Locating a Bolin camera on the Network

By default, most Bolin cameras are configured with the following static IP address:

Default IP Address: 192.168.0.13

Exception: Dante and NDI enabled camera models are configured to use DHCP by default and will automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server when connected to a network.

 

Use one of the following methods to locate and access your camera.

1. Using the Bolin Discovery Tool

The Bolin Discovery Tool is the recommended method for locating Bolin cameras on a network.

  1. Download and install the Bolin Discovery Tool - Windows from the Bolin website. (Bolin Discovery Tool v2.0 - MacOS)
  2. Connect your computer and camera to the same network.

Alternatively, the camera can be connected directly to the computer's Ethernet/LAN port. When using a direct connection, power the camera using the supplied power adapter.

  1. Launch the Bolin Discovery Tool.
  2. The tool will scan the network and display detected Bolin cameras along with information such as their assigned IP addresses.
  3. Select the desired camera to identify its current network settings.
NOTE: When connecting directly to a camera configured with the default static IP address, the computer's network adapter must be configured within the same IP subnet.

 

2. Accessing the Camera Manually Using a Web Browser

For cameras using the default static IP address:

  1. Configure the computer's Ethernet adapter with an IP address within the same subnet as the camera. For example:
    • Computer IP Address: 192.168.0.X
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  2. Open a supported web browser.
  3. Enter the camera's default IP address in the address bar:

192.168.0.13

  1. When the camera's Web GUI opens, log in using the default credentials or the credentials previously configured for the camera.
IMPORTANT: Do not assign 192.168.0.13 to the computer, as this address is already assigned to the camera. Each device on the network must have a unique IP address.

 

3. Using an IP Scanner Utility

A third-party network/IP scanning utility can also be used to locate devices on the network.

  1. Connect the computer to the same network as the camera.
  2. Run the IP scanner and scan the appropriate network range.
  3. Review the detected devices to identify the camera and its assigned IP address.

Depending on the scanning utility, the camera may appear under the manufacturer name Bolin or by its configured hostname.

 

4. Checking the IP Address Through the Camera OSD Menu

If the camera is connected to a display, its current IP address can also be viewed through the camera's On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu.

  1. Point the IR remote controller toward the camera.
  2. Open the camera's OSD Menu.
  3. Navigate to STATUS.
  4. Locate the network information to view the camera's current IP address and other network settings.

Code

The Codec allows you to configure the video encoding parameters for the camera’s Main Stream and Sub Stream. Available settings include Video Compression, Resolution, Frame Rate, Bitrate Type, Bit Rate, and I-Frame Interval, allowing each stream to be optimized for image quality, bandwidth, and application requirements.

The Ultra Low Latency option can be enabled to minimize video delay. When enabled, OSD overlays are disabled and the output resolution is fixed to 1080p. Select Apply to save changes or Default to restore the codec settings to their default values.

 

 

The Codec page allows you to configure the video encoding parameters for the camera’s Main Stream and Sub Stream. These settings determine the video compression format, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and keyframe behavior used when streaming video over the network.

 

Ultra Low Latency

Enable Ultra Low Latency to reduce video transmission delay for applications where minimal latency is required.

 

NOTE: When Ultra Low Latency is enabled, OSD overlays are disabled and the video resolution is fixed to 1080P.

 

Main Stream and Sub Stream

The Main Stream is typically used as the primary, higher-quality video stream for viewing, recording, or production.

The Sub Stream provides a lower-resolution, lower-bandwidth stream that may be used for monitoring, previewing, or applications where reduced network bandwidth is preferred.

 

Stream Type

Displays the stream operating mode. Depending on the camera configuration, this setting may be fixed and unavailable for adjustment.

 

Video Compression

Select the video compression codec used to encode the stream.

Options:

Video compression reduces the amount of data required to transmit video over a network while maintaining image quality. Higher compression efficiency can reduce bandwidth and storage requirements.

H.265 (HEVC) is recommended when lower bandwidth usage is desired and the receiving device or software supports H.265.

Feature H.264 (AVC) H.265 (HEVC)
720P Bandwidth Reference Approximately 3 Mbps Approximately 1.5 Mbps
1080P Bandwidth Reference Approximately 6 Mbps Approximately 1.5 Mbp
4K Bandwidth Reference Approximately 32 Mbps Approximately 15 Mbps
Intraframe Prediction Modes 9 Modes 35 Modes
Color Depth 8-Bit Up to 10-Bit

 

NOTE: The bandwidth values above are general reference values only. Actual bandwidth requirements vary depending on the configured bitrate, frame rate, resolution, scene complexity, motion, and network conditions.

 

Resolution

Select the output resolution for each stream. Higher resolutions provide greater image detail but generally require more network bandwidth and processing resources.

Typical bitrate ranges may include:

Quality Resolution Typical Bitrate Range
720P 1280 × 720 1200–4000 Kbps
1080P 1920 × 1080 4000–8000 Kbps
4K 3840 × 2160 8000–14000 Kbps

 

NOTE: Available resolutions may vary depending on the selected codec, frame rate, operating mode, and camera model.

 

Frame Rate (FPS)

Select the number of video frames transmitted each second.

Available frame rates depend on the selected resolution and camera configuration and may include standard rates such as 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 FPS.

Higher frame rates provide smoother motion, particularly in scenes with fast movement, but also increase bandwidth and processing requirements.

When selecting a frame rate, consider the available network bandwidth and the requirements of the receiving device or platform.

 

BP Frame

The BP Frame setting controls the frame structure used during video compression. Depending on the selected codec or operating mode, this setting may be automatically configured and unavailable for adjustment.

If the option is unavailable, it will appear grayed out.

 

Bitrate Type

Select how the camera controls the amount of data used to encode the video stream.

CBR – Constant Bitrate:
Maintains a relatively consistent bitrate throughout the stream. CBR is useful when predictable network bandwidth usage is required.

VBR – Variable Bitrate:
Adjusts the bitrate according to the complexity and amount of motion in the scene. VBR can reduce bandwidth during simple or static scenes while allocating additional data when more detail is required.

 

Bit Rate (Kbps)

Sets the amount of data allocated to the encoded video stream and is measured in Kbps (kilobits per second).

A higher bitrate generally provides greater image quality because more video data is retained. However, higher bitrates also require additional network bandwidth.

If the bitrate is set too low for the selected resolution and frame rate, image quality may be reduced or compression artifacts may become visible. If the bitrate is set unnecessarily high, the stream may consume excessive bandwidth and could cause buffering or playback issues on networks or receiving devices with limited capacity.

When configuring remote video transmission, ensure the available network bandwidth is greater than the combined bitrate of all active video streams.

 

I-Frame Interval

Sets the interval between I-frames (Intra-frames) in the encoded video stream.

An I-frame contains a complete image, while the frames between I-frames primarily contain information describing changes from previous frames. Increasing the frequency of I-frames can improve stream recovery and image refresh during scenes with significant movement, but it also increases bandwidth usage.

A lower I-frame interval produces I-frames more frequently, while a higher interval reduces their frequency.

For general operation, it is recommended to set the I-Frame Interval to approximately the same value as the configured frame rate. For example, when using 30 FPS, an I-Frame Interval of approximately 30 may be used.
