DHCP	Using DHCP, IP camera will get all the network parameters automatically.
Static IP	Please type in IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS manually.
IPv6 Assignment	IPv6 is a newer numbering system that provides a much larger address pool than IPv4, which accounts for most of today's Internet traffic. You can set up IPv6 manually by keying in Address, Gateway, and DNS, or enabling DHCP to assign the IP automatically.
Port Assignment	User may need to assign a different port to avoid conflict when setting up IP assignment.(1) Web Page Port: setup web page connecting port and video transmitting port (Default: 80)(54) 2) RTSP Port: setup port for RTSP transmitting (Default: 5(CP 3) RTP Start and End Port: in RTSP mode, you may use T and UDP for connecting. TCP connection uses RTSP Port (554). UDP connection uses RTP Start and End Port.
UPnP	This IP camera supports UPnP. If this service is enabled on your computer, the camera will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.”Note: UPnP must be enabled on your computer.
UPnP Port Forwarding	When the camera is installed under a router, enable UPnP Port Forwarding to let the router open ports so that the video streams can be sent out from a LAN. Set Web Port, Http Port, and RTSP port, and make sure your router supports UPnP and the function has been activated.

RTSP Server	sable RTSP server enable or di
RTSP Authentication	"Disable" means everyone who knows your camera IP Address can link to your camera via RTSP. No username and password are required.Under "Basic" and "Digest" authentication mode, the camera asks the user to give username and password before allows accessing. The password is transmitted as clear text under basic mode, which provides a lower level of security than under digest mode.Make sure your media player supports the authentication schemes
RTSP port	RTSP Port: setup port for RTSP transmitting (Default: 554)RTSP Start and End Port: in RTSP mode, you may use TCP and UDP for connecting. TCP connection uses RTSP Port (554). UDP connection uses RTSP Start and End Port.
Multicast Setting (Based on the RTSP Server)	Multicast is a bandwidth conservation technology. This function allows several users to share the same packet sent from IP camera. To use Multicast, appoint IP Address and port here. TTL means the life time of packet, The larger the value is, and the more users can receive the packet.
		To use Multicast, be sure to enable the function "Force Multicast RTP via RTSP" in your media player. Then key in the RTSP path of your camera:"rtsp://(IP address)/" to receive the multicast.
ONVIF	The IP camera supports ONVIF v1.01 / v2.2 standard for to integration.Under ONVIF connection, the video will be transmitted by RTSP. Be sure to enable the RTSP server in IP setting, or you're not able to receive the video via ONVIF.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

SNMP provides a simple framework for administering networked hardware. To manage the IP camera, you have to prepare an MIB browser or similar tools first. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 can be enabled simultaneously.

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2:

SNMP SNMP Setting SNMPv1 SNMPv2c Write Community: write Read Community: public

he term "Community name" in SNMPv1 anT d SNMPv2c came roughly regarded as key. The person who has the community name has the authority to re ad or edit the information of IP camera via SNMP.

Tick the box to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol, and specify the community name for write (read and write) and read (read-only). The user who use read community name to access the IP camera cannot modify any data of this camera.

SNMPv3:

SNMPv3 Write Security Name: write Authentication Type: MD5 SHA Authentication Password: ---------------- Encryption Type: DES AES Encryption Password: ---------------- Read Security Name: public Authentication Type: MD5 SHA Authentication Password: ---------------- Encryption Type: DES AES Encryption Password: ----------------

For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are added when developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security name (the same as "community name" in v1 and v2c, or sometimes we call it "context name") but the password in order to access the IP camera. Please set security name, authentication type, authentication password, encryption type, encryption password of write and read respectively. The password must be 8\~64 bits in length.

Different from SNMPv1 and v2c, the user has to create an account when using SNMPv3. In the account parameters, key- in thesecurity name and password you set in the camera to get access.

SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Trap:

SNMPv1/v2c Trap Trap Address: 192.168.40.159 Trap Community: public Trap Event: Cold Start Setting Changed Network Disconnected V3 Authentication Failed SD Insert/Remove Apply

Trap is a mechanism that allows the managed device to send messages to manager instead of waiting passively for polling from the manager. Specify the trap event. When those events happen, the camera will send the ring message to the Trap Address, which is usually the manager's IP address. Trap Community means the community can receive the trap message.

• Cold Start: The camera starts up or reboots.
- Setting changed: The SNMP setting is changed.
- Network Disconnected: The network connection is broken down. (The camera will send trap messages after the network is connected again.)
- V3 Authentication Failed: A SNMPv3 user account tries to get authentication but failed. (Due to incorrect password or community)
- SD Insert / Remove: A Micro SD card is inserted or removed.

You can deny an IP address or a range of IP address so that they cannot access the IP camera. Tick the "enable" box, key-in the IP address you want to deny, select"deny" and then click"Add" to add it to the list.

You can also choose to deny a range of IP addresses but allow one or several of them. Take the above picture for example, IP address 192.168.50.151\~161 is not allowed to connect to the camera, but only 192.168.50.159 can access.

In the list "allow" condition must be ranked before "deny" condition.

For example, if we exchange the sequence, set "Deny: 192.168.50.151\~192.168.50.161" for the first item and "Allow: 192.168.50.159" for the second item in the list, the IP 92.168.50.159" turns out to be denied by the camera because the "deny" condition has the "1 priority according to our ranking way.

QoS/DSCP (Quality of Server/Differentiated Services Code-point)

QoS/DSCP QoS/DSCP Setting Enable QoS/DSCP Live Stream: 0 (0~63) Event / Alarm: 0 (0~63) Management: 0 (0~63) Apply

DSCP specifies a simple mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and provide QoS on IP networks. DSCP is a 6-bit in the IP header for packet classification purpose.

The number 0\~63 for Live Stream, Event / Alarm, and Management represent the ratio that

the bandwidth is divided. For example, if you set 5, 10, and 20 for the three items, then the bandwidth of the three items is 5:10:20. There is no difference between setting "0, 0, 0" or "63, 63, 63" because under these two settings, the three items will get equal bandwidth (1/3). The three stream control protocols are as follows:

• Live Stream (Video and audio): RTP / RTSP
• Event Alarm: FTP / SMTP / SAMBA / SIP
• Management: HTTPS / HTTP / SNMP

The "Management" stream handles both the live view and the setting area of the web page on which the data is transferred via http/https protocol. If you prefer to distribute more bandwidth when using the web browser to access the camera, please adjust the Management stream.

PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet

A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows Internet camera to connect to Internet with xDSL or cable connection; it can dial up your ISP and get a dynamic IP address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.

It can directly connect to the xDSL; however, it should be set up in a LAN environment to program the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again to enable the device to dial on to the ISP connection to the WAN through the xDSL modem.

The procedures are:

(1) Select "Enabled" to use PPPoE.
(2) Key-in username and password for the ADSL connection.
(3) Send mail after dialing: When connecting to the Internet, it will send a mail to a specific mail account. For the mail setting, please refer to "Mail and FTP" settings.

The device supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly; you might need this feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature. Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather than an IP address. The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address is like this phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, s

router, and so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easily remember names, which are organized. DfL the vithromaien armest As 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. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you with 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, it 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 network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses. Domain names are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. 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. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet and best of all they're free to use. One such service you can use is 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 E for more information.

DynDns.org, the procedures are:

(1) Enable this service
(2) Key-in the host name of DynDNS, user name, and password.
(3) Set up the IP Schedule update.
(4) Click "Apply"
(5) If setting up IP schedule update too frequently, the IP may be blocked. In general, schedule update every day (1440 minutes) is recommended.

Motion Detection	IP camera allows 3-area motion detection. When motion is triggered, it can send the video to some specific mail addresses, transmit the video to remote ftp server and SAMBA, and trigger the relay. To set up the motion area, click
	"Area Setting" and use mouse to drag and draw the area. The same operation is done for areas 2 and 3. If you select "save to SD card", the video or snapshot will be saved to Micro SD card. If you also tick E-mail/ FTP/ Samba of "Log" option, the motion detection log will be sent to E-mail/ FTP/ Samba simultaneously.
Interval	For example, if you select "10 sec" here, once the motion is detected and action is triggered, it cannot be triggered again within 10 seconds.
Based on the schedule	When the option box is ticked, only during the selected schedule time the motion detection is enabled. That is, for example, the 11th hour of Monday has not been colored in the schedule table, then no action will be triggered even the camera detects motion during 11:00~12:00 on Monday.
Tampering Detection	When the camera view is covered, moved, hit by strong light, or out of focus, the tampering detection will be triggered, and send snapshot or video to mail/FTP/Samba/SD card, or trigger the external alarm.
Record File Setting	IP camera allows 3 different types of recording file to change its record size. When motion/alarm is triggered, there are 3 different types of recording modes:(1) AVI File (With Record File Setting )(2) Multi-JPEG (With Record File Setting), only with JPEG compression format.(3) Single JPEG (Single File with Interval Setting)
Record Time Setting	Pre Alarm and Post Alarm setups for video start and end time when motion detects I/O, or other devices got triggered.
	Note	Pre/Post Alarm record time is based on record time setting and IP cam built-in RAM memory. Limited by IP cam built-in RAM memory, when information is too much or video quality is set too high, it will cause recording frame to drop or decrease on post alarm recording time.
Network Disconnected	To avoid video loss, the camera will start to save the video to local SD card when it detects no network connection. The video recording will continuously be saved onto SD card and divided into every 10 minutes a file until the network is reconnected successfully. The oldest file will be deleted if the capacity of SD card is full.

If you want to detect any other device that conflicts with the IP address of Internet camera, you also can utilize the ping command but you must disconnect the Internet camera from the network first.

Appendix C. 3GPP Access

To use the 3GPP function, in addition to the previous section, you might need more formation or configuration to make this function works.

To use the 3GPP function, it is strongly recommended to install the Networked Device with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.

RTSP Port:

Port 554 is the default for RTSP service. However, sometimes, some service providers change this port number for some reasons. If so, user needs to change this port accordingly.

Dialing procedure:

1. Choose a verified player (PacketVideo or Realplayer)
2. Use the following default URL to access:

rtsp://IP-Address/3g

Where host is the host name or IP address of the camera.

Compatible 3G mobile phone:

Please contact your dealer to get the approved list of compatible 3G phones.

Besides IP camera and 3G mobile phone, you will also need to make sure the ISP and company have provided the 3GPP service to you.

Appendix E. Configuring Port Forwarding Manually

The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be set up as a fixed IP address. The port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router also needs to be set up. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if user needs forwarding manually, please follow the steps below:

Manuetlycinkstalingthey devicepithacedouteason you

follows:

1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
2. Access the Router with Your Web browser
3. Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router

1. Ass ign a local/fixed IP address to your device

The device shall be addressed to recognize and fix

the router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.0.100.

2. Access the Router with Your Web browser

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. PLANET wireless AP is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the router by following the steps outlined in the router's Quick Installation Guide.

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP address. 'Dynamic' means that your router's WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router's WAN IP address is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the following page the WAN IP address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.

Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.

3. Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing

The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from

accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera.

Follow these steps to configure your router's Virtual Server settings

• Click Enabled.
• Enter a unique name for each entry.
• Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)
• Enter your camera's local IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private IP field.
• If you are using the deficultaramera port settings, enter 80 into the P Private Port section and click Add.

A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.
