Internet connection via a router

Before setting up the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow

the steps below�

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�

IP address : 192.168.0.3 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.

■ HTTP port: default is 80; secondary HTTP port is 8080

■ RTSP port: default is 554

■ RTP port for audio: default is 5558

■ RTCP port for audio: default is 5559

■ RTP port for video: default is 5556

■ RTCP port for video: default is 5557

If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer

to your router’s user’s manual�

3� Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)� Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the Internet� Please refer to Network Type on page 59 for details�

For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:

Device IP Address: internal

port

IP Address: External Port (Mapped port on the

router) Public IP of router 122�146�57�120 LAN IP of router 192�168�2�1 Camera 1 192�168�2�10:80 122�146�57�120:8000 Camera 2 192�168�2�11:80 122�146�57�120:8001 ��

VIVOTEK

Congure the router, virtual server or rewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a precongured port number to a network camera on the private network, and

allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path�

From Forward to 122�146�57�120:8000 192�168�2�10:80 122�146�57�120:8001 192�168�2�11:80 ��

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP

request as follows: http://122�146�57�120:8000

If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),

please refer to Conguration > Network Settings� VIVOTEK also provides the automatic port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support the UPnP port forwarding feature�

Internet connection with static IP

Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera�

Wireless Connection: Using the WPS Button

1� Make sure your AP (Access Point) and Operating System support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected

Setup) functions� WPS enables easy setup with compatible APs�

2. Disconnect your LAN cable, and connect the power cord.

3� Wait for 1 minute for the camera to boot up� Press the WPS button for 1 second� The

front panel LED should blink blue�

4� Press and hold down the WPS button on your AP (some router/AP

will have a virtual button on their management software instead)� Refer to your AP's documentation for details using its WPS functions�

Wireless AP

WPS

WPS Button

When WPS conguration is done, wireless connectivity will be established and the security encryption, such as WEP or WPA-PSK, will be synchronized with the AP. Use the IW2 utility to nd the camera. As for IP setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your conguration on the network camera via the web-based conguration of rmware. The camera's default is DHCP.

NOTE:

1� It is strongly recommended to apply WPA2/AES encryption for access security�

2. WPS may not work if your AP is congured with a "hidden" SSID.

3. If no WPS-enabled AP is detected, and if the camera still can not detect an AP after 2

minutes, the wireless setup will be cancelled. If WPS conguration should fail, wireless conguration will be cleared. You can then re-try the process above or use a wired connection to establish a web console and manually congure the wireless settings.

4. If a camera is assigned with a xed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless setup

will fail�

5. A wired connection always has a higher priority, and hence wireless setup will not take

effect when the RJ45 LAN port is connected� If you want to switch from wired connection

to wireless connection, disconnect the Ethernet cable and reboot the camera.

User's Manual - 19

VIVOTEK

Wireless Connection: Manual Conguration

1. In addition to the use of WPS function, you can also use a wired connection to manually

set up your wireless conguration.

2� Enter the Conguration > Wireless > WLAN page� Key in the same wireless settings

as those on your router/AP (SSID, Encryption type, and Pre-shared key).

3. When done, click the Save button, disconnect the Ethernet cable and then reboot the

camera (by disconnect and then connect the power cord)� The camera should then be

connected over the wireless network. If successfully congured, the camera LED should turn Green after 1 minute. If the camera LED does not turn Green within 2 minutes, check your wireless conguration for errors.

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 or MPEG-4�

H.264 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or 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 68�

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�

Local Streaming Buffer Time

Due to the unsteady bandwidth ow, the live streaming may lag and not be very smoothly. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the cache memory of the PC having a web session with

the camera for a few seconds before being played on the live viewing window� This helps you see the

streaming more smoothly. If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
