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://192.168.1.110:2000 in Equipment Search Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.1.110:2000. 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
35
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!

Enhanced Night video Definition(Only C1):
The camera will automatically drop the frame to extend the recording time in the night.
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: 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. (The maximum frame rate for each model is different, please see the
“
Specifications
”
. )
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:
You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.
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(Only C1):
Select the Bit rate type to constant or variable. If select Yes, the camera will
41
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 C2)

6.1.3 Unable to connect to router wirelessly
After setup wireless configuration, and input the wireless password correctly, save the settings. Normally, after you disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait for few minutes camera will show up again in Equipment
Search Tool (or show up in router’s DHCP client list/LAN list) with a new IP address. That indicates your camera’s connected wirelessly.
If not, please follow below steps to help camera connect wirelessly.
62
Step1: Please make sure wireless signal is strong enough to connect with.
(1) Make sure the camera antenna is fixed well;
(2) Best to keep the distance between the camera and router in 2~3 meters while setup;
(3)
There’s no interference or obstacles from house appliance or walls;
Step2: Please check if the frequency band of the wireless signal is 2.4GHz.
Our cameras only support connecting to 2.4GHz frequency wireless band. If your wireless router is dual band, that supports two frequency band 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Please set the 2.4GHz and 5GHz with different SSIDs, and make sure configure camera to connect with the 2.4GHz SSID.
Step3: Please check if your wireless password contains special characters.
Remove special character in SSID and wireless password to have a try.
Step 4: Reboot camera and router to have a check.
If above are all confirmed, power off and on the camera and router may help camera to connect.
Step 5: Please log-in the router and check if the MAC filter feature is enabled.
Camera has wired and wireless MAC, they are different. If your router has wireless MAC filtering turned on, it’ll block camera to connect. Please turn it off, or add camera’s MACs in the allow list.
Step 6: Please change the wireless channel, and the wireless encryption of router to have a try.
Change channel helps reduce influence from nearby WiFi networks, you can try 3,6,or 11 for example.
