General

• IP address

This is necessary for network identification.

• Subnet mask

This is used to determine if the destination is on the same subnet. The
default value is “255.255.255.0”.

• Default gateway

This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different
subnet. An invalid gateway setting will fail to transit to destinations in a
different subnet.

• Primary DNS

Primary DNS is the primary domain name server that translates
hostnames into IP addresses.

• Secondary DNS

Secondary DNS is a secondary domain name server used to backup
the primary DNS.

• Web Server port

The default web server port is 80. Once the port is changed, the user
must be notified of the change for the connection to be successful. For
instance, when the Administrator changes the HTTP port from 80 to
8080 of the IP Camera which has an IP address of 192.168.0.103, the
user must type “http://192.168.0.103:8080” in the web browser instead
of “http://192.168.0.103”.

Advanced

• RTSP port

RTSP port could be set from 1 to 65535. (Default Setting Port: 554,
1024 ~65535)

• MJPEG over HTTP port

The default setting of HTTP Port is 8008; available range: 1024 ~65535.

NOTE: Choose a different port from the one set for the web server.

22

5.3.4 DDNS

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) allows a host name to be constantly
synchronized with a dynamic IP address. In other words, it allows those using a
dynamic IP address to be associated to a static domain name so others can
connect to it by name.

Enable DDNS

Check this item to enable DDNS.

Provider

Select one of the DDNS host from the provider list.

Host name

Enter the registered domain name in this field.

Username/E-mail

• Sampling pixel interval [1-100]:
The default value is 10, which means the system will take one sampling
pixel for every 10 pixel.

• Detection level [1-100]:
The default level is 10. The item is used to set the detection level for
each sampling pixel; the smaller the value, the more sensitive it is.

• Sensitivity level [1-100]:
The default level is 80, which means if 20% or more of the sampling
pixels are detected differently, the system indicates motion. The larger
the value, the more sensitive it is. When the value is larger, the red
horizontal line in the motion indication window will be lower accordingly.

• Time interval (sec) [0-7200]:

The default interval is 10. The value is the interval between each time
motion is detected.
