Clicking the Client Settings in Configuration Area of a Main Page, the following window is shown.

MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network

packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection

when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 55.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.

IEEE 802.1x

Supplicant

(IK-WR12A)

Authenticator

(Network Switch)

Authentication Server

(RADIUS Server)

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, which is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x settings.

The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides

authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certicates between client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails,

access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.

The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

■

Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication.

Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users

from communicating with the authentication server.

Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certicate and decides whether to

accept the end user’s access request.

The Network Camera support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and

■

EAP-TLS.

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1. Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital

certicate from a Certicate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS

server.

2. Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the

conguration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload

related certicate(s).

Page 49

3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an

The authentication process for 802.1x:

●

1. The Certicate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certicates to the Network Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server).

2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.1X via a switch (the

authenticator). The client offers its identity and client certificate, which is then forwarded by the switch to the RADIUS Server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the Network Camera and returns an acceptance or rejection back to the switch.

3. The switch also forwards the RADIUS Server’s certicate to the Network Camera.

4. Assuming all certificates are validated, the switch then changes the Network Camera’s state to authorized and is allowed access to the protected network via a pre-congured port.

QoS (Quality of Service)

NOTE

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity

is insufcient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be dened as, for

instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.

The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:

The ability to prioritize trafc and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data ow.

■

The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher

■

reliability and stability on the network.

Advanced Mode

Requirements for QoS

To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:

All network switches and routers in the network must include support for QoS.

■

The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.

■

QoS models

CoS (the VLAN 802.1p model)

IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates prioritization from 0~7 (Eight different classes of service are available). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing disciplines to forward the packets.

Below is the setting column for CoS. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095) and choose the priority for each application (0~7).

If you assign Video the highest level, the switch will handle video packets rst.

The VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. The web browsing may fail if the CoS setting is incorrect.

●

Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery

●

time; they offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" trafc control and QoS as "nely-grained" trafc control.

Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it

●

is based on L2 protocol.

Page 51

QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model)

DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is

based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a eld to the

IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queueing theory, and dropping (discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment; for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.

Below are the setting options of DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint). Specify the DSCP value for each application (0~63).

Page 52

HTTP

In LAN

http://192.168.4.160 or http://192.168.4.160:8080

Advanced Mode

To utilize HTTP authentication, make sure that your have set a password for the Network Camera rst;

please refer to Security on page 35 for details.

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides two types of security settings for an HTTP transaction: basic and digest. If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format and there can be potential risks of being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm and thus provide better protection against unauthorized accesses.

HTTP port / Secondary HTTP port: By default, the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to 8080. They can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535. If the ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning messages will be displayed:

RTSP Streaming

rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/live3.sdp

To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network Camera rst; please refer to Security on page 35 for details.

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest. If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.

Access name for stream 1 ~ 5: This Network camera supports multiple streams simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.

If you want to use an RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to

MPEG-4 and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data. rtsp://<ip address>:<rtsp port>/<access name for stream1 ~ 5>

For example, when the access name for stream 1 is set to live.sdp:

1. Launch an RTSP player.

2. Choose File > Open URL. A URL dialog box will pop up.

3. Type the above URL command in the text box.

4. The live video will be displayed in your player.

RTSP port /RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio

■ RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port

number is set to 554.

■ The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By

default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558.

■ The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by monitoring the Internet trafc volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP

port for audio is set to 5559.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The RTP port must be an even number and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number. When the RTP port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the RTP ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast settings for stream 1 ~ 5: Click the items to display the detailed configuration information. Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for stream 1 ~ 5.

Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can effectively save Internet bandwith.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast RTP port must be an even number and the multicast RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is always odd. When the multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the multicast RTP video ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast TTL [1~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells the router the range a packet can be forwarded.

selectable

This Network Camera offers two choices of video compression standards (MPEG-4 and JPEG) for realtime viewing. If MPEG-4 mode is selected, the video is streamed via RTSP protocol. There are four parameters provided in MPEG-4 mode which allow you to adjust the video performance:

Page 71

■ Frame size

You can set up different video resolution for different viewing devices. For example, set a smaller frame size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones and a larger video size and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth.

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality. If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.

■ Intra frame period

Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds.

■ Video quality

A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed

for data transmission. Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, and 4Mbps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Acceptable, Satisfactory, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value from 1 (high quality) to 31 (low quality).

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client. There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ Frame size

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality.

If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps. If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value. The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution.

Page 72

■ Video quality

NOTE

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Acceptable, Satisfactory, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value from 10 (high quality) to 200 (low quality).

Video quality and fixed quality refers to the compression rate, so a lower value will produce higher

How does motion detection work?

B D

NOTE

●

There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher sensitivity settings are expected to detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them. When the sensitivity is set

to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).

Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion

detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will

be outlined in red.

For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values.
