The cameras feature a megapixel sensor and support H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG compression formats to deliver excellent picture quality for different applications. Integrated with SIP/VoIP protocol, the cameras provide more aggressive and efficient solution to dealing with event triggers via video phone. It is perfect for remote and discreet monitoring of indoor areas such as homes, small businesses, boutiques, restaurants, hotels, residences, etc.

Day & Night Functionality

The ICA-4130S/4230S brings the clearest vision by featuring 0.5 lux illumination and day/night mode switching. To adapt to constantly changing lighting conditions, the ICA-4230S comes with a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminator which enable the cameras to provide color video when there is sufficient light, and black/white video in dark conditions. The ICA-4230S is able to maintain clear images 24 hours a day.

Exceptional Image quality

Together with powerful image processing attributes like Back Light Compensation (BLC) and 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology, the ICA-4130S/4230S is able to adjust the exposure of the entire image to properly expose the subject in the foreground and remove noises from video signal. Thus, it brings an extremely clear and exquisite picture quality even under any challenging lighting conditions.

Camera Tampering and Audio Detection

Provided with individually configurable motion detection zones, the ICA-4130S/4230S can record video or trigger alarms and alerts when motion is detected in user-specified areas of the camera image. Also, its built-in microphone enables the system to capture the sound that is within the camera's surveillance range. The system will trigger the audio detection alarm when sounds like screams, glass breaking, etc. are detected.

Advanced Event Management

The ICA-4130S/4230S features industry-led SIP/VoIP for audio, alarm, intercom and video streaming for mobile phones and video phones. When the event is triggered, the administrator can receive alarm, video even audio via video phones. Besides, the administrator is able to view status of remote site via video phone aggressively at any time. With this function, the ICA-4130S/42530S provides more instant, efficient response method to deal with events or prevent events from happening when compared with other even actions (FTP, Email, SD Card, etc.).

Flexible Installation and Power Functionality

The ICA-4130S/4230S incorporates IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard and is able to be powered via the network cable from a PoE power sourcing equipment such as PoE Switch and PoE injector.

Parameter

Description

Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)	Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically. If this device cannot get an IP address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP address for 192.168.0.20If you do not select “Obtain an IP address automatically”, then you need to enter these network parameters by yourself.
IP Address	This address is a unique number that identifies a computer or device on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200.
Subnet Mask	Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the network’s configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet maskscontain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Default Router	A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when you're transient email between different servers.
Primary DDNS	When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as xxxx.com, the domain name system translates the names into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the conventions for naming hosts and the way the names are controlled across the Internet.
HTTP Port Web GUI log on port
HTTPS Port	The port of communications protocol for secure communication over a computer network. The default port setting is 443.
RTSP Port Port to connect Network Camera via RTSP protocol
Multicast Group Address	Support multicast
RTP Size	RTP is designed for end-to-end, real time, transfer of stream data. The default RTP size is 8000
ONVIF RTSP Custom	If you want to remote access the camera via ONVIF, you need to enter your public IP here.

FTP Port The default port setting is 21.

3.6.1 SIP

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

This page allows user to configure SIP related parameters.

PLANET cameras can be configured as SIP endpoint to call out when alarm is triggered, or allow permitted number to call in to check the video if the video IP phone is used.

To use this function, the settings on SIP page must be configured properly.

1. Before using the SIP, you need to register an account for the camera from the SIP server;
2. Register another user account for the SIP device from the same SIP server;
3. Call the camera User ID from the SIP device; you will get the video on the SIP device.

Appendix A: PING IP Address

The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It's also a very useful tool to confirm Internet Camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other device over the network.

If you want to make sure the IP address of Internet Camera, utilize the PING command as follows:

• Start a DOS window.
  • Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet Camera.

The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>PING 192.168.0.20 Pinging 192.168.0.20with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.0.20: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64 Reply from 192.168.0.20: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Reply from 192.168.0.20: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Reply from 192.168.0.20: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Ping statistics for 192.168.0.20: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = One, Maximum = 1ms, Average = One D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>

If you want to detect any other device which 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 B: Bandwidth and Video Size Estimation

The frame rate of video transmitted from the Internet Camera depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements for your Internet Camera.

The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate and vice versa. Actual results generated by the Internet Camera may be varying.

Image Resolution	Average range of data sizes for JPEG mode	Average bit rate for MPEG4 mode	Average bit rate for H.264 mode
320 x 240	8 ~ 20k byte per frame	256kbps~768kbps @ 30fps	192kbps~512kbps @ 30fps
640 x 480	20 ~ 50K byte per frame	512kbps~3072kbps @ 30fps	384kbps~1536kbps @ 30fps
1920 x 1080	200 ~ 500k byte per frame	- 1536kbps~	10000kbps @ 30fps
2048 x 1536	300 ~ 750k byte per frame	-	2048kbps~12000kbps @ 30fps

Note

Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 32kbps. Some xDSL/Cable modem upload speeds could not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able to receive good quality video while also streaming audio on a 128 kbps or lower connection. Even though the upload speed is more than 128kbps, for optimal video performance, disabling audio streaming will get better video performance.

Appendix D: 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 fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router 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 to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as shown below:

Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure as 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. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Manually set up 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. The PLANET WNRT-620 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.

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 (192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private IP field.
• If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Add.

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

Note

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.

You can configure the Broadband router as a Virtual Server so that remote users accessing services such as the Web or FTP at your local site via Public IP Addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with Private IP Addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP) port number, the Broadband router redirects the external service request to the appropriate internal server (located at one of your LAN's Private IP Address).

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box on this line to enable settings. Then the device can be accessed from WAN by the router's WAN IP Address.

By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.
