Multicast
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is an internet protocol that allows
programs to manage the real-time transmission of multimedia data,
via unicast or multicast.
Profile
> RTP unicast: When enabled the transmission of the data to
the specified equipment happens on a network specifying a
single address.
> RTP multicast: When enabled it reduces the transmission
load on the camera by making the computer of the same
segment network receive the same transmission data. When
multicast option is checked then select Video Port number,
Audio Port number and Data port number.
-IPv4 address: Set the IP address for RTP multicast.
-Base RTP port: Enter the port number of even number
used for the multicast streaming. Each profile uses
successive 6 port number which starts from [Base RTP
port]. It is initially set to 10000 and you can edit this
between 10000 and 65530.
28 Operation and settings
Note:
Each profile using multicast needs its own multicast IP address and
port numbers to avoid address conflict. When more than 2 profiles
use same multicast IP address, each [Base RTP port] number should
be distinguished from the other port number more than 6 at least.
Multicast
> Always Multicast: Check to enable multicast regardless of
client connection.
TTL
> TTL: This option indicates the Time-To-Live of multicast
packets. The default setting is 7, and the allowed TTL range
is from 1 to 255.

Troubleshooting
This section provides useful information to help you to resolve any difficulty you might have with your Speco IP device. Fault symptoms,
possible causes and remedial actions are provided here.
IP Setting problems
• ARP/Ping: Disconnect and reconnect the power to the network camera. The device should get the IP within 2 minutes.
• Ping your camera: Open the command prompt on your computer, type ping with the IP address of the network device. The reply
obtained by this command provides explanation for the cause of the problem.
1. bytes = 32 time = 2 ms indicates that the IP address is already used and cannot reuse the same. A new IP address needs to be
obtained.
2. Destination host unreachable: indicates that the network device and your computer do not fall in the same subnet hence needs to
get a new IP address. Contact the system administrator for the required help.
3. Request timed out: Indicates that the IP is free as it is not used by anyone and the network device can obtain this.
• IP Conflicts: If the device is set with a static IP address and if the DHCP option is set then there may be IP’s same as the network device
and other network partner. Hence set the static IP address to 0.0.0.0 to resolve this conflict.
Cannot access the camera from browser:
• Reconnect the network camera with power and check the ping operation to know if the IP is used by others.
• Disable the proxy setting in the Browser if you are using a proxy server.
• Check for proper cabling and network connections, try to ping after verifying the connectivity.
• Sometimes when HTTPS is enabled, we would be checking the URL with http, in this case manually change the URL to the http/https
accordingly.
• Verify the DNS and Gateway settings if the IP address is assigned statically to the network device.
• If the browser you’re using or a page you’re viewing is displaying problems, try to clear the browser’s cache. If that doesn’t fix the
problem, try to clear the browser’s cookies.
42 Reference
Accessing camera external to the local network
• Firewall Protection: Check for the internet firewall with the system administrator, either he has to do port forwarding or modify the DMZ
function on the router.
• Default router needed: Check if you need configure the router settings.
Sporadic network performance
• Network Switches or hubs used may be of the lower configuration and the load on this may not meet the required conditions of our
network camera.
• Check for the RJ-45 cables that are used for the network connectivity.
• If PoE is used check if the power is got by the network camera when connected to it.
Login Password lost
• Reset the camera by shorting IP reset and GND terminal on multi-harness for more than 3 seconds to restore default settings.
• After the factory settings login using the default user name and password.
Video Streaming problems
• If the video streaming does not start on the Web browser, install the ActiveX client on your computer following the instructions on the
Web browser.
• When Windows IE browsers are used always take care to allow pop ups, check this option before we run the web client.
• Check the quality of image by referring the video settings as described in the manual.
• Sometimes there would be intermittent or very slow video streaming, this may be because of the higher resolution and frame rate that
are set for the video.
• The video streaming may appear poor at times, this may be because of the network traffic ,too many devices connected to the switch or
hub, enabling motion detection to each of the video streams and because of other programs running on your computer.
• If the images appear to be blurred adjust the focus of the network camera to get a clear image.
• Video images if appear white and black adjust the settings in the OSD to get back the colorful image.
• Select the Night mode if the network camera is connected at a place where surrounding light is less or dark.
Reference 43
• If we obtain lower frame rate than set we need to check from the system administrator for sufficient bandwidth available or reduce the
number of applications running on the client computer.
• If the client PC’s are unable to access the multicast stream, check with the system administrator for the use of a valid multicast address or
check if the router is supporting multicasting.
• If the images appear to have white of gray stripes on it, upgrade the Video graphics driver on the client PC to the latest version.
• Video images may be noisy if you are using the camera in a very low light environment or the bit rate/quality is set to very low values.
Provide higher values for quality and support the surrounding environment with enough light.
Audio condition
The client computer that is interacting with the camera needs to have a sound card that is functional to support speaker and microphone.
The sound card needs to be checked for its support for full duplex communication.
Ensure that the mute button of the client computer is not set and all the audio settings are correct.
Speaker button on the web viewer should be enabled to listen the audio from the network camera.
Ensure that the bidirectional audio button is enabled on the Web viewer and the microphone is set.
Change the input and the output gain for microphone and the speaker respectively to set correct audio level.
Clear browser’s Cache
• If your browser is not working correctly after upgrade firmware. Please follow the below solution.
• Solution: Deleting your browser’s cache may be resolved this issue.
1. Open Internet Options in browser Tools menu and click the [Delete Files] button in the second entry (Internet temporary files).
2. Check the other settings that should not be changed.
RCA output problem
• RCA output use to initial installation.
• Depending on the IP Camera usage scenario, RCA output video may not be smooth. It is used for initial installation only.
44 Reference
BNC output usage
BNC connector is for convenience of camera installation, and it is not suited to surveillance.
Power connection
• It is required to use a power source of either AC 24 V or PoE+.
• PoE connection must use PoE+.
(PoE+(IEEE 802. at-2009) : PoE+ provides up to 25.5 W of Power.
For all further support please contact Speco Technologies technical support.
