5.2.3 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:

(1) Select “Enabled” to use PPPoE.

(2) Key-in Username and password for the ADSL connection.
(3) Send mail after dialed：When connect to the Internet, it will send a mail to a specific mail

.account. For the mail setting, please refer to “Mail and FTP” settings.

5.2.4 DDNS

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 (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

37

IP address is whe
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.

n you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic

DynDns.org, the procedures are:

(1) Enable this service
(2) Key-in the DynDNS server name, user name, and password.
(3) Set up the IP Schedule update refreshing rate.

(4) Click “Apply”

(5) If setting up IP schedule update too frequently, the IP may be blocked. In general, schedule

update every day (1440 minutes) is recommended.

38

Camddn

(1) Please enable this service
(2) Key-in user name.
(3) IP Schedule update is default at 5 minutes

(4) Click “Apply”.

s, the procedures are:

DDNS Status

(1) Updating：Information update
(2) Idle：Stop service
(3) DDNS registration successful, can now log by http://<username>.ddns.camddns.com：

52

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:

 Start a DOS window.

 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.

53

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:

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 default 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.

rtsp://IP-Address/3g

Note:

Besides IP camera and 3G mobile phone. You will also need to make sure the
ISP and company has provided the 3GPP service to you.

54

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.

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 Net work

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”

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.

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.

61

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

 Click Enabled.

 Enter a unique name for each entry.

 Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
 Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private

IP field.

 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.

62

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.

the required bandwidth.

How to check the device’s ActiveX
is installed on your computer

Internet Explorer displays the
following message: “Your current
security settings prohibit
downloading ActiveX controls”.

The device work locally but not
externally.

Go to C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files and check to see if

there is an entry for the file “Web Watch2 Control”. The status

column should show “Installed”. If the file is not listed, make sure
your Security Settings in Internet Explorer are configured properly
and then try reloading the device’s home page. Most likely, the
ActiveX control did not download and install correctly. Check your
Internet Explorer security settings and then close and restart Internet
Explorer. Try to browse and log in again.

Setup the IE security settings or configure the individual settings to
allow downloading and scripting of ActiveX controls.

 Might be caused from the firewall protection. Check the Internet

firewall with your system or network administrator. The firewall
may need to have some settings changed in order for the device
to be accessible outside your LAN.

 Make sure that the device isn’t conflicting with any other web

server running on your LAN.

 Check the configuration of the router settings allow the device to

be accessed outside your local LAN.

 Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet

bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will
not work correctly.

66

The unreadable characters are
displayed.

Frame rate is slower than the
setting.

Blank screen or very slow video

when audio is enabled.

Image Transfer on e-mail or FTP
does not work.

Use the operating system of the selected language. Set the
Encoding or the Character Set of the selected language on the
Internet Explorer.

 The traffic of the network and the object of the image affect the

frame rate. The network congestion causes frame rate slower
than the setting.

 Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet

bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will
not work correctly.

 Ethernet switching hub can smooth the frame rate.

 Your connection to the device does not have enough bandwidth

to support a higher frame rate for the streamed image size. Try
reducing the video streaming size to 160x120 or 320x240 and/or
disabling audio.

 Audio will consume 32 kbps. Disable audio to improve video.

Your Internet connection may not have enough bandwidth to
support streaming audio from the device.

 Default Gateway and DNS server address should be set up

correctly.

 If FTP does not work properly, ask your ISP or network

administrator about the transferring mode of FTP server.

The focus on the Camera is bad.

The color of the image is poor or
strange.

Image flickers.

Video quality of the device

The lens is dirty or dust is attached. Fingerprints, dust, stain, etc. on
the lens can degrade the image quality.

 Adjust White Balance.

 To insure the images you are viewing are the best they can be,

set the Display property setting (color quality) to 16bit at least and
24 bit or higher if possible within your computer.

 The configuration on the device image display is incorrect. You

need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness,
contrast, hue and sharpness properly.

 If the object is dark, the image will flicker. Make the condition
