Using an Optional Lens

The X100T camera is supplied with a 4.0mm fixed lens for 50° viewing angle. The lens can be manually replaced with an Xvision Megapixel Varifocal or Fixed Lens to achieve a different viewing angle. Any lens change should be made after you have connected the camera and have set up live viewing via your PC so that the focus can be set correctly.

To replace the lens:

1. Carefully turn the lens to unscrew it from the camera body.

2. Screw the new lens onto the camera and set the required focus by turning the lens focus ring.

- If you are replacing the lens with a VARIFOCAL lens, the zoom and focus should be adjusted using the separate zoom and focus rings.

- If you are replacing the lens with a AUTO IRIS lens, ensure the Auto Iris Lens cable is connected to the corresponding connection on the camera’s side.

3. When all adjustments have been made, tighten any lens screws to ensure the zoom and focus are set.

4. If the lens is being replaced by an AUTO IRIS lens it will require calibration before use. Ensure the lens

is calibrated once the camera has been set up and configured on the network.

- See AUTO IRIS on page 61.

5. Click LAN to configure your IP camera with your network settings.

- There are 2 options to set the IP address; Static IP or DHCP IP. Your option depends on how your network is setup. Speak with your System Administrator or see the information box below for more information.

- When entering the IP address manually, select the STATIC IP option and enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, primary DNS and secondary DNS.

- When using DHCP IP, select the DHCP IP option. Your hub, router or switch will assign an IP address automatically.

- To exit without saving any changes, click

- To enter details and continue to the next page, click

ABOUT IP ADDRESS SETTINGS

Static IP (default) Using the Static IP option allows you to assign specific static addresses to each camera or device on a network. A Static IP address does not change over time unless it is changed manually. It is often used in networks to identify a device or location constantly.

- As default, your IP camera will be given a Static IP address: 192.168.0.100

- If another network device has the same IP address then it must be turned off until a new IP address is assigned during configuration.

DHCP IP

Using ‘Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol’ IP means your camera’s IP address may be updated or changed from time to time. Although this reduces the administrative burden of assigning specific static addresses to each device on the network, it means your IP camera may not always connect due to an IP address change if the IP camera is accessed using a previously set IP address.

• Knowing the IP address of your IP camera will allow you to logon to the camera’s online configuration page

• If the IP camera is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP

server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed or ‘Static’ IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function on the router needs to be setup.

2.3 SEARCH AND SETUP USING WINDOWS UPnP

WHAT IS UPnP?

UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and other peripherals. The X100 IP range of cameras and video server are UPnP enabled devices. If your PC Windows XP or Vista operating system is UPnP enabled, the IP Camera will be very easy to locate on the network.

USING UPnP TO SEARCH FOR YOUR IP CAMERA

1. Go to your Desktop > My Network Places.

2. Click the IP Camera. Your default browser will connect to the Camera automatically.

Note: UPnP search and setup is only available on Windows Vista and XP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP. Refer to Appendix B if you are using Windows XP and need to enable the UPnP settings.

X100 Series Main User Manual 43

INSTALL & CONNECT SETUP CONFIGURE RECORDING SOFTWARE

2.4 SETUP BEHIND A NAT ROUTER

WHAT IS NAT?

Network Address Translation involves over-writing the source or destination IP address and usually also the TCP/UDP port numbers of IP packets as they pass through the router.

Once you have installed your IP camera it will be accessible on your Local Area Network (LAN).

To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the camera is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the camera needs to be accessed from the Wide Area Network (WAN), its IP address will need to be setup as Fixed (or Static) IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of the router needs to be setup.

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.

INSTALLING THE IP CAMERA WITH A UPnP ROUTER

1. Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

- To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled in your router. Most

new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default enable and others are not. Please check

user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.

2. Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera

- Refer to Setting > Network > UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.

- Note that this option is enabled as default.

3. Access your Network Camera by DIPS

- Refer to Setting > System > System page for detail DIPS information.

DDNS TAB

What is DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server)?

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP.

A Dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your device over the Internet. One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. This allows you to view your IP camera

using a simple web address like http://mycamera.dyndns.org/, instead of a meaningless, everchanging IP address like http://123.45.67.89

There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet. One such service you can use is

Note: To enable the WLAN function, you must set the related parameters correctly first, then power off the camera and remove the Ethernet cable. When the camera is turned on again the WLAN mode will be available.

www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix D for more information.

- If your camera is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature as most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary.

- However, if your camera is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature because your NAT router should take care of this job.

The following options and fields are available in the DDNS Tab; you will need your registered DDNS details to complete this:

Enable or disable the DDNS service using the toggle buttons.

PPPoE TAB

What is PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)?

PPPoE is a network protocol that allows data communication between two network points. It allows the IP camera to connect to xDSL or cable broadband network directly and automatically assign itself a dynamic IP address. For more details on PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.

The IP camera’s PPPoE information should be setup in a LAN environment to setup before connecting to the xDSL modem. Once setup, power on the camera again and it will dial the ISP and connect to the WAN through the xDSL modem.

The procedures are

• Connect to a LAN by DHCP or Fixed IP

• Access the device, enter Setting > Network > PPPoE as below:

PPPoE: Enable or disable the PPPoE service using the toggle buttons.

User name & Password: Type the user name and password for the PPPoE service which is provided by the ISP.

STREAMING TAB

RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a streaming control protocol used to establish and control multimedia streams. RTSP can be considered a ‘remote control’ for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data.

RTSP Port

Choose the RTSP port. The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start a video stream. Enter the RTSP port number to use. The default value is 554.

RTP Port

Specify the range of transmission port number of video stream. The default range is 50000 to 50999. User can specify a number between 1024 and 65535.

UPnP TAB

What is UPnP?

UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and other peripherals. The X100 IP range of cameras and video server are UPnP enabled devices. If your operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to ‘My Network Places’. If you do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled.

In addition, this device also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT traversal when your device is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be forwarded to the device.
