Internet connection

Connected Via a router

Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure

you have a router and follow the steps below.

1) Connect

your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet

environment is illustrated below.

Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Manually

Setting TCP/IP Settings for a Camera for details.

2) In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your

Network Camera is 192.168.168.100, please forward the following

ports for the Network Camera on the router.

 HTTP port
 RTSP port
 RTP port for audio
 RTCP port for audio
 RTP port for video
 RTCP port for video

If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please

open the ports accordingly on your router. For information on how

to forward ports on the router, please refer to your router’s user’s

manual.

3) Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP

(Internet Service Provider). Use the public IP and the secondary

HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the Internet. Please

refer to

TCP/IP Setup for details.

18

Connected directly to a Computer

You can also connect the IP Cam directly to a computer. Please note

that in this mode you will not be able to view your IP Cam from

anywhere else apart from the computer you are currently using.

Connect one end of the network cable in to the IP Cam Network

Connection socket, and plug the other end in to a spare network

port on your computer.

Connect the included power adapter to the power port on the

camera and the other end into an electrical socket. Do not turn the

power on at this time.

You must then assign your computer an IP address so it can talk

easily to the camera.

For Windows system:

1.

Open the Control Panel and double click on “Network

Connections” then right click on your “Local Ar

ea Network”

connection, and click Properties. Be sure to select the Network icon

that corresponds to where you have plugged the IP Cam in to – so

this would not be listed as a Wireless, WiFi or Bluetooth Network.

2. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” then click Properties.

3.

Take note of your current TCP/IP Settings and then click on “Use

the following IP settings”

4. In the “IP Address” Field type in the number 192.168.168.20

5. In the “Subnet Mask” type in 255.255.255.0

6. Leave “Default Gateway” setting blank

(The camera will

automatically assign itself this IP address when no DHCP server is

present)

7. Leave DNS server settings blank.

8. Click “OK” then “Close” to apply these settings.

9. Turn the power on to the IP Cam.

The Connectivity Status indicator on the front of the camera will

Manually Setting TCP/IP Settings for a Camera

In most cases, this is not required as the router will assign the correct

settings to the camera. It is however useful if you want to setup the

TCP/IP settings of the camera before you connect to it, if DHCP is

disabled across your network, or if you have subnet network

problems.

1) Launch Camera Setup program to detect cameras on the local

network.

2) Click on “Setup” button and the following setup interface will pop

up.

3)

Enter a unique name for the camera, the location (optional) and

leave the default port number as 80. “Obtain an IP address

automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” are

selected by default, if you are confident enough to enter your own

settings, you can do so by selecting “Use the following IP address” and

follow the guidelines on the next page.

4) To obtain the IP addresses specific to your network, click “Start”

then “Run” and type “cmd” in the text box and click “Ok”. The will

bring up the MS-DOS prompt and in this window type “ipconfig/all”

and press enter. A screen similar to the one below will be displayed.

21

5) Take Notes of the following:

a. IP Address

b. Subnet Mask

c. Default Gateway

d. DNS Servers (Both numbers with the first being the primary DNS

server and the second being the secondary DNS server)

6) Enter the details Noted in step 5 into the relevant fields.

Notes: The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.168.100This

can be changed to any IP address on your IP range.

 For example if the IP address of your PC is 192.198.1.52
 then the IP address of your camera should be unique and on the

same subnet

 i.e. 192.198.1.X where X is any number between 1 and 255 except

52

Ensure the IP address you chose is not the same as other network

devices on your network as this will result in conflict and may cause

the device to not to work properly.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

Port Forwarding

The UPnP Setup of camera show a method of Port Forwarding（see page 40 for details）， but some routers maybe can’t support UPnP Port

Forwarding, therefore, users need to configure Port Forwarding manually.

Firewall security features built into the router may prevent users from accessing the camera over the Internet. The router connects to the

Internet over a series of “ports”. The default ports used by the camera are usually blocked from access over the Internet, therefore, these ports

need to be made accessible. This is achieved using the Port Forwarding function on the router. The ports used by the camera must be opened

through the router for remote access to your cam

era. Check your router’s user manual for specific instructions on how to open and route ports

on you router.

Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used Internet ports. Check with your ISP in order to open the appropriate

ports. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the camera’s default port number from 80 to a different number such

as 9000.

Viewing Your Camera

To access the camera from a computer on your local network, simply enter the IP Address of the Camera followed by a colon and the camera’s

port number. It is not necessary to enter the colon and port number if you are using the camera’s default port 80.

To access the camera from the internet, type the external IP Address of the router,

followed by a colon, and the port number of your camera

(e.g., Http://210.118.166.68:9000).

68

Proxy Server Setting

A proxy server may prevent you from connecting to the camera in some corporate

environments. The web browser can set up the IP address communication without

using a proxy server. Consult your ISP or network administrator for further details.

1. Start Internet Explorer.

2. Select [Tools] –> [Internet Options...] –> [Connections] tab and click [LAN

Settings].

Verify that the Use a proxy server check box is not checked. When checked, click

[Advanced...].

When not checked, click [Cancel]. Your proxy server settings should not cause any

problems.

Notes: A proxy server is generally used to maintain security on a network when

connected to the internet. The proxy server may cause lack of image quality and

delays in refresh intervals. Consult your ISP or network administrator for further

details.

3. Enter the IP address of your camera into the Do not use proxy server for

addresses beginning with data field

4. Click [OK] on all of the opened windows.

Glossary of Terms

1. Network Camera: A stand-alone device which allows users to view

live, full motion video from anywhere on a computer network, even

over the Internet, using a standard web browser.

2. JPEG: A standard image format, used widely for photographs, also

known as JPG.

3. IEEE 802.11b/g: The specifications developed by the IEEE for

wireless network technology. It provides 11 Mbps transmission in the

2.4GHz band usage.

4. WEP: Wireless Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for wireless

network defined in the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. WEP aims to provide

security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as

it is transmitted from one end point to another.

5. AdHoc Mode: A wireless network system in which devices

communicate directly with each other, without the use of a wireless

router.

6. Infrastructure Mode: One of the wireless network system in which

devices communicate with each other by first going through the

wireless router.

7. IP Address: The unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer

connected to the Internet. IP numbers are used by the TCP/IP protocol

to route packets of data to their destinations.

8. TCP/IP: The collection of "protocols" underlying the functioning of

the Internet. Each computer connected to the Internet is identified by

a unique IP Address.

9. SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

10. FTP: File Transfer Protocol. Network cameras equipped with an

embedded operating system, such as Linux, can use FTP to send

images to a website.

11. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a set of rules used

by communications devices such as a computer, router or network

adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a

server which has a list of addresses available for assignment.

12 UPnP: Universal Plug and Play is an architecture for pervasive

peer-to-peer network connectivity of intelligent appliances and

wireless devices.

13. DDNS: DDNS is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a

dynamic IP address with your Network Camera. You can set up your

DDNS service and the device will automatically update your DDNS

server each time it alter a different IP address.

14. Time server: A time server consists of a computer networking

device that reads the actual time from a reference clock and

distributes this information to its clients using a computer network.

15. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2 ) is a class of systems

to secure wireless (

Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA implements the

majority of the

IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an

intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was

prepared.
