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.

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

Table 4-4-6 Description of the buttons

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:

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

Figure 4-4-7 VLAN

59

the network camera.

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

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

Parameters

Function Introduction

SNMP v1/2/3

The version of SNMP, please select the version of your SNMP software.

SNMP v1: Provide no security

SNMP v2: Require password for access

SNMP v3: Provide encrytion and the HTTPS protocol must be enabled

Figure 4-4-8 PPPoE

Note:

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).

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.

Alarm to SIP Phone

Support to call the SIP phone after enable the SIP function.

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.

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 Mothion signial 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,
