3.3.5 UPnP

Figure 3.33

The camera’s software will be configured for port forwarding. There may be issues with your routers security settings, and sometimes may error. We recommend you configure port forwarding manually on your router (Figure 3.30).

3.3.6 Port

This camera supports HTTP Port and Media Port. The Media port is used to view the camera’s video stream, HTTP Port is used to access the camera remotely. If you want to access the camera and view the video, the Media Port and the HTTP Port must both be configured correctly.

HTTP port / Media port: By default, the HTTP port is set to 88 and the Media port is set to 888. Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1 and 65535. But make sure they canl not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21.

Figure 3.34

Another way to change the HTTP port no.

Step 1: Open the IP Camera Tool, select the camera you would like to change the port of, right

click on the IP address, and click on ”Network Configuration”, this brings up the network configuration box as shown in Figure 3.35 and 3.36.

Select which camera you’d like to change the port for, and right click

Modify the Http Port.

Enter the Username and password, click OK.

Figure 3.35

Figure 3.36

Step 2: Enter the username and password of the Administrator (default username is admin with

a blank password), and click “OK” to apply changes.

Step 3: Wait around 10 seconds, you’ll see that the camera’s LAN IP address has changed. In

our example it was changed to 2000, so we see http://192.168.8.102:2000 in IP Camera Tool. Also, the LAN IP address is now fixed at a static IP address of http://192.168.8.102:2000. This IP address will not change even if the camera is powered off and back on, the camera will remain on this LAN IP address. This is very important that a static LAN IP address is set, or you may have problems later with remote access and seeing the camera remotely if the camera loses power and reconnects on a different LAN IP address. Make sure you set a static LAN IP address!

3.4 Video

This section allows you to configure Video stream settings, On screen display and Snapshot settings.

3.4.1 Settings

Figure 3.37

Stream type: There are four types to identify different streams you have set.

Resolution: The camera supports two types: 720P, VGA. The higher the resolution is, the

clearer video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth.

Bit rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well.

Frame rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.

Key Frame Interval: The time between last key frame and next key frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get a better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption.

NOTE: Make sure that your firewall or anti-virus software does not block the camera or ActiveX. If you could not see video, please shut down firewall or anti-virus software to try again.

4.1.7 Can’t access IP camera in internet

There are some reasons: 1 ActiveX controller is not installed correctly 2 The port which camera used is blocked by Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change another port number and try again. (Figure4.7) 3 Port forwarding is not successful(Figure3.30) Check these settings and make sure they are correct.

4.1.8 UPnP always failed

UPnP only contains port forwarding in our recent software. Sometimes, it may be failed to do port forwarding automatically because of firewall or anti-virus software. It also has much relation with

router’s security settings. So we recommend you do port forwarding manually. You can view

your camera in internet successfully after you do port forwarding manually in your router.

4.1.9 Camera can not connect wireless

If your camera could not connect wireless after you set wireless settings and plug out the cable. Please check whether your settings are correct or not. Normally, camera can’t connect wireless mainly because of wrong settings. Make sure broadcast your SSID; use the same encryption for router and camera.
