1B-Cam-Manager
The 1BeyondCameraManagersoftware is the central hub for configuring, monitoring, and
controlling 1BeyondIP cameras. It allows monitoring of up to 4 video streams simultaneously
and lets you configure the latest 1Beyond cameras. For details on how to use the software, refer
to the 1B Cam Manager Product Manual.
NOTE: The camera’s default IP address is 192.168.18.77.
Monitor RTSP Streams
The RTSP IP video streams that are being broadcast by the camera can also be previewed and
monitored in third-party apps like VLC Media Player® software. The following example
demonstrates how to access the streams in the VLC® player.
1. Launch VLC player and click Media > Open Network Stream.
2. Select Open Media > Network (tab) and enter the RTSP URL using the following syntax:
rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx:554/4.h264
Substitute “sub” for the secondary stream from the wide-angle camera or “3” / “4” for
subsequent streams.
To learn how to adjust the bit rate and resolution settings for the camera’s RTSP streams, refer
to the 1BeyondCameraManager manual.
NOTE: The VLC player induces noticeable latency when monitoring RTSP streams.
