REMOTE ALARM_OUT PEERING WITH GXV3500 (DECODER MODE) The IP66 weather-proof IP cameras GXV3672, GXV3674 and GXV3610 series do not have built-in Alarm_Out interface, but when peering with Grandstream GXV3500 encoder/decoder, the GXV3500’s built-in Alarm_Out interface (running at decoder mode) can behave as remote Alarm_Out for those IP Cameras.
GXV3500 (Decode Mode) Side: GXV3500 has to be running as Decode Mode when functioning as remote Alarm_Out of the peering IP Camera. The configuration is as below: 1) Input the 2nd stream (H.264 Only, MJPEG NOT supported) as the RTSP URL, with correct credentials, as shown below. 2) Only ONE stream (currently decoding stream) the Motion Detection can use the GXV3500 built-in Alarm_Out interface if there are multiple RTSP URL configured in the GXV3500.
2nd stream also consume less bandwidth therefore good for internet transmission. H.264 video codec has to be selected because Motion Detection not supported via MJPEG. All Grandstream IP Cameras without built-in Alarm_Out interface can peer with GXV3500 (Decoder Mode) built-in Alarm_Out interface for Motion Detection Remote Alarm_Out. Alarm_Out duration can be configured at “System” setting page of GXV3500 Decoder. See below the figure.
Unlike the Alarm_Out interface of Grandstream IP Camera (e.g.: GXV3611IR_HD or GXV3662_HF/FHD where the related Alarm_Out interfaces are using relay switch), the GXV3500 Alarm_Out is using photocoupler circuit. If connecting to a multimeter, you will see the Ohm changed from unlimited to serveral hundred Ohms depending on GXV3500 HW version.
IP SURVEILLANCE FAQ 1. What is the default IP address of the GXV3500? The default IP configuration is DHCP or 192.168.1.168 after booting up 5 minutes. 2. Why can I not view the live video stream in Microsoft Internet Explorer? Please double check whether the Grandstream Plug-in/Active-X is installed correctly. Once you log into the GXV3500 web interface, Internet Explorer will indicate that this website wants to install to following add-on: “GSViewer.cab” from Grandstream Networks, Inc.
6. Why does IE indicate to install Grandstream Video Viewer add-on after a firmware upgrade? The add-on was properly installed before the firmware upgrade process. New firmware will often upgrade the add-on as well. To watch the live video stream, you must install the newest version of the add-on. 7. How do you watch secondary video stream? Login to the home page of the GXV3500 web GUI, click Play to watch the video stream.
14. Why the IP address of the device NOT reset when clicking the “Restore” button? The GXV3500 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. 15.
17. Will the GXV3500 Decoder/Encoder be compatible with third party cameras? • Encode Mode: (Analogue Camera) Generally, most 3rd party analogue cameras will be digitized to IP Camera when connecting to GXV3500 BNC port at Encode Mode. • Decode Mode: (IP Camera) Whether GXV3500 can decode the data stream from a 3rd party IP camera is dependent on how the stream was encoded. GXV3500 utilizes the RTSP stream and is capable ONLY H.264 formats decoding (so MJPEG is out of luck).
