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

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

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

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.

GXV3601 IP Camera

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

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.

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.
