The camera is designed to capture human activities in a near-hemispheric field of view, at a place such as a cashier or bank counter. Due to the optical characteristics of wide-angle lens, image quality decreases as distance from an object increases. It is therefore recommended to install the camera within 3 meters or closer to the objects of your interest. The focus center should also be aligned with objects of importance, say, human faces.

1. Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below.
Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 14 for details.
WAN (Wide Area Network )
Router IP address : from ISP
Internet
LAN (Local Area Network)
Router IP address : 192.168.0.1
Cable or DSL Modem
IP address : 192.168.0.3 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1
IP address : 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Default router : 192.168.0.1
2.In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is 192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.

Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings.
H.264 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.264 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with H.264 streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic 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 63.
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 using the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users behind a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow camera’s streaming data to pass through.

The format is: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
Local Streaming Buffer Time
Due to possible occurrences of unsteady network transmission, live streaming may lag and not be very smoothly. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the camera’s buffer for a few seconds before being played on the client computer’s live view window. This helps produce a smoothlier live streaming. If you enter a vlue of 3,000 milliseconds, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
