Step 3: Wait around 10 seconds, you’ll see that the camera’s LAN IP address has changed. In our example it was changed to 2000, so we see http://192.168.8.102:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.8.102:2000. 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! Figure 4.35 NOTE: If the camera cannot be accessed, please make sure the port forwarding is succeed. HTTPS port: The default port is 443. You can use the url to access the camera: https:// IP + HTTPS port. ONVIF port: By default, the ONVIF port is set to 888. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535(except 0 and 65534). But make sure they can not be conflict with other existing ports. RTSP port:The default port is 554,only some IP Cameras have RTSP port. 4.4.7 Mail Settings If you want the camera to send emails when motion has been detected, here Mail will need to be configured.

First of all, you need to open the P2P function of the camera at “Settings-->Network-->P2P.” Figure 4.40 4.5 Video This section allows you to configure Video stream settings, On screen display and Snapshot settings. 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.

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 flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth. (Different models support different specific types. ) Bit Rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration 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 fluently video.The maximum frame rate for each model is different, please see the “Specifications”. 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. Variable bitrate(except for FI9900P): Select the Bit rate type to constant or variable. If select Yes, the camera will change the video bit rate according to the situation, but will not more than the maximum parameter "Bit Rate"; If select No, the Bit Rate is unchanged. Rate Control Mode(Only FI9900P):There are three rate control modes. CBR: Constant Bit Rate, it means that the Bit Rate is constant.

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.
