3.5 Network Configuration

Use this menu to configure the network to connect the device and the clients.

3.5.1 Network

This section provides the menu of connecting the device through Ethernet cable.

MAC address Display the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user cannot

change it.

Obtain an IP address

automatically (DHCP)

IP Address This address is a unique numbers that identifies a computer or device

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.

on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups

separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200

37

Subnet Mask 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.

Gateway 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

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the

network and provide DNS service.

Primary DNS 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.

Secondary DNS The same function as DNS1. It is option not necessary

HTTP Port 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

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.

38

3.5.2 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.

3.5.3 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

3.5.4 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.

Appendix A: Alarm I/O Connector

Some features of the Camera can be activated by the external sensor that senses physical
changes in the area Camera is monitoring. These changes can include intrusion detection or
certain physical change in the monitored area. For examples, the external sensor can be a door
switch or an infrared motion detector. These devices are customer provided, and are available
from dealers who carry surveillance and security products. Electrically, they must be able to
provide a momentary contact closure.

This Camera provides wires for general I/O terminal and RS-485 interface as below:

Cable for I/O connectors:

Name Cable Color Function

12VDC Brown/White DC 12V (60mA maximum)

GND Blue/White GND

D+ Purple/White RS-485 data +

D- Gray RS-485 data -

DI Green/White Digital signal input

DO Orange/White Digital signal output

User can refer to the schematic below to make a proper connection between I/O connector and
external sensor and output device.

-

72

Explanation of External I/O Circuit Diagram:

CAUTION!

9 The low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are in the

network camera circuit. The qualified electrician should do the wring not by

yourself incorrect wiring could damage network camera. You could receive

the fatal electric shock.

9 The external I/O is not capable of connecting directly to devices that require

large amounts of current. In some cases, a custom interface circuit (customer

provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to network camera may

result if a device is connected to the external I/O that exceeds its electrical

capability.

73

Appendix B: 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.

74

Appendix C: 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 That to use the 3GPP function, it strongly recommends to install the Networked Device

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:

rtsp://host/mpeg4/media.3gp

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.

Appendix D: 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 5 kbps to 64kbps. Most xDSL/Cable

modem upload speeds may not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able

to receive any video while 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 E: DDNS Application

1. Preface

If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own Networked Device or
other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw
etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as
Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is
automatically tracked by a DDNS server.

Host your own Networked Device and much more no matter what your computer's IP address
may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your
computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS service supports all top level domain
names including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.

2. Ethernet Network Environment

Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP
addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually
have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we
have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked
Device on.

(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network

If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service.
Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or
domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.

(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network

If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a
domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup the necessary information
of DDNS and PPPoE of the Networked Device in order to let the outside administrator be able
to access through internet.

3. Application Steps – DDNS & Domain Name

(1). Visit the following web site: http://www.dyndns.org/
(2). Click “Account”

77

(3). After the columns show up at the left side, click “Create Account”.

(4). Fill the application agreement and necessary information.

a. Username

b. E-mail address and confirmation

c. Password and confirmation

d. Submit all the input information and finish creating an account

78

Click these two options

(5). Check your e-mail mailbox. There will be an e-mail with a title “Your DynDNS Account

Information“. Click the hyperlink address to confirm the DDNS service that you just applied.
Then DDNS you applied activated.

Click to confirm

79

(6). Enter the web page http://www.dyndns.org/

you just applied to login administration interface of DDNS server.

(7). If the correct username and password are input, you can see the following picture at the

top-right of the login page.

(8). Click the “Services”.

Input your account

again. Input your username and password that

80

(9). Click the “ Dynamic DNS ”.

(10). Click the “Create Hosts”.

(11). We could create a domain name without any charge at this step. First, we input the host
name. (No.1) Then we pick a domain that is easy to remember. Finally (No.2), click the “Add
Host” to submit the domain name information. (No.3)

4. Setup the DDNS and PPPoE of Network Device

At last, users have to enter the web page of Networked Device and setup the necessary
information of DDNS and PPPoE after the application of DDNS service. Please check the user
manual to access the DDNS and PPPoE pages. After saving the modification, restart the
device. The external users could browse the Networked Device by the input of their domain
name.

81

Appendix F: 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.

82

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.

83

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.

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.
