ROI
A region of interest(often abbreviated ROI), is a selected subset of samples within a dataset
identified for a particular purpose. Users can select up to 3 key regions of a scene to transmit as
separate streams for targeted preview and recording.
By using Milesight ROI technology, more than 50% of bit rate can be saved and therefore less
bandwidth demanded and the storage usage reduced. So according to this, you can set a small bit
rate for high resolution.

UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among
networking equipment, software and other hardware devices.The UPnP protocol allows devices to
connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home and corporate
environments. With the function enabled, you don’t need to configure the port mapping for each
port, and the camera is connected to the Wide Area Network via the router.

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
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
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.
