IP Address
Subnet Mask
Display the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user
cannot change it.
Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the
network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP
address is assigned automatically. If this device cannot get an IP
address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP
address for 192.168.0.20.
If you do not select “Obtain an IP address automatically”, then you
need to enter these network parameters by yourself.
This address is a unique number that identifies a computer or device
on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups
separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200
Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based
on the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic t ake s the form
of packets. IP subnets advance network security and performance to
some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks
contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal"
data. For example, a very common subnet mask in its binary
demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will usually be
shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Address
Physical Address
A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information
between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either

When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain
such as xxxxx.com, the domain name system translates the names
into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the conventions for
naming hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.

DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
The device supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly. You might need this
feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature.
Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather
than an IP address. The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address
is like his phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (com puter, server,
router, and so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easily remember names, which are
organized into the domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic
IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or an FTP server, then the Dynamic Domai n Name
Server is necessary. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.
Your ISP provides you with at least one IP address which is used to connect to the Internet.
The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely
to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depending on your ISP. A dynamic IP
address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP
address is when you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the
dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

The Internet uses DNS servers to look up domain names and translates them into IP
addresses. Domain names are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic
DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your
listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS
services available on the Internet and best of all they’re free to use. One such service you can
use is www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name
of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed
instructions or refer to Appendix E for more information.

Appendix A: Ping IP Address
The ping (or Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP a ddres s
is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a
very useful tool to confirm whether Internet camera is installed or not, or if the IP address
conflicts with any other device over the network.
If you want to make sure the IP address of Internet camera, utilize the ping command as
follows:
z Start a DOS window.
z Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.
If you want to detect any other device conflicting with the IP address of Internet camera, you
also can utilize the ping command but you must disconnect the Internet camera from the
network first.

Appendix B: Bandwidth and Video Size
Estimation
The frame rate of video transmitted from the device depends on connection bandwidth
between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of se rver. Here i s a
guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements from your device.
The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will
produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate. Actual results
generated by the device may be varying

Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 32kbps. Some xDSL/Cable
modem upload speeds could not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you
may not be able to receive good quality video while also streaming audio on
a 128 kbps or lower connection. Even though the upload speed is more
than 128kbps for optimal video performance, disabling audio streaming will
get better video performance.

Appendix D: Configuring Port Forwarding
Manually
The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its
IP address needs to be set up as fixed IP address. Port forwarding or Virtual Server function of
router also needs to be set up. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user
could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if user needs
to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps below:
Manually installing the device with a router on your network is a n easy 3-step procedure shown
below:
1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
2. Access the router with your Web browser
3. Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router
1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP address that allows it to be re cognized by the
router. Manually set up the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.0.100.
2. Access the Router with Your Web browser
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. PLANET
Wireless Router is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial
settings of the router by following the steps outlined in the router’s Quick Installation Guide.
If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP
address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time
depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP address identifies your router on the public
network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP address is,
go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As
shown on the following page the WAN IP address will be listed. This will be the address that
you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to
uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the
IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
Your WAN IP address will be listed here.
3. Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing
The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from
- 42 -
720P IR Bullet PoE IP Camera
ICA-3150
accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over
a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access
over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is
accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Serve r ports used b y
the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your cam era.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:
z Click Enabled.
z Enter a unique name for each entry.
z Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
z Enter your camera’s local IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.100) in the Private IP field.
z If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and
Private Port section, click Add.
A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that
you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass
traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80
to something else, such as 8080. Not all routers are the same, so refer to
your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the
box on this line to enable settings. Then the device can be accessed from WAN by the router’s
WAN IP address.
By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.
