1. Introduction
1.1. Model 87A00-1 Camera Server
The 87A00-1 Camera Server is a device that transmits video and audio data via network in real-time. The server converts the analog video signals and audio signals into digital data and compresses them for on-line transmission. Cameras can then be viewed at home or over the Internet on a PC, OmniTouch 5.7e, OmniTouch 10p, or handheld mobile device, such as PDA, Smartphone, or other device running Windows (1112). Additionally, these cameras can be viewed on an iPhone
Since the server has a built-in web server and network interface, it may not require additional hardware, software, or programming (besides configuring IP address) to view live video transmissions. After connecting all the cameras to the Camera Server and configuring its IP address, the Camera Server can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection.
1.1.1. About the Camera Server
The 87A00-1 Camera Server is a 4-channel Camera Server that transmits video in high resolution with bi-directional audio in real-time via the network. The 87A00-1 supports various network environments such as high-speed Internet, cable, DSL, LAN, or WAN.
The 87A00-1 Camera Server provides high quality MJPEG encoding at D1 in real time and de­interlacing by the hardware.
The 87A00-1 Camera Server provides the high-performance interactive two-way audio.

when HAI WL3 is used.
1.1.2. Main Features
The 87A00-1 is designed for various applications, such as viewing cameras on an OmniTouch 5.7e, OmniTouch 10p, or handheld mobile device, remote monitoring, and Internet broadcasting with the user friendly interface.
Interface to External Equipment
The 87A00-1 Camera Server supports pan/tilt/zoom camera devices, alarm sensors, as well as other security equipment to customize the monitoring system.
Interactive Audio
In addition to the real-time motion picture and audio transmission, the 87A00-1 provides an interactive audio transmission function. To provide more precise information at the location, the 87A00-1 Camera Server allows users to hear audio and to watch video images simultaneously from the remote location where the 87A00-1 server is installed.

5.3.3. Multicast Settings
This page provides the multicast configuration of each channel. The addresses are a group of address which is required to receive data from the router.
The values in the boxes are default. You can set the values according to your network requirement.
The Camera Server supports only RTSP multicast (UDP/RTP Multicast is not supported).
25
5.3.4. DDNS Settings
For DDNS configuration setup, you must first create a DDNS account with dyndns.com
z Server Enable: Select YES to use DDNS. z Server Type : DynDNS (no other settings allowed at this time). z Address: www.dyndns.com z User ID: your user ID created at the Dyndns.com. z User PW: your password registered at the Dyndns.com (case-sensitive). z DNS name: your dynamic domain host server name. z Update time: Specify how often the dynamic domain server is updated (unit: minutes). z Port: Default value is -1. This means the DDNS feature is disabled as a default.
If you use DDNS, you can type the required port number for DDNS.
z IP Type (Real/Local):
Real represent the device’s public IP seen by DDNS server. Local represents the private IP address of device.
(no other servers allowed at this time).

Note: Only one dynamic host name is saved.
5.3.5. Advanced Settings
RTSP Port
This is the port number for first channel for RTSP. If a device has more than one channel, the port number of next channel succeeds the port number of the first channel.
For example, if the port number of first channel is 554, the second channel would be 555.
Web Port
This is the port number for HTTP.
User RTST Port
This setting is required ONLY when you have set ‘port forwarding’ on router device. If your network does not require port forwarding, just leave the “User RTSP Port” value empty or set it to the same value as the RTSP Port.
When “port forwarding” is done on a network router, the ActiveX viewer on the client side can’t find the port number and ActiveX image may not be seen. Because ActiveX is operated only on a client and not able to get the network setting values.
