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.
Figure 4-4-7 VLAN Settings
Note:
1) 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
Page 53
File Format：MS-QR-JS-04 Rev1.0 Durability Date：1Year
47
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.

HTTP Notification
Support to pop up the alarm news to specified HTTP URL.
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 will take the Digifort 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: Check the HTTP Notification as Alarm Action, and fill the fields. Then save the
alarm setting;

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.
