2) Network
The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be
enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using
IPv4, the IP address for the network camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static
IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is also an option of using
the Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the network, please see
”System > Network > Basic”.
• Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a pro-
tocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment
of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server
is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a
static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.
• Use the following IP address: To use a static IP address for the network camera,
check the radio button and then make the following settings:
– IP address: Specify a unique IP address for your network camera.
– Subnet mask: Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on.
– Default router: Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for
connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.
NOTES:
1. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP
server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the network camera
by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may
have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
2. The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or
as soon as an IP address is set.
3. Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

– Codec: The codec supported in Stream 1 is H.264.
There are 3 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. Choose
the form of video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
∗ H.264 HP (High Profile):
Primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for
high-definition television applications (for example, this is the profile adopted
by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB HDTV broadcast service).
∗ H.264 MP (Main Profile):
Primary profile for low-cost applications that require additional error robustness, this profile is used rarely in videoconferencing and mobile applications;
it does add additional error resilience tools to the Constrained Baseline Profile. The importance of this profile is fading after the Constrained Baseline
Profile has been defined.
∗ H.264 BP (Baseline Profile):
Originally intended as the mainstream consumer profile for broadcast and
storage applications, the importance of this profile faded when the High Profile
was developed for those applications.

– Resolution:
This enables users to determine a basic screen size when having an access
through the Web Browser or PC program. The screen size control comes in seven
modes like 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1280x720, 1024x768, 704x576,
704x480, 640x480, 640x360 and 320x240. Users can change the selected screen
size anytime while monitoring the screen on a real-time basis.
– Bitrate control:
The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constrained Variable Bit
Rate (CVBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using
up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in
the monitored area. Limiting the maximum bit rate helps control the bandwidth
used by the H.264 video stream. Leaving the Maximum bit rate as unlimited
maintains consistently good image quality but increases bandwidth usage when
there is more activity in the image. Limiting the bit rate to a defined value prevents
excessive bandwidth usage, but images are degraded when the limit is exceeded.
∗ VBR: unlimited maximum bitrate.
∗ CVBR: VBR with maximum bitrate which is set in Bitrate .
– Bitrate: Maximum bitrate for CVBR in the range of 100kbps ∼ 8Mbps.
This is disabled if Bitrate control is set to VBR.
– Frame rate:
Upon the real-time play, users should select a frame refresh rate per second. If
the rate is high, the image will become smooth. On the other hand, if the rate is
low, the image will not be natural but it can reduce a network load.
– GOP size:
Select the GOP (Group of Picture) size. If users want to have a high quality of
fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general
monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem
to the system performance. For the details of GOP setting, please contact the
service center.
• Stream 2 Setting:
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the
frame rate and quality helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion
JPEG video stream in these situations. Limiting the frame rate and quality optimizes
bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased
bandwidth and storage usage, the Resolution, Frame rate, and Frame Quality should
be set to an optimal value.
– MJPEG Resolution: Same as the stream 1 settings.
– MJPEG Frame rate: Same as the stream 1 settings.
– MJPEG Quality: Select the picture quality. If users want to have a high quality
of fast image one by one, please decrease the value. For the purpose of general
monitoring, please do not change a basic value. Such act may cause a problem
to the system performance.
• Stream 3 Setting: Same as the Stream 1 Setting.

2) Auto Focus
• Mode: Determines focus operation method.
– Auto: Auto Focus is always active.
– Manual: User can manually focus the camera when camera is not moving. Auto
Focus becomes active when camera moves and about 5 seconds after movement
stops.
– One Push: Basically the same as Manual mode except that Auto Focus is acti-
vated only after the camera movement stops and lasts for about 5 seconds.
• Focus Limit: Minimum distance for Auto Focus operation. Object nearer than this limit
may not be clearly focused.
• Speed: Focus speed can be adjusted in the range of 1 - 8.
NOTE: Avoid continuous, 24-hour use of the auto focus. This will shorten the lifespan of the
lens.
When the settings are complete, click Save button to save the settings, or click Reset button
to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

3) Webcasting
The live video of the camera can be streamed to a website. User can copy and paste the
HTML code generated on the screen to the website page code, where user wants to display
live video.
NOTE: To use webcasting service, the Enable Anonymous viewer login option must be
checked.
