CONNECTING TO THE ENCODER
To access the encoder setup menu, you must install the OpenEye
Network Camera Manager (NCM) on a PC that resides on the same
network as the encoder.
Using the OpenEye Network Camera Manager to Connect to
the Encoder
To install the OpenEye Network Camera Manager application on your
PC, download the program from OpenEye.net, and follow the prompts.
1.
Open
NCM
, and then click
Find Devices
.
2.
Double-click the
encoder
in the Device List, and then click
Browse
to open the encoder software in Internet Explorer.
NOTE
The first time you connect to the encoder, you are
automatically prompted to install a plugin to view live
video.
Default Username and Password
The Username and Password are case sensitive. It is strongly
recommended that the password be changed after the initial setup to
prevent unauthorized access. Any password change will need to be
applied to your recorder also.
Default Username: admin
Default Password: 1234
Using the RTSP Stream to Stream Video from the Encoder
The URL for the encoder RTSP stream will allow you to stream video
directly from the encoder using an OpenEye recording device or VLC.
Encoder RTSP Stream URL syntax:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]/
h264/ch[1-16].[1-2]
NOTE
The username and password are only needed in the
RTSP stream if you are using VLC and are prompted for
them.
NOTE
The encoder and the PC you use to access the encoder
must be on the same network.
