FAQ
Q: What is the default IP configuration for the device?
A: The device’s default IP address is 192.168.1.188. If the IP address has been changed and is unknown, you can still locate the device on the network:
- Connect the device (encoder board) to your computer using an Ethernet cable.
- Use the utility tool IPCSearchTool to scan the network. IP Search-EN-V1.0.61 Download
- The tool will detect the device and display its current IP address.
- Enter the detected IP address into a web browser.
- You will then be able to access the device’s configuration interface and live video preview page.
This method allows you to regain access even if the network settings have been modified.
Q: What user ID and password are needed to log in to the web interface?
A: The default login credentials for the device web interface are: Username: admin Password: admin .
Q: We are interested in the Player SDK. Can we receive and display the video stream in our own software?
A: Yes. We can provide the PC Player SDK source code, which enables customers to receive and display video streams in their own software applications and perform custom integration or secondary development as needed.

Q7. Can I connect a second USB camera via a USB hub or the USB0 port?
A7: No. The system currently supports only one USB camera input.
Even if you use a USB hub or attempt to connect through the USB0 port, the device cannot process or switch between two simultaneous USB camera inputs.
Q8. Does the system support dual-camera USB capture?
A8: No. Dual USB-camera input is not supported at this time. The system provides: One USB camera video input, and One network video stream output (IP stream), Additional USB video channels are not available.
Q9. What can be connected to the half-flex (half-pitch) cable connectors?
A9: The half-flex cable connectors are designed for factory-defined internal interfaces only, such as: Internal debugging ports, Extension modules,Specific hardware functions reserved for system integration. These connectors are not intended for externally connecting additional USB cameras or third-party devices.

A10: At present, multi-USB-camera support is not available and cannot be enabled through firmware. The hardware architecture is designed for single-camera USB input.
Q11: What is the purpose of the battery on the encoder board?
A11: The battery powers the on-board RTC (Real-Time Clock). The RTC keeps track of the system date and time even when the device is powered off, ensuring accurate timekeeping for functions such as timestamping recorded video or scheduling tasks.
Q12: What is the resolution of the analog video output?
A12: This USB-to-CVBS/video streaming encoder board outputs analog video with the following resolutions:
-
PAL: 720 × 576 pixels
-
NTSC: 720 × 480 pixels
Q13: Does the board provide both analog and IP outputs simultaneously? How is it determined which output is used?
A13: Yes, this USB UVC camera video encoder board supports simultaneous CVBS (analog) and IP/Ethernet video output. Both outputs can work at the same time, allowing you to monitor video via analog displays while streaming over the network. There is no need to switch between outputs; the board automatically provides both.
Q14: We want a working temperature range of -30°C to +50°C. Is this possible?
A14: Yes, we have conducted dedicated testing, and the board has been verified to start up and operate normally at -30°C and continue functioning correctly at +50°C.

I’ve been using the UVC USB Camera to IP Ethernet Streaming Encoder Board for several months, and it has exceeded my expectations. The video quality is crystal clear, and the H.265 compression keeps the bandwidth surprisingly low. Setup was straightforward — my UVC camera was detected instantly, and the RTSP stream worked perfectly with VLC and ONVIF NVR. The low latency makes it ideal for my drone video and robotics projects. Stable performance, flexible power options, and excellent player SDK support. Highly recommended!
