Encoder is pre-set to a static IP “192.168.1.217”, not DHCP to get IP. For the first time, please make sure your PC/Laptop also has an ip which same range as Encoder “19.168.1.xxx”.

Encode: Encode configure. Like video output size, codec, bitrate, GOP, bitrate control, and Network stream Video side: the output size. “auto” means same size as the input. For instance, the input size is 1920x1080, if it’s set to “auto”, the output size will be also 1920x1080. Another, we do not recommend small size in and set to large size out.

Frame rate: Supports to 60fps maximum. More frame rates, video will be more smooth. For this Encoder, the maximum performance/ability is 1-channel 1920x1080p_60hz in and then Encoder to 1-channel 1920x1080p_60fps out. Please to balance the resource for all encode processing. If encode processing out of the maximum performance/ability, Encoder could not work properly.
