DHCP: Using DHCP, IP CAMERA will get all the network parameters automatically.

Static IP: Please type in IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS manually.

b. IPv6 Assignment

IPv6 is a newer numbering system that provides a much larger address pool than IPv4, which accounts for most of today’s Internet traffic. You can manually key in IPv6 address, enable DHCPv6, and use automatically

generated IPv6 address simultaneously.

(i) (ii)

Manually setup the IPv6 address: Key in Address, Gateway, and DNS. DHCPv6: If you have a DHCPv6 server, enable it to assign the IPv6 automatically. The assigned IP address will be displayed beside the column.

(iii) Automatically generated IPv6 Address: Here indicates a virtual IPv6

address generated automatically by IP camera. This

virtual IPv6 address cannot use on WAN. To use IPv6 address to access the IP camera, please open the web browser, and key in [IPv6 address] in address bar. The [ ] parentheses

mark is necessary.

c. Port assignment

Web Page Port: setup web page connecting port and video transmitting port (Default: 80)

HTTP Port:setup HTTPS connecting port (Default:443)

d. UPnP (Universal Plug and play)

This IP camera supports UPnP, if this service is enabled on your computer, the camera will automatically be detected and a new icon will be

added to “My Network Places.”

(i)

(ii)

UPnP Port Forwarding:

When the camera is installed under a router, Enable UPnP Port Forwarding to let the router open ports so that the video streams can be sent out from a LAN. Set Web Port, Http Port, and RTSP port, and make sure your router supports UPnPTM and the function has been activated. Note: UPnP must be enabled on your computer. Please follow the procedure to activate UPnP.

• Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu

• Select Add/Remove Programs

• Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open Networking

• Now you can see the IP devise under the LAN. Doubleclick the icon to access the camera via web browser. To disable the UPnP, click "Hide icons for networked UPnP devises" in the tasks column.

e. RTSP setting

If you have a media player that supports RTSP protocol, you can use it to receive the video streaming from IP camera. The RTSP address can be set for two streamings respectively. Please jump to Chapter V-C:"Video

Setting". There're setting field for RTSP address of two

streamings.

(i) (ii)

RTSP Server: enable or disable RTSPAuthentication:

"Disable" means everyone who knows your camera IP Address can

link to your camera via RTSP. No username and password are required.

Under "Basic" and "Digest" authentication mode, the camera asks the user to give username and password before allows accessing. The password is transmitted as clear text under basic mode, which provides a lower level of security than under digest mode.

Make sure your media player supports the authentication schemes.

(iii) RTSP Port: setup port for RTSP transmitting (Default: 554) (iv) RTSP Start and End Port: in RTSP mode, you may use

TCP and UDP for connecting. TCP connection uses RTSP Port (554). UDP connection uses RTSP Start and End Port.

f. Multicast Setting (Based on the RTSP Server)

Multicast is a bandwidth conservation technology. This function allows several users to share the same packet sent from IP camera. To use

Multicast, appoint IP Address and port here. TTL means the life time of packet, the larger the value is, and the more users can receive the packet.

To use Multicast, be sure to enable the function "Force Multicast RTP via

RTSP" in your media player. Then key in the RTSP path of your camera: "rtsp://(IP address)/" to receive the multicast.

g. ONVIF

(i)

(ii)

Choose your ONVIF version and settings.

Under ONVIF connection, the video will be transmitted by RTSP. Be sure to enable the RTSP server in IP setting, or you're not able to receive the video via ONVIF.

Security:

Select "Disable", then the username and password are not required when accessing the camera via ONVIF. Select "Enable", then username and password are necessary.

(iii) RTSP Keepalive:

When the function is enabled, the camera checks once in a while if the user who links to the camera via ONVIF still keeps connecting. If the connection had been broken, the camera stop transmitting video to user.

h. Bonjour

This function enables MAC systems to link to this IP

camera. Key in the name here.

The web browser "Safari" also has Bonjour function. Tick "Include Bonjour" in the bookmark setting, and you can see the IP camera appearing under the bonjour category. Click the icon to connect the IP camera.

So far the Bonjour function on Safari browser doesn't support HTTPS protocol. If you select "https" mode for the camera, you can see the camera appearing on Safari's bookmarks but cannot access camera via it.

i. LLTD

If your PC supports LLTD, enable this function then you can check the connection status, properties, and device position(like IP address) of this IP Camera in the network map.

In the computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can find

LLTD through the path:

Call out the Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and

Sharing Center → Click "See full map".

2. Advanced a. Https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)

When the users access cameras via Https protocol, the transmitted information will be encrypted so that the security level is arisen.

You can select the connection type.

• Http: user can access the camera via Http path but cannot via Https

path.

• Https: user can access the camera via Https path but cannot via Http

path.

• Http & Https: Both the Http and Https path can be used to access the camera. When you change the setting of connection type, it may cause connection error or disconnection error if you switch the protocol directly. Therefore, Http & Https mode is necessary. If you want to change from Http to Https, please switch to “Http & Https” mode first, and then switch to “Https” mode. Vise versa.

Https protocol has certificate verifying mechanism. When the user access a website via Https, the browser will check the certificate of that domain and verify its trustiness and secure.

Certificate generation process:

(i)

Remove the existing certificate: Before you generate a new certificate, please remove installed one. Select "Http" connection type and click "Remove". If a dialog box pops up to ask you to confirm, click “Yes”.

(ii)

Created Request: Fill in the following form and click “apply”.

(iii) After you generate a certificate request, if you choose to

turn it to the trusted third-party to verify, please click “Content” and copy all the

request content.

(iv) According to the certificate source, there are two ways to install the

c e r t i f i c

a t e .

If you had sent the certificate request to do sign and received a signed certificate, please click” browse” and find the certificate file in your computer. Click “Apply” to install it. If you choose to generate a self-signed certificate, fill in the following forms and set validity day, click “Apply” to finish installed it.

After finishing installation, you can click “Content” to call out and check the certificate content.

(v)

To use Https to access camera, open your browser, and key in "https:// (IP address)/" in the address bar. Now your data will be transmitted via encrypted communications, and the browser will check your certificate status. If it shows you a warning message:

That means your certificate is self-signed or signed by distrusted institution. Click “Proceed anyway” and you can continue going to the camera page.

b. SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol)

SNMP provides a simple framework for administering networked hardware. To manage the IP camera, you have to prepare a MIB browser or similar tools first. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 can be enabled simultaneously.

The following examples are based on MG-SOFT MIB Browser. Depending on your MIS Browser, you may see different interface and

options. Please refer to the user manual of your MIB Browser.

(i)

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2:

The term "Community name" in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c can be roughly regarded as key. The person who has the community name has the authority to read or edit the information of IP camera via SNMP.

Tick the box to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol, and specify the community name for write(read and write) and read(read-only). The user who use read community name to access the IP camera cannot modify any data of this camera. The community name can be any

English characters and numbers, and must be shorter than 31 bits.

• Example:

Open the MIB Browser. Key in camera IP address (192.168.1.202), select SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, and key in the community name(Key in the

correct Read Community name “public”, the user has read

authority to camera; Key in the correct Read Community name “public” and Key in the correct Set community name “write”, the user has write authority to

Camera.). Connection succeeds.

(ii)

SNMPv3:

For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are added when developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security name(similar with "community name" in v1&v2c) but the password in order to access the IP camera. Please set security name, authentication type, authentication password, encryption type, encryption password of write and read respectively. The security name can be any English characters and numbers, and must be shorter than

31 bits. The password must be 8~64 bits in length.

Different from in SNMPv1 and v2c, the user have to create a account when using SNMPv3. In the account parameters, key in the security name and password you set in the camera to get accessing.

• Example:

Select SNMPv3, add new user, and key in correct security user name(write). Select the same authentication type with camera setting for authentication protocol(MD5), and key in authentication password of write security. Select the same encryption type with camera setting for privacy protocol (DES), and key in encryption password of write security. Click OK to add the user who has write authority to the camera. Connection succeeds.

If you want to add the new user who has read authority, key in correct security user name(public), key in authentication password of

read security, and key in encryption password of read security.

(iii) SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Trap:

Trap is a mechanism that allows the managed device to send messages to manager instead of waiting passively for polling from the manager. Specify the trap event. When those events happen, the camera will send the ring message to the Trap Address, which is usually the manager's IP address. Trap Community means the community that can receive the trap message.

Note: Trap Address must be under the same LAN with IP camera.

• Cold Start: The camera starts up or reboots.

• Setting changed: The SNMP setting is changed.

• Network Disconnected: The network connection was broken down. (The camera will send trap messages after the network being connected again)

• V3 Authentication Failed: A SNMPv3 user account tries to get authentication but failed. (Due to incorrect password or community)

• SD Insert / Remove: A Micro SD card is inserted or

removed.

• Example:

Open the MIB Browser. Use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 to access the camera. When the SNMP setting is edited, Manager ’s MIB Browser (192.168.40.159) will receive the trap message of “setting change“ from IP Camera (192.168.40.21).

c. Access List

You can deny an IP address or a range of IP address so that they cannot access the IP camera. Tick the "enable" box, key in the IP address you want to deny, select"deny" then click"Add" to add it to the list.

You can also choose to deny a range of IP address but allow one or several IP address of them. Take the picture above for example, IP address

192.168.50.151~161 are not allowed to connect to the camera, but only

192.168.50.159 can access. Note: In the list "allow" condition must be ranked before "deny" condition. For example, if we exchange the sequence, set "Deny:

192.168.50.151~192.168.50.161" for the first item and "Allow:

192.168.50.159" for the second item in the list, the IP "192.168.50.159" turns out to be denied by the camera because the "deny" condition has the priority according to our ranking way.

As for those IP addresses not included in the list, the

default is “allow”.

d. QoS/DSCP(Quality of Server/Differentiated Services Codepoint)

DSCP specifies a simple mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and provide QoS on IP networks. DSCP is a 6-bit in the IP header for packet classification purpose.

Set up instruction:

The number 0~63 for Live Stream, Event / Alarm, and Management represent the ratio that the bandwidth is divided. For example, if you set 5, 10, and 20 for the three items, then the bandwidth of the three item is 5:10:20. The item getting more bandwidth has lower probability to be delayed. There is no difference between setting "0, 0, 0" or "63, 63, 63" because under these two setting the three items will get equal bandwidth (1/3).

The three stream control the protocols respectively:

• Live Stream (Video and audio) : RTP / RTSP

• Event/Alarm : FTP / SMTP / SAMBA / SIP

• Management : HTTPS / HTTP / SNMP

Note: The "Management" stream handles both the live view and the setting area of the web page on which the data is transferred via http/https protocol. If you prefer to distribute more bandwidth when using the web browser to watch the live video, please adjust the Management Stream instead of Live Stream.

e. IEEE 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control. It provides an authentication mechanism to device wishing to attach to a LAN or WLAN. To use this function, you need a device to build IEEE 802.1x LAN at first.

The EAPOL protocol support service identification and

optional point to point encryption over the local LAN segment.

Please check what version of the authenticator and authentication server support. This camera supports EAP-TLS method. Please enter ID, password issued by the CA, then upload related certificates.

3. PPPoE & DDNS a. PPPoE: Select “Enabled” to use PPPoE. Key-in Username

and password for the ADSL connection. Send mail after dialed: When connect to the internet, it will send a mail to a

specific mail account. For the mail setting, please refer to Server settings.

b. DDNS:

It supports DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service.

(i) (ii)

Enable this service Key-in the DynDNS server name, user name, and password.

(iii) Set up the IP Schedule update refreshing rate. (iv) Click “Apply”

(v)

If setting up IP schedule update too frequently, the IP may be blocked. In general, schedule update every day (1440 minutes) is recommended

(vi) DDNS Status

• Updating: Information update

• Idle: Stop service

• DDNS registration successful, can now log by http://

<username>. ddns.camddns.com: Register

successfully.

• Update Failed, the name is already registered: The user name has already been used. Please change it.

• Update Failed, please check your internet connection: Network connection failed.

• Update Failed, please check the account information you provide: The server, user name, and password may be wrong.

4. Server setting The settings of Email, FTP and SAMBA are used when the

event happens, schedule snapshot executes, or the alarm input is triggered. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options. You can configure either one or all of them.

a. Mail Setting:

Set up the server address and account information of your e-mail. Click “Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” button to test the server connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test e-mail

will be sent to receiver’s mail address.

b. FTP:

Set up the server address and account information of your FTP. Click

“Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” button to test the server

connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test file will be uploaded to FTP space.

In PORT mode, the FTP server builds the connection to the user’s data port actively. However, from the user-side firewall’s standpoint, the action of connecting from FTP server is often considered to be dangerous and should be blocked. In PASV mode, the problem is solved: The FTP server waits for the data transmission connection built by the user. Make sure that

the server supports the mode you select.

c. Samba:

Select this option to send the media files via a network neighborhood when an event is triggered. Click “Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” button to test the server connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test document will be created in the location.

If the test failed, check the sharing setting of your location folder. The folder properties must be “shared” and the

permissions must be “Full Control” as the picture.

C. A/V Setting

1. Image Setting

For the security and privacy purpose, there are three areas

can be setup for privacy mask. Click Area button first and drag an area on the above image, and remember to save your setting. The masked area will not show on both the live view and recording.

Please refer to the details below for Image setting:

a. Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, Sharpness can be adjusted here.

b. AGC: Automatic gain control. The sensitivity of camera can

adjusts with the environmental light. Enable this function and the brighter image can be got

under dim light, but the level of noise may also increase.

c. Shutter Time: Choose as the location of your camera or fixed shutter time.

The shorter the shutter time is the less light the camera receives and the image becomes darker.

d. Sense-Up: This function increases the sensitivity of camera to

get brighter image at night. The smaller the value you select, the slower the shutter speed becomes so that the image will get brighter, and moving subjects might be blurred. Sense-Up option is only enabled when users select "outdoor" or "indoor" in shutter time option.

e. WDR: Wide dynamic range. This function enables the camera

to reduce the contrast in the view to avoid the dark zones resulting from over and under exposure.

f. Video Orientation: Flip or mirror the image as your requirement. g. Day & Night: The camera can detect the light level of

environment. If you choose "Light Sensor Mode", the image will be turned to black and white at night in order to keep clear.To set light sensor mode, appoint a lux standard of switching D/N here. Current lux value is provided for reference. Under "Times Mode" the switch time of Color / Black and white is according to

the given time. If you select "Synchronize with DI input", the image turns

to black and white when digital input is triggered. You can also control it by choosing "Color" or "B/W" .

h. White Balance: Enhance red / blue color in the image. i. Denoise: This function is able to filter the noise and blur from

the image and show a clearer view. "3D" and "2D" are two different denoising approaches.

3D denoise analyzes successive pictures to detect the noise

places while 2D denoise analyzes only single picture.

d. Network Dis-connected

To avoid video loss, the camera will start to save the video to local Micro SD card when it detect Ethernet cable is unplugged. The video recording will continuously be saved into Micro SD card and divided into every 5 minutes a file until

the network is reconnected successfully. The oldest file will be deleted if the capacity of Micro SD card is full.

This function is only enabled under wire connection.

e. Network IP check

The same with "Network Dis-connected" function, Network IP check is designed for avoiding video loss. Even when the Ethernet cable is plugged, the network might be sometimes not stable. Key in the target IP address and interval. The camera checks once in a while according to the setting interval time that if itself can access the target IP address. If PIN failed, the camera can start saving the video to Micro SD card. If PIN failed four times successively, the camera can reboot itself.

2. Schedule

a. Schedule: After complete the schedule setup, the camera

data will be recorded according to the schedule setup.

b. Snapshot: After enable the snapshot function; user can select

the storage position of snapshot file, the interval time of snapshot and the reserved file name of snapshot.

c. Interval: The interval between two snapshots.

3. I/O Setting

a. Input Setting:

IP Camera supports input and output. When the input condition is triggered, it can trigger the relay out; send the video to mail addresses /FTP server / SAMBA.

• Intervel: For example, if you select "10 sec" here, once the input

alarm is detected and action is triggered, it cannot be triggered again within 10 seconds.

• Based on the schedule: When the option box is ticked, only during the selected

schedule time the I/O is enabled. That is, for example, the 11th hour of Monday has not been colored in the schedule table, then no action will be triggered even the camera detects input signal during 11:00~12:00 on Monday.

b. Output Setting:

The output mode affects the DO or relay out duration.

(i)

(ii)

OnOff Switch: The camera triggers the external devise and lasts for certain of time according to the event "interval" setting. If it's triggered by motion detection, the triggering time is according to "interval" setting of motion detection. If it's triggered by external input alarm, the triggering time is according to input "interval" setting. It triggers the external devise and lasts for 10 seconds if you select "10" in interval setting. You can turn off the alarm manually by click "off" at the right bottom of the live video page. Time Switch: The camera triggers the external devise and lasts for certain of time according to the output "interval" setting, and the user is not allowed to break off the alarm manually.
