PPP settings

Here you can tick to enable PPP (ADSL) service: connect camera with internet

service provider)

UPnP Settings

UPnP service is used for automatic port forwarding configuration. If your router
also has this function, once you enabled both camera and router UPnP function,
port forwarding will be set automatically.
Port forwarding: also called port mapping. Basic working theory: It is by
forwarding the local IP address and the port number of the camera to the
connected router which will then forward them to an external IP address on
internet to enable camera’s DDNS service.
After DDNS service enabled, you can login camera with DDNS and camera port
remotely via internet by using a web browser.

DDNS Service Settings

This function is used for login camera via internet from remote place. Please
refer to FAQs part to learn more about it.

Manufacturer’s DDNS: We’ve embedded a free DDNS in this camera, and its
default status is off.
3rdparty DDNS: you can register a private DDNS domain yourself.

P2P settings

P2P setting is also used for camera remote viewing, which is much easier than
DDNS + Port forwarding settings.
GUID (camera’s P2P UID code), it is a sole code of every single camera, which is
used on IPCamClient, please refer to HT-IP210P user manual part 1 (windows).

 Fire Fox & Chrome Browser

It is almost the same when login HT-IP210P via Fire fox or Google Chrome
browser:

- Please install the VLC player in installation CD, or download it

fromhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/, as fire fox & chrome has no
active-x plug-in, only support push mode to view camera.

- Some features like record, two way audio features are also not available

on fire fox and chrome browser, here we recommend you to download
a plug-in: IE Tab 2 to solve this problem.

This add-on will transfer current tab into an IE core tab, then you can use all
features like you do on IE.
