MAC address
Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP)
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.
37
Page 39
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
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 numbers 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 takes 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.
A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information
between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log
in to an Internet site or when you're transient email between different
servers.
Obtain DNS from
DHCP
Primary DNS
Secondary DNS The same function as DNS1. It is option not necessary
HTTP Port
Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the
network and provide DNS service.
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.
The device supports two HTTP ports. The first one is default port 80
and this port is fixed. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. The
second HTTP port is changeable. Users could assign the second port
number of http protocol, and the WAN users should follow the port
number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have to
add the port number in back of IP address. For example:
http://192.168.0.20:8080.
Therefore, the user can access the device by either
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/, or
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/ to access the device.
If multiple devices are installed on the LAN and also required to be
38
Page 40
accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the
virtual server port mapping to support multiple devices.
NOTE
When the configuration is finish, please click “OK” to save and enable
the setting.
3.5.2. IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is called the “IP Next Generation” (IPng), which is designed to fix
the shortcomings of IPv4, such as data security and maximum number of user addresses. It is
backward compatible and thus expected to slowly replace IPv4, with the two existing side by side
for many years.
IPv6 To enable or disable the IPv6 function here.
3.5.3. HTTPS
HTTPS: Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
HTTPS is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide
encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server. HTTPS connections
are often used for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. The main idea of
HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable
protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, provided that adequate cipher
suites are used and that the server certificate is verified and trusted.
39
Page 41
To enable or disable the HTTPS service here. Note that the HTTPS
HTTPS
function of this device is not only encrypted the web content but also
audio/video data.
Port Choose the HTTPS port. The default value is 443.
3.5.4 DDNS server
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 (computer, server, router, and
so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easy 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 a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary. For
more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use 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, depends 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 lookup 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.

3.5.5. PPPoE
PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet
A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows Internet Camera
connect to Internet with xDSL or cable connection; it can dial up your ISP and get a dynamic IP
address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.
It can directly connect to the xDSL, however, it should be setup on a LAN environment to program
the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again, then the
device will dial on to the ISP connect to the WAN through the xDSL modem.
The procedures are
• Connect to a LAN by DHCP or Fixed IP
• Access the device, enter Setting Î Network Î PPPoE as below

3.5.6. Streaming
RTSP is a streaming control protocol, and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP,
multicast and Unicast, and for negotiating codecs. RTSP can be considered a "remote control" for
controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP as the
protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data.

for the profiles with max resolution)
Defines the rate control method of this profile. There are four
options: Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR),
Enhanced Constant Bit Rate (ECBR), and Enhanced Variable Bit
Rate (EVBR).
For CBR, the video bit rate is between low to high bandwidth based
on different resolutions. User can set the desired bit rate to match
the limitation of bandwidth.
For VBR, user should choose the quality level to set the video quality
rather than bit rate. The quality level is between 1 and 100. The
higher value can reach the better quality but of course will consume
higher bandwidth.
For ECBR, the video bitrates is based on normal CBR mode.
However, the target bitrates can be increased to max target bitrate
while lots of motion in video. The max target bitrates will keep a
pre-defined time period and then back to normal CBR bitrates.
For EVBR, the video bitrates is based on normal VBR mode.
However, the target bitrates can be increased to max target bitrates
while lots of motion in video. The max target bitrates will keep a
pre-defined time period and then back to normal VBR mode.
Defines the targeted frame rate of this profile. For example, set the
Max Frame Rate
GOP Control
frame rate to 15 fps, then the image will be updated for 15 frames
per second. User can set the desired max frame rate versus video
quality under the limited bandwidth.
Defines the Intra/Inter-frame (I/P) ratio of this profile. For example,
set the GOP to 30, then the video stream will have one Intra-frame
every 30 frames.

Appendix A: PING IP Address
The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP
address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also
a very useful tool to confirm Internet Camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other
devices 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 devices conflicts with the IP address of Internet Camera, also can
utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the Internet Camera from the network first.

Appendix B: 3GPP Access
To use the 3GPP function, in addition to previous section, you might need more information or
configuration to make this function work.
Note
RTSP Port:
Port 554 is the default for RTSP service. However, sometimes, some service providers change
this port number for some reasons. If so, user needs to change this port accordingly.
Dialing procedure:
1. Choose a verified player (PacketVideo or Realplayer currently)
2. Use the following URL to access:
Where host is the host name or IP address of the camera.
Compatible 3G mobile phone:
Please contact your dealer to get the approved list of compatible 3G phone.
That to use the 3GPP function, it strongly recommends to install the Networked Device
with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.

Appendix C: Bandwidth and Video Size
Estimation
The frame rate of video transmitted from the Internet Camera depends on connection bandwidth
between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a
guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements for your Internet Camera.
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 vice versa. Actual results
generated by the Internet Camera may be varying.

NOTE: 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.

Configure 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 setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function
of router needs to be setup. 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 as below:
Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure as
following:
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 recognized by the
router. Manually setup 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. The PLANET
WNRT-620 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.
83
Page 85
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 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 Server ports used by the camera must be
opened through the router for remote access to your camera.
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, for example) 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.
NOTE 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.
84
Page 86
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 access from WAN by the router’s WAN IP
Address.
By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.
