ASSIGNING IP ADDRESS & ACCESSING NETWORK

VIDEO SERVER’S HOMEPAGE

Access via IP Addresses

To access the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.

To access NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, you first should assign an appropriate IP address.

When you assign an IP address to NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, make sure to use an

unoccupied IP address which is in the same subnet as the rest of your Network

• Network IP Address:

A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network.

Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations within

a closed Network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However,

connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoid

duplicates.

IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.

• MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address)

MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a network.

The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network

media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER is a 12-

digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each Network IP

Camera.

Important

NOTE

Please run the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the

same local network as the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

Installation Using Windows IP Installer

To install an IP address, you should use the IP Installer provided with NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

Note: The MAC Address can be found on the underside label of the NETWORK VIDEO

SERVER. The MAC Address always starts with MNS.

1) After you start IP INSTALLER it scans your network

for available NETWORK VIDEO SERVERS and

NETWORK IP CAMERAS. IP INSTALLER

displays all devices found in the list box.

2) In order to change one particular NETWORK

VIDEO SERVER (or NETWORK IP CAMERA),

simply highlight the entry in the list box. As you do

that the fields below will be populated with the

devices current settings.

3) Enter a new IP Address, Gateway Address, Subnet

Mask, (optional) DNS Server Address along with the

Admin’s ID (admin) and Admin’s Password (admin).

4) Enter a new IP Address, Gateway Address, Subnet

Mask, (optional) DNS Server Address along with the

Admin’s ID (admin) and Admin’s Password (admin).

5) Click on “Change Network Configurations”.

6) Wait for the Success Message.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

Information on IP Addresses

1. If you do not know which IP Address you have to enter in IP INSTALLER you should ask your

Network Administrator for an available IP Address.

2. In case you are installing Network IP Camera in Home Network which communicates to the

Internet using a Broadband Router, you should perform the following steps:

2.1. Find out the IP Range of your Network.

Example: Windows XP Home Edition

Click on: START -> Settings -> Network Connections.

Double-Click the Local Area Connection Icon and activate the Support Tab.

In the example above the Default Gateway is 10.10.8.1. That needs to be entered in IP

INSTALLER as the GATEWAY ADDRESS. In the example above the IP Address of the PC is

10.10.8.53; the camera can therefore have an IP Address of 10.10.8.xxx.

2.2. Find a free IP Address for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER

You need to find out which IP Address is not taken by any PC in the network, If you have a Router you can

look at the DHCP Server configuration. If your PCs all obtain an IP Address from the Router you can assign

an IP Address to the camera which is at the end of the DHCP range. Example: DHCP Range from 10.10.8.20

– 10.10.8.199

An IP Address at the end or beyond the DHCP range can be used for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

To verify that the IP Address is not taken you need to run the PING command from the command prompt for

that IP Address, i.e. ping 10.10.8.201.

If address 10.10.8.201 is not responding you can safely use it as the IP ADDRESS in IP INSTALLER.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

Assigning IP Address by using Hyper Terminal (Advanced Users only)

This chapter is for advanced users only. Normally it is not required to access the camera via

Hyper Terminal. The installation via IP INSTALLER is the preferred method. You may skip this

chapter and continue with “Accessing NETWORK VIDEO SERVER Homepage”.

Configuring Hyper Terminal

Hyper Terminal is a basic program for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP. A PC can communicate with

external devices through the serial port by using this program. The steps you should take to set the

Hyper Terminal are as follows in the case of Windows 2000 OS:

① Start Æ Programs Æ Accessories Æ

Communications Æ Hyper Terminal.

Select one of the icons and then enter an

② Select a serial port of PC, then click “OK”

button. (Usually COM1 or COM2 is

5. Press any key and then “Boot” Prompt shall appear as below.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

6. You can see Network Configuration while [Boot] Prompt is running by pressing ‘p’ key again.

Here, inet on ethernet (e), host inet (h) and gateway inet (g) values are network configuration

values. You should review these values and change accordingly. If you don’t know what value you

should assign, contact your network administrator.

Inet on ethernet (e) is IP address and subnet mask address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER. IP

address and subnet mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, IP address is

represented by decimal numbers delimited by dot (.) like ‘192.168.1.27’. Hexadecimal numbers

like ‘ffffff00’ in the case of ‘255.255.255.0’ represents subnet mask address. Note that the numbers

of subnet mask value are not delimited by dot. See the example in the above picture.

Host inet (h) is the address to which NETWORK VIDEO SERVER tries to connect to upgrade its

firmware program in flash memory. NETWORK VIDEO SERVER first searches this host on the

network on booting sequence. For more information on NETWORK VIDEO SERVER upgrade,

refer to “E. Updating NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s Newly upgraded Program”.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

Gateway inet (g) is the gateway address of Network Camera

7. Type ‘c’ key to change the network configuration in [Boot] prompt. If you type ‘c’ key,

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER shows you the information you can change its values and the

current assigned values. You can change as the following figure.

8. When you terminate hyper-terminal program after you changed network configuration,

hyper-terminal program asks you whether you saved the session. If you saved the session, you

can re-use the hyper-terminal. To re-use the session you saved, click Start --> Programs -->

Accessories --> Communications --> HyperTerminal --> NETWORK VIDEO SERVER

Network Video Server User’s Guide

1. ID and Password

If you key in a user ID and password, you can access the camera to monitor real-time video.

With administrator’s ID and password, you can access real-time video with administrator’s

authority. The default value of both user ID and password are “admin” and the administrator may

change it at the Administrator Menu. Each ID and Password must be composed of no more than 10

bytes (e.g. 10 English letters). The guest account of the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER (default

ID and Password “guest”) has no access to the administrator tools at all.

2. Behind Firewall

If your PC is connected on a network with a firewall, you may not view real time video properly

because the video TCP port is blocked behind a firewall. If you are behind a firewall, you may view

real time video through the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s Server Push Viewer that transmits

video through web TCP port instead of the video TCP port. By clicking on “Behind Firewall” menu,

you may directly connect to the Server Push Viewer when you access the NETWORK VIDEO

SERVER homepage.

3. Active-X for MS Explorer Users

For all Microsoft Explorer users, the Active-X Control program is required. The program will be

installed automatically when a user accesses the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER. For Active-X

installation on your PC, just click ‘Yes’ to the question “do you want to install the program” on the

pop-up window. If you cannot see images after installation, you should download and install

Active-X manually.

Windows 2000/XP Users, please note:

4) Java Applet for Macintosh or Unix/Linux System users and Windows Users who do not

use MS Internet Explorer

If you are using Microsoft Windows as the Operating System and use MS Internet Explorer as

the primary web browser, than there is no need to use the JAVA Applet.

In all other cases ActiveX technology is not available and JAVA is the option to go with.

Following users need to select JAVA:

- Linux Users (Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, …)

- Apple Macintosh Users (Safari, Firefox, MS IE)

- Windows Users (Firefox, Mozilla, Opera)

The JAVA Runtime Environment must be installed on the computer. In most cases this is the case.

But the latest Windows XP installations do not have JAVA installed by default.

JAVA can be obtained from SUN. The Web Site Address is: http://www.java.com

NOTE

1. When using JAVA instead of ActiveX, the following commands are not

available: Save Snapshot, Save AVI Video, View Image Only and Install XviD.

2. When using JAVA instead of ActiveX, the frame rate can be lower in

comparison. ActiveX gives the user usually a slightly better performance.

3. Users of MSIE and Windows who need to use JAVA instead of ActiveX,

perhaps due to high security settings, want to use Microsoft’s VM instead of

Sun’s JAVA Runtime Environment. Microsoft’s own JAVA VM requires fewer

system resources and has proven to be more stable.

The necessary settings can be changed in the Internet Options of MS Internet

Explorer (Tools->Internet Options ->Advanced -> enable Microsoft VM and

disable JAVA (SUN)).

Image Configuration

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER Image Parameters

1. Video Input

Network Video Server supports two different types of analog video Signals: NTSC and PAL. NTSC

is used in the United States mainly while PAL is being used across the globe, especially in Europe.

Ultimately this setting depends on the standard which the CCTV Camera you connect supports. If

the camera supports PAL you need to select PAL, even if you are located in the United States.

2. Compression rate

Level 10 = highest compression, smallest file, lowest image quality (recommended setting)

Level 1 = lowest compression, biggest file, best image quality

The file size of JPEG-compressed image depends upon the actual content of the image. Images

containing much detail will generate larger files. Image quality is controlled through the level of

compression; where high compression yields small files, while low compression maintains higher

image quality at the expense of larger files.

You will find that at level 10 the relationship image size <-> image quality is the best. Higher

compression values will increase the image quality slightly, but will also increase the resulting

image size dramatically.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

3. Image size

You may choose the image size VGA (640x480) or QVGA (320x240) and SQVGA (160*120).

Larger resolutions g lower frame rates while small sizes result in higher frame rates.

4. Vertical Flip

CAUTION

3. 1st, 2nd DNS server address

To map between IP address and domain name, you should enter you DNS server address.

If a user set the DNS server into camera, users can configure SMTP server, FTP server, and NTP

server with its domain name.

DNS (Domain Name System) is to map between IP address and domain name. Every network

device on the world has its IP address to be connected on Internet. And the device is to be

connected not with its domain name but with its IP address. Common users are not familiar with IP

addresses but the domain names.

If a user accesses a certain network device with its domain name, DNS server resolves the domain

name into an IP address of the device and replies the result to the user. A lot of DNS servers are not

on Internet worldwide.

4. SMTP server

This to enter the SMTP server IP address or host name to send camera system information by an

email. You should configure this first to get camera system information by email.

5. Use SMTP authentication

If you need user authentication for using the SMTP server, check in a box. and enter you ID,

Password and Realm for your SMTP server. (The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s SMTP

authentication is supporting “LOGIN” method)

- Authentication method: Choose the SMTP authentication method.

- ID : Enter the user ID for SMTP authentication.

- Password: Enter the user Password for SMTP authentication..

- Realm : Enter the Realm for SMTP authentication (standard users: leave empty)

6. DDNS Registration (Please refer to the ‘APPENDIX’ for details).

To register the IP Network Camera to DDNS (Dynamic Domain name server) server, check in a

“enable” box.

A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN

IP address is when you want to access your network over the internet. The solution to the dynamic

IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

7. ID, password

Enter the ID and Password to find the registered IP Network Camera in DDNS server.

8. Host Name

Enter the Host Name to find the registered IP Network Camera in DDNS server,

i.E. ‘yourhost.dyndns.org.’

Event Trigger Configuration

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER

can perform certain tasks

without user interaction. It can

send images via Email or

upload JPG images to an FTP

Server, i.e. an Internet Web

Server or a shared network

drive. It can trigger external

devices by supplying power to

the 12V output port. And it

can access shared network

drives for storage of JPG

images.

There are three trigger events:

1. Activated by external

security sensors. You may

connect external devices such

as Infrared Sensor or Alarm

Sensor to use with the

provided terminal block

(please refer to Appendix F –

The I/O Connector).

2. Activated by the internal

motion detection

3. Periodically every xxx

seconds.

Please note:

Only one trigger condition

should be selected at a time.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

1. Trigger Condition

This is to select option how to send an event signal to NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

① Activation of digital input port

The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER receives an event signal from external devices such as infrared

Sensor Alarm sensor etc.

The “Trigger Condition” (closed or opened) defines the alert state of the digital IO connector. There are

two types of sensors on the market.

One type of sensor keeps the circuit open and closes the circuit in case it detects a motion

-> Trigger Condition = closed.

The second type keeps the circuit closed and opens it in case it detects a motion.

-> Trigger Condition = opened.

② Motion Detection

This is to detect motion from camera by S/W data comparison. When you select “Motion detection”, the

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER detects a motion triggered by camera lens. To detect motion the camera

compares a previous image from present image. When the motion is detected, the camera recognizes the

data changing through comparing the previous image data with present one.

Please note:

It does not work at low light conditions or in darkness.

Motion detection sensitivity: Possible values are 0 to 9.

0 is the lowest sensitivity level. At this level the camera will detect virtually no motion.

9 is the highest setting. At this level the camera will generate a lot of false alarms. The changes in the

image caused by the JPG algorithm are enough to trigger an alarm.

Levels between 3 and 6 give good results and are therefore recommended.

③ Periodically

The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER performs the action based on a time interval (entered in seconds).

About “from … to ….”:

This controls the time window in which the trigger is active. The time is entered in the international 24 hour

time format. Example: 6 = 6 am. 20 = 8 pm.

CAUTION

Using NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s integrated Motion Detection Function for security

surveillance is not recommended as the function does not work as reliably as professional security

sensors. The use of 3

2. Image capture option

This is to configure image capture option when an event is triggered.

① Before Event

You may set the starting time to capture image before event is triggered.

(Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)

② After Event

You may set the finishing time to capture image after event is triggered.

(Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)

③ Image capture frame rate

Set the frame rate from 1 to 15fps when the image is being captured.

④ Image file name

You may designate image file name to send Email or FPT after image is captured.

All captured image are saved as a JPG file. (Example. “File name 000”.JPG)

⑤ Append to the image file name

You may append some information to Image file Name Camera IP address

Camera IP address : Ex) “file name _192.168.1.19.JPG

B. Date and time : Ex) “file name_20020218150030.JPG

C. Trigger condition flag

In case of choosing “Activation of digital input port”, “D” may be appended to image

file name. Ex) “filename_D.JPG”

In case of choosing “Periodically every…”, “P” is appended to image file name.

Ex) “filename_P.JPG”

D. Image sequence number

If you select this option, you may classify the file that has same extend name.

Consecutive numbers are from “000” to “999”

Ex) If you designate file name as “camera” and select “Image sequence number”,

then the file names are: “camera001.JPG, camera002.JPG ….camera999.JPG”

Configuration for image capture option affects memory capacity. If you configure this option to

excess memory size, the Warning message “ Not enough memory…” appears.

The total image capture frame rate is limited to 45.

(Before event time + After event time) x Image capture frame rate must be under 45.

For example, in case you configure “Before event” as 3 seconds, “After event time” as 2 seconds

and “image capture frame” as 3fps, the total image capture frame rate is (3 + 2) X 3 = 15 fps.

Image capture option limitation

Network Video Server User’s Guide

3. Trigger Output

Here you define which action the camera is to perform when a trigger condition is met.

1. External devices signal output

This is to supply voltage to output port when events are triggered. (This option is only

activated when you select “Activation of digital output” option in previous “Trigger

Condition” option.)

2. Send alarm to ETSP client (currently not available, option not useable at this point)

3. Send captured image via E-mail

This is to designate a person to receive captured image via Email.

NETWORK VIDEO SERVER sends captured image to designated E-mail address

through SMTP server. You may configure SMTP server and E-mail address where you

want to receive. (E-mail address must be composed within 50 bytes. 50 bytes = 50

English characters).

4. Send captured image to FTP server

This is to send captured image from NETWORK VIDEO SERVER when an event is

triggered. Enter ftp server IP address, User ID and Password and select directory to save

image. The FTP Rename Option should be used if the camera is set to replace an existing

image on a server every xx seconds. This option makes sure that the image on the server

will always show up for the visitors of your web site.

5. LAN Storage: Send captured image to Network Share/File Server/NAS

NETWORK VIDEO Server can also store JPG images on a Network drive, i.E. a shared

drive in your Windows Network Neighborhood, a NAS device or a Linux Samba share.

Network Share/File Server/NAS IP: IP Address of the share.

NetBIOS Name: optional, not required if IP Address is specified

User ID: The user ID required to access the of the shared network drive

Password: The password required to access the of the shared network drive

Network Share/Remote Directory: Name of the remote directory.

Image Rename: See FTP Rename Option.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

Time Configuration

This screen is to configure date and time.

1. Synchronized with NTP server

The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER automatically configures Date & Time through the NTP (Network

Time Protocol) server. The NTP Server is based on Greenwich time. Select NTP server, IP address and

Time zone. The Update Interval tells the Video Server how often to synchronize the internal time with

the external NTP Server. Possible values are 2880 minutes (= 2 Days) to 1 minute. The default value is

1440 which represents ‘once a day’ and should suffice for most applications.

In case the NTP Server you chose is no longer available you can find a list of freely available NTP

Servers at http://www.ntp.org/

The NTP Server can be entered with the Domain Name instead of the IP Address; however, this requires

the DNS Server entries in the NETWORK CONFIGURATION Screen to be filled out correctly.

(look for ‘Public Time Server Lists’).

2. Set manually

Enter the Date and Time manually, then click “SUBMIT”.

3. Enable Daylight Savings

This is to configure the Daylight Savings Time.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support

Power over Ethernet uses single Ethernet cable to transmit both power and data.

For PoE to work, the electrical current must go into the data cable at the power-supply end, and

come out at the device end, in such a way, as shown below, that the current is kept separate from

the data signal so that neither interferes with the other. The current enters the cable by means of a

component called an injector.

As the NETWORK IP CAMERA 550710 and NETWORK VIDEO SERVER 550000 are PoE

compatible, then they will function properly without modification when connected to PoE injector

directly using standard LAN cable as shown below.

Connect Ethernet from PoE

NOTE

As the embedded PoE modules of NETWORK IP CAMERA 550710 and NETWORK

VIDEO SERVER 550000 are slightly different from IEEE 802.3af standard, use

recommended PoE injector only. (Ask to where you bought 550710 or 550000)

Some of PoE switches in the market are not compatible with NETWORK IP CAMERA

B. Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

Asks for the features

1. What is a Video Server?

A Network Video Server is a network CCD camera server with an integrated Internet Server, image

compression device, flash memory, and many other features. No other hardware is necessary for

use.

2. What if I forgot my password?

Every access to Video Server needs authentication. If you are not a permitted user, you may view

the images or control the camera as long as the demo account is opened. The demo account user

may use username as guest without any password to access limited features. If you are one of the

managed users, you have to ask the administrators for the password. If you are the administrator,

there is no way to recover the root password. The only way to regain access to Video Server is to

restore the factory settings and reinstall it.

3. What is the advantage of the embedded OS?

Cameras with an embedded OS communicate directly with the user, the images or video is sent

directly from the camera to the person accessing the camera. A Network camera without an

embedded OS must rely on a third party server or a separate piece of software, meaning the

images/video is sent to the third party server, then the user access the image from the third party

server.

4. Do I need a public fixed IP address for each server?

No, that is not required. Using a free DDNS Server in addition to a router which is capable of

forwarding different ports (‘Virtual Server’) is all you need to install multiple cameras in a local

network and access them independently from the Internet.

5. Why can I NOT watch video from Video Server after it is authenticated?

There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem.

A. If you have just installed Video Server and are enable to watch the video, check if the video

input is enabled and the video modulation in configuration page.

B. If Video Server is correctly installed and you are accessing Video Server for the first time using

Internet Explorer, you need to adjust the security settings of Internet Explorer to allow the

installation of the plug-in.

C. If the problem still exists after adjusting, the current users may be over the system allows.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

D. In case that you use default account, the administrator may protect the video from the public.

6. How can I use a name instead of the IP address to connect Video Server?

To allow users to connect to Video Server through an easily memorized name, the administrator

must installs the Video Server with a reserved IP address and assigns it with a name in the domain

name service, then users can connect to Video Server by typing a name instead of IP address. If

there is DHCP service in the network, the IP address must be excluded in the DHCP service to

prevent from IP conflict.

7. What additional software is required?

Networking IP Cameras with an embedded Operating System (OS) should not need any additional

software. An exception represents Video Surveillance of multiple Network IP Cameras with the

capability of simultaneous recordings. In this case the use of a 3

is mandatory. A list of tested applications can be found at the INTELLINET NETWORK

SOLUTIONS Web Site.

8. How does the built-in motion detection work?

It very simply compares what it sees now to what it saw in the last frame and based on a sensitivity

you select will trigger an event. The event can be to send an email, to send an Image to a FTP

server, or to send a series of images (before and after the motion is detected) to an email address or

a FTP server-all with software built into the camera, nothing else is required.

Part Video Surveillance Software

9. What is the maximum length Ethernet cable I can use?

The same topology limitations that apply to any 10/100 Ethernet card apply, meaning the maximum

segment length is 100 meters from switch/hub to the camera

10. How much digital video can be stored on a normal 200-gigabyte hard drive?

Network IP Cameras equipped with a compression technology that can store almost a month of

continuous video on a 200-gigabyte hard drive.

11. What is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)?

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or "Active Ethernet" eliminates the need to run power to devices on a

wired LAN. Using Power-over-Ethernet, installers need to run only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable

that carries both power and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility and significantly

decreases installation costs in many cases.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

14. Can I view a Video Server image from my PDA?

Network IP Cameras can now be viewed on most Windows CE, including Pocket PC and Pocket

PC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 2005 devices, such as the Compaq iPAQ,

HP Jornada, Dell Axim, Casio Cassiopeia and many other devices.

The free Pocket PC Viewer can be downloaded from the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS

H. Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)

Your internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect

to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning

it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP

address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP address is

when you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic IP address

problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses.

Domain names, such as www.intellinet-network.com, are just easy to remember aliases for IP

addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP

address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several

excellent DDNS services available on the Internet and best of all they’re free to use. Two DDNS

services are www.ods.org

and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it. Please refer the home page or the

service for detailed instructions.

A DDNS service works by uploading your WAN IP address to its servers periodically, your

gateway-router may support DDNS directly, in which case you can enter your DDNS account

information into your router and it will update the DDNS servers automatically when your IP

address changes. Please consult your router’s documentation for more information. If your router

does not support DDNS, you can run a small client utility on any PC on your network which will

perform the updating. The client utility is usually provided for free by the service.

Check the service’s web page for further information, terms and conditions.

(ODS) and www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service

Network Video Server User’s Guide

How to use ODS DDNS service

1. Get access to ODS homepage (www.ods.org).

2. In case you didn’t register your ID, you should select ‘REGISTER’ menu and then

3. After you register ID/Password normally, you can see ‘Manage’ page.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

If you want to use normal DDNS service among many services, you should fill in the blanks in a

check box and then click “Add Host” button.

① Host: write name you want.

② Domain: Select domain you want.

③ Type: Select ‘A’ (‘A’ is normal)

④ Target: Write initial IP of equipment but just write any IP address that is in the form of

“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”

⑤ TTL Priority: Do NOT select. This is option.

If you want to select “intellinet.dyndns.org” for domain name, type ‘intellinet’ in the Host field

and then select dyndns.org for domain. Otherwise, please refer to the premium service.

NOTE

After completing DynDNS setting, you should activate DDNS support in Network Video Server.

See page 69 for details.

I. High Speed Solutions

This information is to help you access high-speed Internet services such as xDSL or a cable modem

connection. However, most high-speed Internet Services provide you with some external IP

addresses, there are several practical issues that should be considered.

AVAILABLE IP ADDRESS

ISP (Internet Service Provider) will provide you with several external static IP addresses ideally –in

which case you can assign any one of these to your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER to make it fully

accessible over the Internet. However, if your service provider supplies you with only one IP

number – which is often the case – this IP number is normally assigned to your PC-leaving no

connection available for your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

What can you do if your ISP is unable to provide you with an IP number?

There are a number of other options what you may like to consider: including:

NAT BOX

Short for Network Address Translation, NAT (Network Address Translation) is Internet standard

that allows a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a

second set of addresses for external traffic. A NAT box located where your LAN meets the Internet

will handle all of the necessary IP address translations and provides:

z Internal IP addresses that are unique to your network – with no possibility of conflict with

IP Addresses used by other companies and organizations.

z The possibility of combining multiple ISDN connections into a single Internet connection.

z An effective firewall for hiding internal IP addresses

NAT FEATURE IN WINDOWS 2000

Utilize the NAT feature in Windows 2000 to allow multiple Ethernet cards in your PC, and you can

then use one of port for the Internet and the other for your internal network. With this solution, you

can let your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER upload image streams to an external Web Server that is

maintained and located with your ISP.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

ROUTERS AND FIREWALLS

Another solution is to use one of several small routers/firewalls currently available on the market.

These provide the necessary NAT functionality and allow complete independence for your PC, which can be

switched off or rebooted without affecting the image transmission from your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

WINGATE SERVER SOFTWARE:

Running on a single Windows 9x/2000/XP computer, this software allows multiple users simultaneous access

to the Internet through a LAN or higher-speed line, such as xDSL or cable modem connection; and

effectively shares a single Internet connection with almost any type of client computer running TCP/IP.

For more advanced users, the WinGate 3.0 Standard and Pro versions also allow the administrator to change

the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed specifically to your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER –

running behind the WinGate software.

A typical Router Setup for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER looks like this:

You have to create a PORT FORWARDING (sometimes referred to as ADDRESS TRANSLATION or

VIRTUAL SERVER) in the Router configuration.

External port 80 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 80 (TCP)

External port 8080 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8080 (TCP)

("80" and "8080" are the default ports.)

You can setup multiple local Network IP Cameras in your LAN which can all be accessed from the

Internet with just one public IP Address. The key is to assign different ports to the local cameras.

Example:

Camera1:

External port 81 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 81

External port 8081 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8081

Camera2:

External port 82 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 82

External port 8082 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8082

You then can access the camera from the Internet using the following URLs:

http://your_ip_address:81

http://your_ip_address:82

K. Glossary of Terms

ActiveX – A control (or set of rules) used by a browser. ActiveX controls are often downloaded and

installed automatically as required.

ARP – Address Resolution Protocol. A method for finding a host's Ethernet address from its

Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another

host and waits for it (or some other host) to send back its Ethernet address. Each host maintains a

cache of address translations to reduce delay and loading. ARP allows the Internet address to be

independent of the Ethernet address but it only works if all hosts support it. The ARP command can

be used to set the IP – addresses for your product.

CGI – A standard for running external programs from a World-Wide Web HTTP server. CGI

specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the HTTP request. It also

defines a set of environment variables. Commonly, the program will generate some HTML which

will be passed back to the browser but it can also request URL redirection. A set of rules (or a

program) that allows a Web Server to communications with other programs.

DSL –Digital Subscriber Loop, A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow

high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and

telephone companies.

DHCP - A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a

local area network. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each

client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the

DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.

Ethernet – A widely used networking standard.

Firewall –A virtual barrier between a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, e.g. the

Internet.

Frame Grabber Card – Plug-in hardware for “grabbing” images.

Network Video Server User’s Guide

another computer over a TCP/IP network. Also the client program the user executes to transfer files.

It is defined in STD 9, RFC 959.

HTML - A markup language used to structure text and multimedia documents and to set up

hypertext links between documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web.

HTTP - A protocol used to request and transmit files, especially WebPages and WebPages

components, over the Internet or other computer network.

Intranet - A privately maintained computer network that can be accessed only by authorized

persons, especially members or employees of the organization that owns it.

IP – Internet Protocol. The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet

networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol.

It provides packet routing, fragmentation and re-assembly through the data link layer.

IP number (address) – A unique number used by a computer on the network to allow it to be

identified and found.

JPEG – A standard image format, used widely for photographs (also known as JPG.).

LAN – Local Area Network. A data communications network which is geographically limited

(typically to a 1 km radius) allowing easy interconnection of terminals, microprocessors and

computers within adjacent buildings. Ethernet and FDDI are examples of standard LANs.

PING - A protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgment, often

used to check if another computer on a network is reachable.

PPP – Point–to–Point Protocol. A method allowing one computer to connect to another, usually via

a modem over a phone line.

Protocol - A set of formal rules describing how to transmit data, especially across a network. Low-

level protocols define the electrical and physical standards to be observed, bit- and byte-ordering

and the transmission and error detection and correction of the bit stream. High-level protocols deal

with the data formatting, including the syntax of messages, the terminal to computer dialogue,

character sets, sequencing of messages etc.
