SECURITY

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the Internet Camera the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to access the System Administration for settings and control requirements to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for all users. The Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to the Internet Camera is strictly restricted to define the user who has a "User Name" and "User Password" that is assigned by the Administrator.

Administrator can release a public user name and password so when remote users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the image transmitted by the Internet Camera.

Note:

Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly recommended to set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" when you are the first time to use the Internet Camera. Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator has the access to management the Internet Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security features with the Internet Camera will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.

• Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0

Assign Automatically Using

If your network is using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server, you

can click “Assign Automatically Using” and then click “RARP”, “BOOTP” or “DHCP”. Under this setting the

Internet Camera will automatically assign an IP address from RARP, BOOTP or DHCP server. Every time when the camera starts up, please make sure that the DHCP server is set to assign a static IP address to your camera.

If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the Internet Camera’s RJ-45 LAN port, and you

also have an ISP PPPoE account, click “PPPoE” option and enter

the Service Name, User ID and Password into the respective fields. The Internet Camera will get an IP address from the ISP as starting up.

DNS IP Address:

DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter at least one DNS IP Address.

Dynamic DNS:

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.

LED Control:

The LED control allows user to setup the LED illumination as desired. This feature provides the flexibility when surveillance activity is ON.

There are three options as follows:

z Normal –
