DHCP: Using DHCP, IP CAMERA will get all the network parameters automatically. Static IP: Please type in IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS manually.

b. IPv6 Assignment

IPv6 is a newer numbering system that provides a much larger address pool than IPv4, which accounts for most of today’s Internet traffic. You can set up IPv6 manually by key in Address, Gateway, and DNS, or enable DHCP to assign the IP automatically.

c. Port assignment

(i)

(ii)

Web Page Port: setup web page connecting port and video transmitting port (Default: 80) HTTP Port:setup HTTPS connecting port (Default:443)

d. UPnP (Universal Plug and play)

This IP camera supports UPnP, If this service is enabled on your computer, the camera will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.” (i)

(ii)

UPnP Port Forwarding:

When the camera is installed under a router, Enable UPnP Port Forwarding to let the router open ports so that the video streams can be sent out from a LAN. Set Web Port, Http Port, and RTSP port, and make sure your router supports UPnPTM and the function has been activated. Note: UPnP must be enabled on your computer. Please follow the procedure to activate UPnP. <Approach 1>

• Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu

• Select Add/Remove Programs

• Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open Networking Services section

• Click Details and select UPnP to setup the service

• The IP device icon will be added to “MY Network Places”

• User may double click the IP device icon to access IE browser

• Open "My Network Space", and click "Show icons for networked UPnP devises" in the tasks column on the left of the page.

Windows may ask your confirmation for enabling the components. Click "Yes".

• Now you can see the IP devise under the LAN. Double-click the icon to access the camera via web browser. To disable the UPnP, click "Hide icons for networked UPnP devises" in the tasks column.

e. RTSP setting

If you have a media player that supports RTSP protocal, you can use it to receive the video streaming from IP camera. The RTSP address can be set for two streamings respectively. Please jump to Chapter V-C:"Video

Setting". There're setting field for RTSP address of two streamings.

(i)

(ii)

RTSP Server: enable or disable

RTSPAuthentication:

"Disable" means everyone who knows your camera IP Address can link to your camera via RTSP. No username and password are required.

Under "Basic" and "Digest" authentication mode, the camera asks the user to give username and password before allows accessing. The password are transmitted as clear text under basic mode, which provides a lower level of security than under digest mode.

Make sure your media player supports the authenticaton schemes. (iii) RTSP Port: setup port for RTSP transmitting (Default: 554) (iv) RTSP Start and End Port: in RTSP mode, you may use TCP and UDP

for connecting. TCP connection uses RTSP Port (554). UDP connection uses RTSP Start and End Port.

f. Multicast Setting (Based on the RTSP Server)

Multicast is a bandwidth conservation technology. This function allow

several user to share the same packet sent from IP camera. To use

Multicast, appoint IP Address and port here. TTL means the life time of packet, The larger the value is, the more user can receive the packet.

To use Multicast, be sure to enable the function "Force Multicast RTP via RTSP" in your media player. Then key in the RTSP path of your camera: "rtsp://(IP address)/" to receive the multicast.

g. ONVIF

Choose your ONVIF version and settings.

Under ONVIF connection, the video will be transmitted by RTSP. Be sure to enable the RTSP server in IP setting, or you're not able to receive the video via ONVIF. RTSP Keepalive:

When the function is enabled, the camera checks once in a while if the user who links to the camera via ONVIF still keeps connecting. If the connection had been broken, the camera stop transmitting video to user.

h. Bonjour

This function enable MAC systems to link to this IP camera. Key in the

name here.

The web browser "Safari" also has Bonjour function. Tick "Include Bonjour" in the bookmark setting, and you can see the IP camera appearing under the bonjour category. Click the icon to connect the IP camera.

i. LLTD

If your PC supports LLTD, enable this function then you can check the connection status, properties, and device position(like IP address) of this IP Camera in the network map.

In the computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can find LLTD through the path: Call out the Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and

Sharing Center → Click "See full map".

2. Advanced a. Https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): Https can help protect

streaming data transmission over the internal on the higher security level. You can select the connection type. "Https" means user cannot connect the camera via Http protocal. The Https path will be: "https://(IP address)/". If you select "Http & Https", both the Http and Https path can be used to access the camera.

(i) Remove the existing setting: Before setting new request, please

remove old secure identification. Select "Http" connection type and click "Remove".

(ii) Created Request: Setting the secure identification and apply it.

(iii) There are two ways to set Certificate- Install Signed Certificate or

Create Self-Signed Certificate.

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. (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.

(ii) SNMPv3:

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 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.

(iii) SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Trap:

Trap is a mechanism that allows the a 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.

• 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: ASNMPv3 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.

c. Access List

You can deny a 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 sequense,

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.

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.

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. 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 access the camera, please adjust the Management stream

e. IEEE 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control. It provides an authentication mechanism to device wishing to attach to a LAN or WLAN.

The EAPOL protocol support service identification and optional point to

point encryption over the local LAN segment.

Please check what version of the authenticator and authentication server support. This camera supports EAP-TLS method. Please enter ID, password issued by the CA, then upload related certificates.

3. PPPoE & DDNS a. PPPoE: Select “Enabled” to use PPPoE. Key-in Username and password

for the ADSL connection. Send mail after dialed: When connect to the internet, it will send a mail to a specific mail account. For the mail setting, please refer to Server settings.

b. DDNS:

It supports DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service.

(i)

(ii)

Enable this service

Key-in the DynDNS server name, user name, and password. (iii) Set up the IP Schedule update refreshing rate. (iv) Click “Apply” (v) If setting up IP schedule update too frequently, the IP may be blocked.

In general, schedule update every day (1440 minutes) is recommended

(vi) DDNS Status

• Updating: Information update

• Idle: Stop service

• DDNS registration successful, can now log by http://<username>. ddns.camddns.com: Register successfully.

• Update Failed, the name is already registered: The user name has already been used. Please change it.

• Update Failed, please check your internet connection: Network connection failed.

• Update Failed, please check the account information you provide: The server, user name, and password may be wrong.

4. Server setting The settings of Email, FTP and SAMBA are used when the event happens,

schedule snapshot executes, or the alarm input is triggered. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options. You can configure either one or all of them.

a. Mail Setting:

Set up the server address and account information of your e-mail. Click “Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” botton to test the server connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test e-mail will be sent to receiver’s mail address.

b. FTP:

Set up the server address and account information of your FTP. Click

“Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” botton to test the server

connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test file will be uploaded to FTP space.

In PORT mode, the FTP server builds the connection to the user’s data port actively. However, from the user-side firewall’s standpoint, the action of connecting from FTP server is often considered to be dangerous and should be blocked. In PASV mode, the problem is solved: The FTP server waits for the data transmission connection built by the user. Make sure that the server supports the mode you select.

c. Samba:

Select this option to send the media files via a network neighborhood when an event is triggered. Click “Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” botton to test the server connection. A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test document will be created in the location.

If the test failed, check the sharing setting of your location folder. The folder properties must be “shared” and the permissions must be “Full Control” as the picture.

keeps consistent all over the video. In VBR(Variable Bit Rate) mode,

the bitrate changes with the complexity extent of the video data.

VBR provides a better compression way and the file may be smaller.

However, the VBR file size cannot be predicted. (iv) Video Quantitative: The quality parameter of VBR. You can choose 1~10

compression rate (v) Video Bitrate: The quality parameter of CBR. You can choose

32kbps~8Mkbps. The higher the value is, the higher the image quality

is. (vi) Video Frame Rate: The video refreshing rate per second. The max

value is affected by the input resolution you choose. (vii)GOP Size: It means “Group of Pictures”. The higher the GOP is, the

better the quality is. (viii)Video Format: H.264 or M-JPEG (ix) RTSP Path: RTSP output connecting route.

d. 3GPP Streaming mode:

3GPP Streaming is designed for mobile viewing. Please lower the resolution, bitrate, or frame rate if the image flow isn't smooth when you use the mobile phone.

(i)

(ii)

Resolution: 640x480, 320x240, or 176x144

Video Bitrate: The higher the value is, the higher the image quality is. (iii) Video Frame Rate: The video refreshing rate per second. (iv) Video Format: H.264 or MPEG4 (v) 3GPP Path: 3GPP output connecting route. If the IP address of your

camera is 192.168.40.150, and you key in "3g" in the column, the 3GPP

path will be rtsp://192.168.40.150/3g.

The rtsp here is seperated from the rtsp setting in the "IP SETTING". 3GPP Streaming can still work even you select "disabled" in the rtsp server option of IP Setting.

3. Audio: IP Camera supports 2-way audio. Audio can be receive by the built-in mic

in the IP camera and transmitted to remote PC. User can also send audio from remote PC mic to IP Camera’s external speaker.
