3. Network Deployment

NCB855E/NCB855PRO l User Manual 11

3. Network Deployment

3.1 Network Connection Types

There are many different ways that you can connect the camera to your network, depending on
your applications requirements. You should always set the camera’s network settings according to
your network congurations. The following diagrams depict some typical applications with guidelines
on network settings. For more information on network settings, always consult with your network
administrator or ISP as required.

Type 1— Direct Connection to a PC

Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable.

To extend the connection length, you should use a RJ-45 female/female coupler to connect two
Ethernet cables together.

RJ-45 Coupler

Note

Although an RJ-45 coupler is used to extend the connection length, the total length between the PC
and the IP camera must not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). The LAN port of the camera supports auto
MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface crossover) so there is no need to use cross-over cable.

To access the camera, the PC must be on the same network as the camera. The default IP address of
the camera is a static one (192.168.1.30). Congure your PC’s IP address as 192.168.1. X (where X
is a number between 2 to 254, excluding 30 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, and then your PC
should be able to access the camera.

Type 2: Connecting Camera(s) to a Local Area Network (LAN)

To add the camera(s) to an existing LAN, just connect the camera(s) to the hub or switch on your
network. If you want to provide the camera power via the Ethernet connection, a PoE compliant hub/
switch is required.

Note

The LAN port of the camera supports auto MDI/MDIX (Medium dependent interface crossover) so
there is no need for an uplink port or the use of a cross-over cable.

3. Network Deployment

12 NCB855E/NCB855PRO l User Manual

Assign an IP address to your camera following your network IP allocation policy. You can manually
specify the IP address or allocate the IP address automatically using a DHCP server, if available on
your network.

Then, you can monitor and manage the camera via a web browser from a local PC.

Router/Switch/Hub

Type 3: Remote Connection via the Internet

If the network where the camera resides is connected to the Internet, you can also provide remote
access to your camera over the Internet.

Typically a broadband router has a built-in DHCP function to assign a local IP address to your camera.
You can alternatively assign a xed IP address to the camera to prevent it from frequently changing.

Router

xD SL /Cable
Modem

To access the camera from a local PC, simply use the local IP address of the camera.

To enable remote access, you must congure your router/rewall to forward an incoming request to
that xed local IP address of the camera. Therefore, when an external host sends a request to access
your camera, the request will rst reach the router’s external IP address and then be forwarded to
the local IP address of the camera.

Port forwarding is based on the service you want to provide. For example, forward HTTP port to
enable remote web access to your camera, or RTSP port to enable access to video/audio streams
from the camera.

If your camera is congured to use a non-standard HTTP port, then you have to forward that port
accordingly.

3.2 Accessing the Camera for the First Time

3. Network Deployment

Variable Bit Rate (VBR): VBR keeps the video stream quality as constant as possible by varying

bit rate. This mode ensures high quality image for motion scene and is often selected when image
quality demands priority. However, this mode requires more bandwidth in order to vary the bit
rate.

Constant Bit Rate (CBR): CBR maintains a specic and constant bit rate by varying the stream

quality. With CBR, streaming is smooth and network throughput is stable for any scene. This
mode is typically used with a limited bandwidth environment.
