VLAN

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer
network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). LAN is an abbreviation of local area network. VLANs
allow network administrators to group hosts together even if the hosts are not on the same
network switch. This can greatly simplify network design and deployment, because VLAN
membership can be configured through software. Without VLANs, grouping hosts according to
their resource needs necessitates the labour of relocating nodes or rewiring data links.

Note:

How to set up VLAN in switches, please refers to your switches user manual.

PPPoE

This camera supports the PPPoE auto dial-up function. The camera gets a public IP address by ADSL
dial-up after the camera is connected to a modem. You need to configure the PPPoE parameters of
the network camera.

Figure 4-4-8 PPPoE Settings

Note:

1) The obtained IP address is dynamically assigned via PPPoE, so the IP address always changes

after rebooting the camera. To solve the inconvenience of the dynamic IP, you need to get a
domain name from the DDNS provider (e.g. DynDns.com).

2) The user name and password should be assigned by your ISP.

SNMP

You can set the SNMP function to get camera status, parameters and alarm related information
and manage the camera remotely when it is connected to the network.
Before setting the SNMP, please download the SNMP software and manage to receive the camera
information via SNMP port. By setting the Trap Address, the camera can send the alarm event and
exception messages to the surveillance center.

NOTE:

1) The HTTP notification function is just one way for camera to send messages to VMS Software.

And it's the VMS that defines what the messages mean and decides what to do after receiving
this kind of messages. So, we can use the HTTP Notification function of our cameras only if the
VMS supports this kind of message format.
Here the Digifort will be taken as an example to introduce the HTTP Notification function.

The following are the detail steps of setting for HTTP Notification in Digifort VMS and our

cameras.

Step1: Enable Alarm; set Motion Region and Detection Schedule;
Step2: Confirm the HTTP Notification as Alarm Action, and fill the fields. Then save the

alarm setting;

HTTP User Name: admin (the user name of your camera)
HTTP Password: ms1234 (the password of your camera)
HTTP Notification URL:

http://IP:8601/Interface/Cameras/MotionDetection/Notify?Camera=CameraName

IP refers to the PC's IP where the Digifort installed.
8601 is the port for Motion signal in Digifort.
CameraName is the camera name you set in Digifort VMS, like the picture shown below.

Example:

http://192.168.8.75:8601/Interface/Cameras/MotionDetection/Notify?Camera=annie,

this url format is exactly supported by Digifort VMS, so we can set as above to our
cameras and get it work well.

Step3: Choose use motion detection by external notification;

File Format：MS-QR-JS-04 Rev1.0 Durability Date：1Year

48

Step4: If successful, you can see the device icon turn yellow in the Surveillance when the

camera is under Motion Detection Alarm;

So, it's the VMS Software which decides whether we can use this function successfully.
Step5: Set alarm settings.
