Frequently Asked Questions - OB-300NE STAR Brickcom

How do I reset the Brickcom OB-300NE STAR to factory defaults?

Go to the camera's web interface, navigate to System > Reset to Default. Check the boxes for settings you want to preserve (e.g., network, date/time), then click Apply. Alternatively, physically press and hold the reset button (if available) for 10 seconds.

How can I access the camera remotely via internet?

Enable EasyLink™ in Network settings to assign a unique name (e.g., mycam) and access via mycam.mybrickcom.com. Alternatively, configure DDNS and port forwarding on your router.

What is the default IP address, username, and password?

The default IP is obtained via DHCP (check your router's DHCP client list). Default username and password are both admin. Change them immediately for security.

Does the camera support motion detection and alerts?

Yes. Go to Event > Motion Detection to set up detection windows, sensitivity, and threshold. Then create an event in Event Settings to send email, FTP, or HTTP notifications with snapshots or video clips.

How do I record video locally to an SD card?

Insert a microSD card into the slot. In System > Storage Management, format the card if needed. In Event > Video Clip/Snapshot, configure pre/post alarm buffer and specify the storage destination (SD card). Also enable Offline Record in Storage Management for continuous recording.

Can I use the camera with third-party NVR software?

Yes, the camera supports ONVIF Profile S and standard RTSP streams. In Network > RTSP Server, enable RTSP and note the stream URL (e.g., rtsp://IP/channel1). Use compatible software like Blue Iris, Milestone, or QNAP.

How do I enable two-way audio?

In Camera/Video/Audio > Audio, enable audio for the desired stream. Then go to Advanced Settings and enable Camera Speaker and Echo Cancellation. In Live View, click the Talk icon to transmit audio from your computer.

What is the infrared (IR) range and how can I adjust it?

The camera has built-in IR LEDs for night vision. In Camera/Video/Audio > Camera – Multi Profile or Scene Selector, you can set IR LED to Auto or manual intensity (1-10). The effective range depends on the environment but typically up to 20-30 meters.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from Brickcom's website. In System > Firmware Upgrade, click Browse to select the file, then Upgrade. Do not power off the camera during the process. The camera will reboot automatically.

The camera image appears dark or flickering, what should I do?

Check the Scene Selector settings: choose Indoor 50Hz or Outdoor as appropriate. Enable Flicker-Free to reduce flickering. Adjust Exposure Control (shutter, gain, EV compensation) and enable WDR for backlight scenes. Also check IR cut filter operation.

Log in the Camera

To access the camera's live view, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the camera. The log-in window will pop requesting a username and password. As stated on the previous page, for the default username and password are "admin" and "admin". For accounts other than the administrator's account, the user can choose to remember the password for future convenience. It is not recommended to check this box when viewing the camera feed from a public computer.

Installing the Plug-In

For the initial access to the camera in Windows, the web browser may prompt the administrator for permission to install the plug-in for Internet Explorer. Permission request depends on the Internet security settings of the user's PC or notebook. If the highest security level is set, the computer may prohibit any installation and execution attempt. This plug-in has been registered for certificate and is used to display the video in the browser. Click to proceed. If the web browser does not allow the

administrator to continue the installation, check the Internet security option and lower the security levels or contact the networking supervisor or IT for help.

NOTE – If an error occurred or the plug-in fails to install, it is because the version of the Electronic Signature is newly released and the VeriSign has not been submitted to Microsoft Windows update for validation. Therefore, plug-in will not have its root certificate. If IE discovers that there is no root certificate after the user's PC connects to the camera, it will automatically redirect to VeriSign Web site to download and install the latest root certificate to make the installation successfully. If the user's computer is able to connect to camera but unable to access the internet, then the installation will fail since the computer will not be able to download the latest root certificate. This problem can be resolved if computer can be connect to the internet and the camera at the same time and will not recur when Windows update patches become available.

Live View

NOTE - (*) These are optional features. Please refer to the Product List for the full list of optional features available for the product.

Live View is the default page that opened when accessing the camera. Live video is displayed directly in the browser window.

- Channels

The network camera offers simultaneous multiple streams. This drop-down list allows the user to switch between different video channels. For further detail, please go to .

- Protocol

RTSP over HTTP – This unicast method can be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled.

TCP - This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and provides better video quality. The downside of using this protocol is that the quality of its real-time effect is less than that of the UDP protocol.

UDP - This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection time-sensitive responses are more important than video quality.

● LED Control (CB-series Professional only)

Use the drop-down menu to adjust the brightness of the camera's LED.

● Image Dewarping (MD-500Ap-360P, MD-300Np-360P, and CB-500Ap-360P Only)

The image dewarping function is only provided for these cameras on the Live View page with the Internet Explorer.

Ground – When the camera is fixed on the ground or table, or is installed to shoot in the bottom-up direction, please choose this mode.

Brickcom

Wall – When the camera is fixed on the wall, or is installed to shoot in the horizontal direction, please choose this mode.

Wireless

These settings control how a Network Camera interacts with a wireless network. User can identify the wireless network and enable wireless encryption.

NOTE – This function is only available for WCB, WOB and WMB models.

Basic Settings

Network Name (SSID) - The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name used to identify the wireless signal emitted from a wireless camera. It is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long.

Wireless devices have a default SSID set by the factory. Brickcom wireless products use Brickcom as the default name. User has to ensure that the SSID setting matches the home network setting to enable the wireless devices.
