- Power on the MSP 325N and connect it to the router via Ethernet.
- Connect the device's HDMI OUT port to a display using an HDMI cable. The IP assigned by the router will appear on-screen (e.g., ETH: 192.168.123.192). Use the actual router-assigned IP.
- Open a browser and enter the IP address to access the web management page. The default username and password are:
- Username: admin
- Password: admin
⚠️ Note: To ensure your information security, it is recommended to change your password after the first login.
Video input checking
After connecting a video source, you can preview the video in real-time through the web browser. The video preview window defaults to "image" mode and refreshes every 3 seconds. If your computer has good CPU performance, you can switch to "video" mode for smoother preview.
The interface shows options to switch between 'Image' and 'Video' preview modes, with details like resolution, codec, and audio settings displayed.
Streaming service
To add a stream service, click the '+' icon on the right side of the stream service section in the MSP 325N Web UI. Use RTSP protocol as an example:
The interface displays a list of stream servers with status, name, and operation options. Users can add new services by clicking the '+' icon.
Select RTSP, fill in the name, service port, and session ID. Other parameters can remain at their default configuration. Click "OK".
The form includes fields for Stream Type (RTSP), Name, Service Port, Session ID, Tunnel Port, Multicast settings, TTL, Audio Port, and Video Port.
⚠️ Notes:
- The default RTSP port is 554. When adding multiple RTSP services, use different port numbers.
- Session ID can be any combination of numbers, letters, and symbols.
After saving configurations, the stream service will appear in the list. Click the switch to start the stream service, which will provide an RTSP stream address.
Displays the stream service address, e.g., rtsp://192.168.4.222:554/ch01. An icon allows copying the address.
