PTZ activation: When an alarm o ccurred, system can activate the PTZ operation. The
PTZ activation lasts an anti-dither period. See Figure 4-85.
Anti-dither: Here you ca n set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The
anti-dither time refers to the alarm sig nal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal
activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. T he
stay time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal
can begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt,
alarm upload, email and etc will not be ac tivated. For example, if you set the anti-dither
time as 10 seco nd, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is
activated.
During the process, if system detects another local alarm signa l at the fifth second, the
buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begi n another 10s w hile the
screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be ac tivated again. After 10s, if system detects
another alarm signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.
Alarm output: The number here is the device alarm output port. You ca n select the
corresponding ports(s) so that system can activate the corresponding alarm device(s)
when an alarm occurred.
Latch: When the anti-dither time ended, the channel alarm you select in the alarm output
may last the specified period. The value ranges from 1 to 300 seconds. This function is
not for other alarm activation operations. The latch is still valid even you disable the
alarm event function directly.
Show message: System can pop up a message to ala rm you in the local host screen if
you enabled this function.
Alarm upload: S ystem can upload the alarm sig nal to the netwo rk (including alarm
Page 63

requirement. Private DDNS function shall work with special DDNS server.
Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction
1) Background Introduction
Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to
access the TX-64 via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the Quick
DDNS works with the device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.
2) Function Introduction
The quick DDNS client has the same function as other D DNS client end. It realizes the
bonding of the domain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our
own devices only. You need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP
regularly. There is no user name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the same
time, each device has a default domain name (Generated by MAC address) for your option.
You can also use customized valid domain name (has not registered.).
3) Operation
Before you use Quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address,
port value and domain name.
Page 70
69
Server address：www.quickddns.com
Port number：80
Domain name：There are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain
name.
Except default domain name registration, you can a lso use customized domain name (You
can input your self-defined domain name.) After successful registration, you can use
domain name to login installed of the device IP.
User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.
Important
Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60
seconds. Too many registration requests may result in server attack.
System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a
notification email before the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.
4.11.1.5 UPnP
The UPNP protocol is to establish a mapping relationship between the LAN and the WAN
interface see Figure 4-95. Input the router IP address in the LAN setting under TCP/IP in
Figure 4-91.
UPNP on/off ：Turn on or off the UPNP function of the device.
Status: When the UPNP is offline, it shows as ―Unknown‖. When the UPNP works it
shows ―Success‖
Router LAN IP: It is the router IP in the LAN.
WAN IP: It is the router IP in the WAN.
Port Mapping list： The port mapping list here is the one to one relationship with the
router’s port mapping setting.
List：
Service name：Defined by user.
Protocol： Protocol type
Internal port：Port that has been mapped in the router.
External port：Port that has been mapped locally.
Default: UPNP default port setting is the HTTP, TCP and UDP of the TX-64.
Add to the list: Click it to add the mapping relationship.
Delete: Click it to remove one mapping item.
Double click one item; you can change the corresponding mappi ng information. See Figure
