a building or the ceiling of an office. This makes
it difficult to reinstall the device, therefore the “Restore” function will not clear the IP address.
Press the RESET button on the device for at least 6 seconds until you hear a beep to perform
a factory reset of all parameters (including the IP address).
15. Why can’t the live video stream be viewed using a mobile phone or GSurf after
changing the HTTP Port of the device?
Make sure that the RTSP port of the device is set to 2000 plus the HTTP Port number. For

Please wait 15 seconds to unplug the SD/USB drive after you plug them into the
device.
4. If there are many files (ie. 1800 or more image batch files) on the SD/USB drive, it can
take up to 5 minutes to read them. Please do not refresh the web interface at this time
as the GXV3501/3504 will restart reading the SD/USB drive. Grandstream is currently
working on a fix for this issue.
5. Why is there a black / flashing bar at the bottom of the video feed?
This can occur if the GXV3501 /3504 does not recognize the standard of the connected
camera. If you experience this issue, please restart the GXV3501 /3504. The GXV3501
/3504 will detect the standard of the connected camera and use it when the GXV3501 /3504
boots up. To avoid this make sure to connect analog cameras before booting up the
GXV3501 /3504.
6. Port forwarding
Two ports must be forwarded on your router to watch video from a GXV3501 /3504
/3601/3611 that is located on a private network from a PC in a public network. The web port
(HTTP) and the RTSP port. Please make note that the RTSP port number changes according
to the web port. If the web port is 80, then the RTSP port is 554. If the web port is not 80, then
the RTSP port equals the web port +2000. For example, if the web port is 88, then the
RTSP port will be 2088.
