Wireless Installation Considerations

The PHYLINK wireless IP security camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your Network Camera) - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

IMPORTANT! - The is NOT approved for outdoor use - thePLC-128 series product may only be installed in indoor environments.

have a feature that combines the excellent daytime color with theIR night vision.

During the day, an optical“IR Cut filter” removes all IR light. This makes the camera's vision similar to a human eye which does not seeIR light, and therefore all colors appear vivid and natural to us. At night, the filter moves out of the optical path to enable IR night vision. You can actually hear a muted click when this filter moves I n or out. This happens both during power-up and when light levels change between day & night.

Note: If you are using the cameras to look through a window, you should set the night vision mode to turn off the IR LEDs and instead turn on the automatic moonlight mode. Otherwise the IR LEDs would reflect off the window glass and the glare would make everything almost invisible.

DDNS Setup

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is simply a way of using a static hostname to connect to a dynamic IP address.When connected to yourISP, you are assigned a temporary IP address. DDNS services keep track of your IP address and route your Domain name to that address when you wish to connect to the camera from a remote location.

4. Click Apply to confirm your settings.

Guide to you setup DDNS by a example

Looking up the current IP address can be inconvenient, and buying a static IP address is an unnecessary monthly expense. There is an example to guide you how to setup a DDNSof camera.

Choose a Dynamic DNS service

www.no-ip.com and www.dyndns.com are the recommended companies for “Dynamic DNS” service. Also known as DDNS, this is a totally free service that allows your own name to be assigned to your camera. This name takes the place of the IP address. Together with software in your camera this also makes sure the name for your camera is always updated with the correct IP address.

PHYLINK Covert Network Camera User Manual

Section 3 - Advanced Configuration

Create a free DDNS account

First you create a free account with one or both of these companies. We’ll take www.no-ip.com as an example. The “create account” function is on the top right under the Username/ Password fields. Do not register a domain or sign up for any other paid services. You just need the free account. Once you have an account and once you validated it by responding to their email, log in and select” Hosts/ Redirects” on the top left of the screen, then “Add Host”. For Hostname, pick anything you like as a name for your camera, except do not use spaces. Use only lower case letters and numbers. Then click on the domain names you can pick from, as well as some that they consider premium names worth paying for. For example, you could pick servehttp.com as your demo cameras.

Then be sure that only“DNS Host (A)”is selected. Don’t worry about the current IP address and don’t change anything else. Click on“Create Host”and you’re done! Please write down your complete hostname as well as the username and password you used for logging in to No-IP.com as you’ll need it for the next step. DynDNS.com is very similar but in their case there is an additional step of checking out a shopping cart with a zero dollar fee.

Updating of your Camera’s Internet IP address

In the previous step we set up a name for your camera.To make sure that this hostname always corresponds to the correct IP address for your camera we have to make sure it is updated automatically when there is a change. There is no need for client software. Our IP cameras have a menu that allows you to enter your hostnameDDNS information.This menu is under“ ” in the camera’s “ ”.DDNS Network Settings Be sure to select the provider, for instance if you signed up with No-IP.comDDNS you should select No-IP in the camera’s menu.DDNS

Note: If UPnP did not work, and if you have an up to date router other than Apple Airport, it is worth double checking if UPnP is enabled in your router. Some Routers like the ActionTec and Westell units distributed for free with Verizon and Qwest DSL service have the feature initially disabled. Usually it is very simple to enable UPnP. You just need to log in to your router’s setup screen and find the UPnP menu. Then you click on enable, save the setting and restart both the router and the camera (in that order). Many routers may need a firmware update for UPnP to be available or work properly. You should look up your router’s model number on your router manufacturer’s support web page to see if updates are available.

Recording to NAS

Getting your camera recording to a NAS drive, please follow 3 steps below.

1. Prepare your NAS

Ensure that your NAS drive is compatible with the CIFS or SMB protocol – most are but best to check first anyway (refer to the user manual for your NAS box). Locate and make a note of your IP address of your NAS box (this can be found within your NAS settings or by using the Search program that came with the drive). Should be in the form something like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x Create a folder in the root of your NAS drive for where you want the video to be saved to. e.g. /camvideo.The camera only saves to folders one directory deep from the root of the NAS drive (e.g. 192.168.1.3/camvideo) so don’t create a directory like /myfiles/downloads/camera/video. We recommend you now create a new user login in your NAS drive settings. When creating the user, give it access to the directory you have just created, and make sure it has Read and Write access to it. If your NAS drive doesn’t allow you to create new users, or you don’t want to, just remember your admin username and password. If you are unsure about any of the above please refer to your NAS drive's manual or the manufacturer's technical support.

2. Entering the NAS settings into your camera

With the larger Micro SD cards it is practical to use the camera as a continuously recording DVR (DigitalVideo Recorder) with the right settings.

A 2 GB Micro SD card has about 1872 usable megabytes of storage space after formatting. At the very highest settings of video quality with the highest picture size, this is only about 2 hours’worth of storage.

However, if you setup the“secondary stream”in the camera’s“stream setup”menu with 320 x 240 resolution, a frame rate of 10 fps, and bit rate of 120K, this will be reduced to about 12Megabytes per 10 minutes clip or 75 Megabytes per hour, which allows 24 hours of total recording time. Then with 32 GB Micro SD card this can be extended to approximately 16 days. Or you can increase video quality via increasing bit rate, which improves image sharpness and makes motion appear smoother.
