2. PoE (Power Over Ethernet) 802.3af PoE Switch is recommended
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard
LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such
as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for
network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera
locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.

40
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
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
41
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
“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”.
42
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
(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
certificate.
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.
43
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
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:
44
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
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 protocal, 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.
45
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
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:
46
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are
added when developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security
name( the same as "community name" in v1&v2c, or sometimes we call it
"context name") 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
47

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.
48

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
49
www.acti.com
www.iprosecu.com
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 Code-point)
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.
50

www.iprosecu.com
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

“http:// (IP address) /GetIPMAC.cgi” and press enter. The IP address and MAC
will be displayed on browser.
2. Find the .html file named “Universal Password” in CD-ROM. Click to open it.

The universal username and password are generated from the IP address and
MAC you key-in, so if you change the camera IP address, the universal
password changes, too.
4. Take the picture for example, the universal username is “C90848” and
password is “CNCE_U6KLA”. Use them to log in the camera.
5. Now you are logging in as administrator. Turn to User Management page.

The use of universal password does not affect the previous user setting, so the
administrator account password does not change until you edit it. Please click
“Edit” to give a new administrator password.
