Basic Settings of IP Camera
Basic Settings
Overview
The Basic Settings page serves as a shortcut center for the most frequently used camera configurations, such as time synchronization, user accounts, and network parameters. It allows users to quickly access these settings without navigating through the complex menu tree.
Feature Quick View
This page provides shortcuts to the following key configuration modules via clickable icons:
Module | Key Configurations | Application Scenarios |
Time | System time, time zone, NTP settings | Ensures accurate timestamps for recordings, crucial for event retrieval and evidence. |
Users | Account management, password modification, user permissions | Enhances device security by assigning different access rights. |
TCP/IP | IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS | Connects the camera to the network, configuring IP address. |
Port | HTTP port, RTSP port, service port, RTMP port, ONVIF protocol settings | Configures communication ports for web access, video streaming, and third-party integration. |
Audio | Audio encoding type, sampling rate, input/output volume | Configures type of audio, sampling rate for live streaming. |
Video | Main/Sub stream resolution, frame rate, bitrate | Balances video quality with storage needs and bandwidth limitations. |
System | Firmware version, hardware version, ONVIF version, MAC address, serial number, IP address, date/time, uptime, time mode, GPU load | Displays device information for identification, troubleshooting, and maintenance. |
Maintenance | Auto reboot, configuration file import/export | Keeps the device updated and allows for quick batch deployment. |
Access Path
Configuration -> Basic Settings
This page is a shortcut dashboard. Clicking any icon will redirect you to the detailed configuration page for that function. The same settings can also be found in the corresponding sections of the left-hand menu.
Mobile P2P QR Code
Overview
The P2P (Peer-to-Peer) function simplifies remote access to your camera from a mobile device. By scanning a QR code or entering an ID number, you can view live video on the AView mobile app without needing to configure complex port forwarding or DDNS settings.
Interface and Configuration Instructions
P2P Online Status
- Online: The device is successfully connected to the P2P server and can be discovered by the AView app.
- Offline: The device is not connected to the P2P server. Please check the camera's network connection.
P2P ID
- The unique identifier for your device. If the QR code cannot be scanned, you can manually enter this ID in the AView app to add the camera.
QR Code
- A graphic code containing the device's P2P ID and information. Open the AView app and use its built-in scanner to scan this code for quick device addition.
Access Path
Configuration -> Basic Settings -> P2P
Troubleshooting
Q: The AView app shows "Device not found" or "Adding failed" after scanning the QR code?
A: Please ensure your phone and camera are on the same local network (or that your phone has switched to 4G/5G data); confirm the P2P status shows "Online"; try restarting the camera and router.
Q: How do I bind the camera to a different AView account?
A: The device must be unbound first.
- Unbind from the original account: Log in to the previously bound AView app and select "Delete Device" or "Unbind Device" in the device details.
- Factory reset (if the original account is unavailable): On the camera locally, go to the Maintenance menu and select Factory Default to clear all binding information.
- Once reset, the new account can scan the QR code to bind the device.
Important Note: P2P functionality relies on a third-party server. Video streams may experience latency in poor public network conditions. If your application requires high data security and real-time performance, we recommend using standard TCP/IP configurations (e.g., port forwarding) for access.
