VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
To use the GXV-3000 as a video surveillance camera, configure the GXV-3000 and the monitor PC in the
same LAN environment. Advanced users can configure with outside LANs (configuration not recom-
mended and not covered in this User Manual). For best results, Grandstream recommends using this
feature in the same LAN environment or ensure both monitor PC and phone have a public IP address.
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS
Phone side: In the ADVANCED SETTING page, find the following field and change the default setting
from “NO” to “YES”: reboot the device.
PC side (Monitor Device):
1. Download VLC from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
(Version 0.8.5 recommended). This is the only
player that supports both the Grandstream device and RFC 3984.
2. Launch VLC.
3. Go to Preferences ->Input/Codecs ->Demuxers ->H264. Check “Advanced Options” in the bot-
tom. Change “Frames per Second” value to 5 and then save.
4. Go to Preferences ->Demuxers ->Access modules ->RTP/RTSP. Check “Advanced Options” in
the bottom. Make sure “Use RTP over RTSP (TCP)” option box is unchecked.
5. Close the Preferences window and go to File ->Open Network Stream:
• Select RTSP as the protocol
• Enter the URL using the form:
tsp://admin:ADMIN_PASSWORD@DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS:DEVICE_RTSP_PORT.
• Change the text in red to your configuration:
i. ADMIN_PASSWORD is the device’s web configuration password for admin.
ii. DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS is the device IP.
iii. DEVICE_RTSP_PORT is the RTSP port setting of the device.
iv. If the port uses default value 554, omit the port portion from the URL
• Click OK. Start video.
Limitations:
1. Video surveillance supports only two (2) concurrent views on the GXV. The video stream is set at
5 frame per second and 128kbps.
2. The video stream will stop if a call starts. The video stream server will not actively terminate the
session. Most clients will terminate the session after certain interval without video stream.
