Internet Router/Firewall Setting

How to access IP Camera form outside of LAN or Intranet

(1) Public IP address

In general, setting IP based video and voice end point device are close to the same and it subjects to be different from router, switch, firewall and VPN environment. Please refer to the manual to set up a static public IP address, network mask and default gateway. This is the simplest way to bring up video device on the network.

(2) DMZ

De-Military Zone are quite popular and simple to bring up a server or device to allow external user to access. A router normally stops incoming Internet traffic from getting information inside the network, unless the traffic is to designate to one of your computers and route will IP address and port forwarding the packet. But inste ad of discarding the incoming traffic or using port forwarding, you can send incoming traffic to any device on your network by establishing a "Default DMZ Server". (DMZ = humorous reference to "Demilitarized Zone".) This avoids you having to figure out what ports an Internet application wants — by throwing all ports open for that device.

Please refer to your router/firewall manual that there are hardware DMZ po rt or software DMZ port. In the most case SOHO router , the sof tware DMZ does only allow a single device can refer to. Thus, the network device like video server or camera need to set into an private IP address.

After setting up complete, the viewer should be able to use router’s public IP address to access. Please note that

(1) If you use HTTP to streaming the video – make su re there i s no se cond devic e including router or firewall are using TCP port 80. Other wise, you have to ch ange the port to others to differentiate from it. For example, address is 71.6.38.188 and network device could be any available static private IP address with port 8888 for HTTP streaming access.

(3) Port forwarding

This is a one of common programs and the ports they use for network access.

Port Forwarding can typically be used to enable similar functionality, but it is static and has

some limitations.

Using the Port Forwarding, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like CUseeMe).

Port Forwarding is designed for FTP, Web Server or other server based services like IP Camera web server. Once port forwarding is set up, requests from the Internet will be forwarded to the proper server. For example, the below is an Netgear SOHO router that we set HTTP port 80 to forward to 192.168.41.199 which is IP camera or video server’s private IP address. As same HTTP port 80, you may add TCP or UDP streaming transport into the port forwarding map as well.

Change the Internet Explorer (IE) Browser Setting

1. Please be aware that the Internet security setting on router or your personal PC might block

the IP video or voice access. Please do verify the following condition.

2. Verify Internet Explorer is v ersion 6.0 or above. Please go to menu and click Help and “About

Internet Explorer”’ and confirm make sure IE is version 6.0 or above.

Vide/Image: Video Format

You can select MPEG4 or MJPEG as the video format. It is recommended to select MPEG4 for real-time browsing to optimize the bandwidth. MJPEG is a good choice for the best resolution when video recording is required for collection of evidence.

Video Image: Video Resolution

Generally speaking, selection of resolution is depending on the bandwidth of the network you can afford. This product of fers different selections for video/audio settings. However, to ensure video flow rate sustaining, you need a higher uploading band width. Generally, it is recommended to use CIF resolution for remote access using DSL or cable modem bandwidth capacity. To meet other requirements, refer to Attachment B for more information. Please note, the higher resolution the higher bandwidth. If you overrun your network bandwidth, the low frame rate and disrupted frame picture will be observed.

Video Resolution: PAL/NTSC

1. D1(704x576 / 704x480)

Video Image: GOP (Group Of Pictures)

GOP provides users with the function to set the pages of the I Frame and P Frame to be transmitted in the MPEG4 mode. Basically, the I Frame page contains the entire picture and needs higher bandwidth, while the P Frame pag e only cont ains the part s that are dif ferent from the I Frame and needs lower bandwidth. Hence, when you need to transmit the pages without disruption in a normal network environment, you can set up a higher GOP. For example, if GOP 25 is selected, 24 P Frame pages will follow 1 I Frame page, and so forth. However, packets may be lost when they are transmitted in a congested network environment. In this case, the following P Frame pages may bring about disruption of the transmission because they lose the reference upon which the difference from the I Frame is identified. You may change GOP to 10 with this concern to a void disruptio n of the transmissi on. The GOP is 15 by default.

Note: Where no IP address is assigned from the DHCP server, the system will set the Link-Local Address automatically. However, it is not routable IP address in most environments.

Note: Wireless LAN is very popular today, please note that user use the network camera is recommended to use subject to depend on the wireless signal strength from the location where network connect to AP, building block signal, and all wireless traffic in single AP. All factors will significant impact the quality for realtime streaming data such as video.

Unlike wired 100M/1000M Ethernet point to point throughput which give you a lot of bandwidth room to use. Although WLAN technologies claims to have 54Mbps throughput, is it a share bandwidth and condition usage network. Therefore, 1.5Mbps and 60% of signal strength or higher are highly recommend. Above that bandwidth or low signal strength will result packet loss, low frame rate, distort video image. Or you have to lower the frame rate, video size or bandwidth.

Authentication Type: Open System Authentic ation

Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a success or failure message.

PPPoE

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP

frames in Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with ADSL services. It offers standa rd PPP feature s such as authentication, encryption, and compression. Unfortunately it has an MTU lower than that of standard Ethernet which can sometimes cause problems with badly configured firewalls.

PPPoE is a tunneling protocol which allows layering IP, or other protocols that run over PPP, over a connection between two Ethernet ports, but with the softwa re features of a PPP link, so it is used to virtually "dial" to another Ethernet machine and make a point to point connection with it, which is then used to transport IP packets, based on the features of PPP.

It allows the use of traditional PPP-based software to handle a connection which does not use a serial line, but a packet-oriented network like Ethernet, to provide a classical connection with login and password for Internet connection accounting. Also, the IP address on the other side of the link is only assigned when the PPPoE connection is open, allowing the dynamic reuse of IP addresses.

Network: PPPoE (dial-up networking setting)

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is a protocol that supports access to a high-speed wideband network using a PC and a wideband modem (such as xDSL, Cable, Wireless modem). The user need only to equip the PC with an Ethernet card and apply to an ISP (such as HiNet) and an ADSL provider (such as Chunghwa Telecom) for ADSL service to roam the Internet through ordinary twisted copper wires.

PPPoE: Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet is applicable to networking via a xDSL or cable modem. PPPoE setting must be executed in the LAN environment for your PC to connect to ADSL. Follow the steps below to complete the setting:

1. Dial: You can select whether or not to dial when you boot the machine.

2. Use DHCP or fixed IP for connection to the LAN environment.

DDNS

DDNS: Dynamic Domain Name Server

DDNS is a service that maps Internet domain names to IP addresses. DDNS serves a similar purpose to DNS: DDNS allows anyone hosting a Web or FTP server to adverti se a public name to prospective users.

Unlike DNS that only works with static IP addre sses, DDNS works with dynamic IP addresses, such as those assigned by an ISP or other DHCP server. DDNS is popular with home networkers, who typically receive dynamic, frequently-changing IP addresses from their service provider. To use DDNS, one simply signs up with a provider and installs network software on their host to monitor its IP addres s.

The service of DDNS on the Internet including www.no-ip.com and www.DynDNS.org. Please note that some of gateway or router may register to DDNS, thus end point device sit behind the router or gateway may not need to set the DDNS information.

Active: DDNS(Enable) or (Disable) DDNS Server: Current support only

http://dyndns.org. This is a free service.

Network: DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server Setting)

The IP address (for example 210.168.0.22) is like a telephone number, while the website address is like a name in an address book. The DDNS allows the user to access the website by entering the name of the website without memorizing a bunch of cold numbers.

When you apply for an Internet service, you will have at least one IP address from your ISP that is either fixed or dynamic. Most of the ADSL service providers will give you a dynamic IP for ADSL environments, which means your IP address will constantly change each time you connect to the Internet. As a result, users from WAN environments will have much difficulty finding the correct IP address. The DDNS (Dynamic DNS service) is created for exactly this kind of moment. By updating your WAN IP address each time you connect to the Internet, the

Some gateway-routers can directly communicate with DDNS. In this case, you may directly enter your DDNS account on the setting page in the Internet router, and then the router will update your WAN IP status whenever it is changed and report to the DDNS. If your router does not support direct communication with the DDNS, you can download a small application program on the DDNS service page to help you update your WAN IP.

10. Attachment C: Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are the differences between MPJEG and MPEG4 ?

A. The camera uses MJPEG or MPEG4 compression technology to provide qualit y images. MJPEG is a standard image compression technology for years. It was evolved from JPEG which is compression for still image. MJPEG’s compression ratio is relative low which implied the higher bandwidth is required. MPEG4 is a next-generation image compression standard and can provide hig h image quality at low bandwidth. This is for motion video compressi on technology an d the compre ssion ratio is around 2 times than MPEG2 and MJPEG and it is great for video over IP and digital video re cording.

Q. Is it possible to catch the image from the camera in a real-time manner?

A. Yes, you can use the snapshot function from the main control page.

Q. Can I access from anyplace from the Internet ?

A. Yes, you can access with some limitations from

(1) your office /home network outbound bandwidt h – In general, you can not exceed the outbound bandwidth you have. In most broadband network we have in place, the most popu lar DSL/cable modem comes with 384kbps outbound. It implies the best video qualit y and af fordable video is CIF format and between 20 to 30fps.

(2) Your office/home router/firewall setting – Most of router should have ca pability to allow IP device to be accessed externally. Please refer to your router user guide.

Q. What is ActiveX ? Where can I download it ?

A. ActiveX is Microsoft native runtime executable program which is very flexible to access and plug and play. Network Camera is required an download ActiveX plug-i n on the very 1st time access. Viewer will be asked to install the ActiveX where the 1st time access the network camera. Without ActiveX complete plug-in install, you will not be able to see a video screen on the home p age. When you access the network camera on the IE browser 1st time, your should be able to see a popup menu to ask the permission to install ActiveX.

Q. How many users are allowed to view the camera simultaneo usly?

A. The maximum logical number of viewers is 20. However , due to the network bandwid th allowance, it will be depend on the total bandwidth of the client accessing the camera. Plea se beware of that the maximum bandwidth for one stream could be up to 5Mbps. Unless you have 100Mbps of network infrastructure, unlikely you can enjoy D1 30fps with full bandwidth utilization on each stream with 20 users at the same time. On the other hand, if you have to have 20 users on a single 100M Ethernet network, please either limit the bandwidth usage on each stream or lower the vid eo size or lower the frame rate.

Q. Is this a real time device and if there is any delay ?

A. Yes, this is a realtime but with few frame of delay. The video compression is required to store few frames in advanced so that compression engine can compare the frame before and after to make the best effort justification to compress. Few frame of delay is inevitable .

Q. Can the camera be used outdoors?

A. The camera is not waterproof, so a special waterproof cover must be available for outdoor use. Please note that the waterproof cover may affect the built-in pickup function of the camera.

Q. Can this device ON for 24 hours ?

A. Yes, it is designed to be 24 hours operation.

Q. Can I mount on ceiling?

A. Yes, you may need to reverse the image from top page on camera positio n.

Q. How fast is the video frame rate of the network camera ?

A. The network camera can perform up to 30 fps which is up to human vision can differentiate the motion. MPEG4 can run full 30 fps in D1 and MJPEG could operate up to 15 fps in D1 video size.

Q. Can anyone out there on Internet can snoop the camera ? Or could we secure our privacy on the camera access?

A. The user authentication is level one to protect you from being hi-jacked. You can reallocate HTTP port to non-standard 80 HTTP for access as 2 port to access which is 3
