This page allows you to configure the system settings on GXV3615WP_HD.
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
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.

GXV3615WP_HD Series 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 GXV3615WP_HD supports the H.264 video codec.
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.
I-frame Interval – While streaming video over a network, compression technologies are used
GXV3615WP_HD IP Camera Series
Firmware 1.0.4.8 Page 15 of 30
Grandstream Networks, Inc. 02/10/12
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
GXV3615WP_HD 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
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.
Microphone Volumne – Adjust the volume of build-in microphone.
Speaker Volumne – Adjust the volume of build-in speaker.
GXV3615WP_HD Series Networking Page – Assign an IP to GXV3615WP_HD
GXV3615WP_HD supports IP version 4. The IP address can set automatically via DHCP, or a
static IP address can be set manually. To make GXV3615WP_HDwork properly, the user
needs to set the DNS configuration properly. For security purposes, the user can also assign
the GXV3615WP_HD an HTTP Port other than 80.
IP Address Configuration
The GXV3615WP_HD operates in two modes:
Dynamically Assigned via DHCP – all the field values for the Static IP mode are not used.
The GXV3615WP_HD 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
GXV3615WP_HD IP Camera Series
Firmware 1.0.4.8 Page 16 of 30
Grandstream Networks, Inc. 02/10/12
fields are set to zero by default. Static IP addresses are recommended for the
GXV3615WP_HD
DNS Configuration
There are two methods of DNS
configuration on the GXV3615WP_HD:
1. The GXV3615WP_HD can obtain the
DNS server automatically
2. Users can configure their own
preferred DNS server
HTTP Port
The GXV3615WP_HD supports user
configured http ports. If the HTTP port is
changed, the 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.

6. Why does IE indicate to install Grandstream Video Viewer add-on after a firmware
upgrade? The add-on was properly installed before the firmware upgrade process.
New firmware will often upgrade the add-on as well. To watch the live video stream, you must
install the newest version of the add-on.

9. What is DDNS? Is it important for IP surveillance product to have DDNS support?
DDNS is an acronym for Dynamic Domain Name Service. It is important to choose an IP
network camera that has DDNS support for dynamic IP addresses.
Chances are that the network has a dynamic IP address (which changes with every log on). A
DDNS service makes sure that the camera’s IP address always matches up to the current
server address. DDNS also allows for a website to be linked to the IP camera that is
constantly updated with the correct information and has a reliable feed.
10. Why is Windows Media Player unable to play the recorded videos files?
The GXV3501/3601/3504 all use the H.264 video codec. Windows Media Player may lack

13. How can I use a cell phone to watch the GXV3501/ 3504/ 3601/ 3615 video stream?
GXV3615WP_HD IP Camera Series
Firmware 1.0.4.8 Page 27 of 30
Grandstream Networks, Inc. 02/10/12
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
example, if the HTTP port is 88, then the RTSP port of the device that you configured on
GSurf / mobile phone should be 2088.
16. Some notes on using SD cards / USB drives.
1. The GXV3501/ 3504/ 3601 only supports FAT32 formatted USB drives
2. The GXV3501/ 3504/ 3601 support SD and SDHC
3. It takes 10-15 seconds to read SDHC and USB drives with large memory capacities.
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/ 3615 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.
