SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
SNMP provides a simple framework for administering networked hardware. To manage
the IP camera, you have to prepare an MIB browser or similar tools first. SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 can be enabled simultaneously.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2:
The term "Community name" in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c can be roughly regarded as key.
The person who has the community name has the authority to read or edit the information of
IP camera via SNMP.
Tick the box to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol, and specify the community name for
write (read and write) and read (read-only). The user who use read community name to
access the IP camera cannot modify any data of this camera.
SNMPv3:
40
Full HD Outdoor IR POE IP Camera
ICA-3250V
For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are added
when developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security name (the same as
"community name" in v1 and v2c, or sometimes we call it "context name") but the password
in order to access the IP camera. Please set security name, authentication type,
authentication password, encryption type, encryption password of write and read
respectively. The password must be 8~64 bits in length.
Different from SNMPv1 and v2c, the user has to create an account when using SNMPv3.
In the account parameters, key-in the

security name and password you set in the camera to
SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Trap:
Trap is a mechanism that allows the managed device to send messages to manager
instead of waiting passively for polling from the manager. Specify the trap event. When
those events happen, the camera will send the ring message to the Trap Address, which is
usually the manager's IP address. Trap Community means the community can receive the trap
message.
• Cold Start: The camera starts up or reboots.
• Setting changed: The SNMP setting is changed.
• Network Disconnected: The network connection is broken down. (The camera will send
trap messages after the network is connected again.)
• V3 Authentication Failed: A SNMPv3 user account tries to get authentication but failed.
(Due to incorrect password or community)
• SD Insert / Remove: A Micro SD card is inserted or removed.

Access List
Full HD Outdoor IR POE IP Camera
ICA-3250V
You can deny an IP address or a range of IP address so that they cannot access the IP
camera. Tick the "enable" box, key-in the IP address you want to deny, select” deny" and
then click” Add" to add it to the list.
You can also choose to deny a range of IP addresses but allow one or several of them. Take
the the above picture for example, IP address 192.168.50.151~161 is not allowed to
connect to the camera, but only 192.168.50.159 can access.
In the list "allow" condition must be ranked before "deny" condition.
For example, if we exchange the sequence, set "Deny: 192.168.50.151~192.168.50.161" for
the first item and "Allow: 192.168.50.159" for the second item in the list, the IP
"192.168.50.159" turns out to be denied by the camera because the "deny" condition has the
priority according to our ranking way.
QoS/DSCP (Quality of Server/Differentiated Services Code-point)
DSCP specifies a simple mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and
provide QoS on IP networks. DSCP is a 6-bit in the IP header for packet classification
purpose.
The number 0~63 for Live Stream, Event / Alarm, and Management represent the ratio that
42
Full HD Outdoor IR POE IP Camera
ICA-3250V
the bandwidth is divided. For example, if you set 5, 10, and 20 for the three items, then the
bandwidth of the three items is 5:10:20. There is no difference between setting "0, 0, 0" or
"63, 63, 63" because under these two settings, the three items will get equal bandwidth (1/3).
The three stream control protocols are as follows:
• Live Stream (Video and audio): RTP / RTSP
• Event Alarm: FTP / SMTP / SAMBA / SIP
• Management: HTTPS / HTTP / SNMP
The "Management" stream handles both the live view and the setting area of the
web page on which the data is transferred via http/https protocol. If you prefer to
distribute more bandwidth when using the web browser to access the camera,
please adjust the Management stream.
IEEE 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control. It provides an
authentication mechanism to device wishing to attach to a LAN or WLAN.
The EAPOL protocol supports service identification and optional point to point encryption over
the local LAN segment.
Please check what version of the authenticator and authentication server support. This
camera supports EAP-TLS method. Please enter ID and password issued by the CA and then
upload related certificates.

3.6.3 PPPoE & DDNS
ICA-3250V
PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet
A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows Internet camera to
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 set up in a LAN environment to
program the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again to
enable the device to dial on to the ISP connection 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 dialing:When connecting to the Internet, it will send a mail to a specific
mail account. For the mail setting, please refer to “Mail and FTP” settings.
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,
44
Full HD Outdoor IR POE IP Camera
ICA-3250V
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 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 with 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, it 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.
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.
(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.
DDNS Status

Set up the server address and account information of your FTP. Click “Apply” to save the
setting, then use “Test” button to test the server connection. A message box will tell you “OK!”
if it works, and a test file will be uploaded to FTP space.
In PORT mode, the FTP server builds the connection to the user’s data port actively. However,
from the user-side firewall’s standpoint, the action of connecting from FTP server is often
considered to be dangerous and should be blocked. In PASV mode, the problem is solved:
The FTP server waits for the data transmission connection built by the user. Make sure that
the server supports the mode you select.
Samba Setting:
Select this option to send the media files via a network neighborhood when an event is
triggered. Click “Apply” to save the setting, then use “Test” button to test the server connection.
A message box will tell you “OK!” if it works, and a test document will be created in the
location.

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 whether or not Internet camera is installed 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 that conflicts 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 C. 3GPP Access
To use the 3GPP function, in addition to the previous section, you might need more
information or configuration to make this function works.
To use the 3GPP function, it is strongly recommended to install the Networked
Device with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.
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)
2. Use the following default URL to access:
rtsp://IP-Address/3g
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 phones.
Besides IP camera and 3G mobile phone, you will also need to make sure
the ISP and company have provided the 3GPP service to you.

Appendix E. 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 a fixed IP address. The 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 an easy 3–step procedure as
follows:
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. 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.
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
65
Full HD Outdoor IR POE IP Camera
ICA-3250V
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 and 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.
