DHCP Service

Static IP Address

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is inst alled on the network to i ssue IP address assignment. With t his setting, the IP address is assigned automatically.

If you do not select “DHCP Service”, then you need to enter th ese network parameters by yourself.

Please type in IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS manually.

IP address:

This IP address is a uni que numbers that identifies a co mputer or device on the LAN. The se numbers are usually shown in g roups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.20

Subnet Mask:

Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the fo rm of packets. IP subnets advance network se curity and perf ormance to

some level by organizing hosts into logical g roups. Subnet masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the sa me "dotted decimal" data. For e xample, a very comm on subnet ma sk in it s 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 so ftware or hardware that passes information between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Inte rnet site or when you're transient email between different servers.

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.

Enable ARP/Ping

Enable the camera to accept ARP or ping packet s from the network. If disable this option may provide extra security from intentional ping.

54B3.8.2 Network Advanced Settings

NTP Configuration

date/time adjustment.

HTTP Setting

The Internet Camera supports changeable HTTP ports. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. Users could assign the port number of http protocol, and the WAN users should follow th e port n umber to login. If the http port is not assi gned as 80, users have to add the port number in back of IP address. For example:

Therefore, the user can access the Internet Camera by either

Uhttp://xx.xx.xx.xx/U, or

Uhttp://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/ Uto access the Internet Camera.

If multiple devices a re installed on the LAN and al so required to be

accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the

virtual server port mapping to support multiple devices.

RTSP Setting RTSP Port:

The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start a video stream. Enter the RTSP port number to use. (The default value is 554)

HTTPS Setting Enable HTTPS:

The HTTPS service is a combi nation of the HHypertext Transfer ProtocolH with the HSSL/TLSH protocol to provide encryption and secure identification of the camera access.

56B3.8.4 DDNS server

DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server

The Internet Camera supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. Ho wever, if y our device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature. Because DDNS allows the Internet Came ra to use a n easier way to re member naming format rather than a n IP address. The Internet uses DNS se rvers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP a ddresses. Domain names are just easy to remember alia ses for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS se rvice 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 se rvices available on the Intern et and best of all they’re free t o use. One such service you can use i s www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your cho ice to begin using it. Plea se refer to the home page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix E for more information.

2. Insert a pin into the reset hold a s indicated with orange in the below figures. Sense a button

and keep it pressed until instructed to release.

3. Plug in the power jack to turn ICA-HM 830W, in about 20 seconds t he LED indicator will be

flashing.

4. Release the button. (Remove the pin form the reset hold)

5. The ICA-HM830W could now back to factory default. Have an access to the Internet Camera

by changing to the attempt IP address from the default 192.168.0.20.

NOTE:

Restoring the factory default setting will lose the all previous settings included IP address forever. User needs to run the PLANET IPInstaller program to search the unit and configure it to let the Internet Camera work properly again.

4BAppendix B: PING IP Address

The PING (stands for Packet Internet Grop er) command is used to detect whether a spe cific 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.

5BAppendix C:

Bandwidth and Video Size Estimation

The frame rate of video tra nsmitted from the Internet Camera depends on connection bandwidth between client and serve r, video re solution, codec type, and qu ality 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 moti on 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.

7BAppendix E:

Configure Port Forwarding Manually

The Internet Camera can be used with a router. If the Internet Camera 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. Th is device sup ports UPnP traversal fun ction. 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 Internet Camera 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 Internet Camera must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized

by the router. Manually setup the Internet Ca mera with a fixed IP addre ss, for exam ple,

192.168.0.100.

2. Access the Router with Your Web browser

The following steps g enerally apply to any rout er that you have on your net work. 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 DS L service, you will m ost likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP

Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that you r router’s WAN IP addre ss can change from time to time

depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Addre ss identifies your router on the public network

and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your ro uter’s WAN IP Address is, go to t he

Status screen on your ro uter and locate the WAN in formation for your route r. As shown o n 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 rout er and most routers prev ent users from accessing

the video from the device over the Inte rnet. The router connects to the Internet over a serie s 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 Serv er ports used by the came ra 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 def ault 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 acce ss 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.

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

server running on your LAN.

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

be accessed outside your local LAN.

z Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet

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