IP FINDER SOFTWARE\*

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.

If your network supports DHCP and your MEGAPIX camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will automatically find and set your MEGAPIX camera to correspond with your network requirements.

Static

Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must manually enter the correct network settings for your MEGAPIX camera. The settings will correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you (1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3) change the settings to a static IP address.

1. To set your MEGAPIX camera to Static, highlight the desired device from the search results list, and click on Configuration. In the "Network Configuration" window, make sure Static is selected.
2. Enter the following information: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and Preferred DNS.
3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.

CAMERA REBOOT\*

Resetting the Camera

Pressing the reset button on the camera's control board for six (5) seconds will initialize all environmental variables to factory default. Previous setup for IP default, time, etc. will be deleted. If a system's IP address is lost, reset the camera back to factory default.

The following are the default network settings.

IP Mode	DHCP
IP Address	192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0

Client Setup

It is recommended that you setup your camera's client settings the first time you access the camera to prevent any feature malfunction in the future.

The Client Setup provides options to modify the recording path, streaming protocol and buffering time. Streaming protocol and buffering time relate to streaming settings for the web UI on the client PC. These settings are only applied for the browser session, and don't persist after the browser is closed.

Settings apply to a specific PC; they are not universal.

Recording Path

Recording Path is used to define the directory where snapshot images and video will be stored.

Streaming Protocol

RTP/RTSP over HTTP is the default. This is the most flexible setting in that it streams using port 80 which should likely require no client router configuration.

RTP over UDP may use less bandwidth than the other options, but it may also result in inferior video quality since packets may be lost in transmission (more common over WAN) and may require additional router client configuration for UDP traffic.

See section 5 Router/Firewall Configuration for more information on network configuration

The camera can stream using UDP, TCP or HTTP. The client application connecting to a camera can direct which protocol to use. The method of streaming will likely determine the need and extent of any router configuration that may be required.

The port settings all relate to camera ports. If streaming outside of a LAN (e.g. to the internet), then routers on both the camera and client side need to provide necessary access for these ports.
The camera will stream via HTTP by default, which will use the HTTP port as defined in the System – Generic Settings (80 by default). Streaming via HTTP often requires little or no router configuration.
If the client application uses RTP over RTSP/TCP, then the camera will stream using the RTSP Port, 554 by default.
- RTP over UDP will stream using the RTP Video Port, starting at 6002 and can increment.

The camera can stream using UDP, TCP or HTTP. The client application connecting to a camera can direct which protocol to use. The method of streaming will likely determine the need and extent of any router configuration that may be required.

Video and audio server ports only need be changed if a network has security or operational restrictions using these ports. In most cases, the RTP/RTCP video and audio should use the default values.

While the RTP/RTCP audio/video ports by default are 6002-6005, this represents the starting point for client connections. If 1 client is connected, then this connection would use 6002-6005, but a 2nd connection would then use 6006-6009. This may require proper router configuration if using the web UI outside of a LAN.

Day/Night Settings: IR Cut Filter

The Auto Mode (AE) allows adjusting the light sensor's sensitivity to day/night conditions to fine tune the IR cut filter operation when the Auto Mode (Light Sensor) isn't optimal for a specific environment.
In Transfer Threshold are 2 settings: From Day to Night and Back to Day.

From Day to Night has a range (+10 Bright to -10 Dark) which can be used to adjust the sensitivity of switching from day to night. A larger From Day to Night value will result in a switching to Night mode in lighter conditions, a lower value requires darker conditions to switch.

- Back to Day also provides a range (+2-+12) which adjusts the sensitivity of the switch from night to day. This value relates to the From Day to Night; the switch to day mode is based on the From Day to Night + Back to Day values.

NOTE: Auto Mode (AE) doesn't differentiate between IR light and visible light. Subsequently, IR light can cause the IR-Cut filter to switch back to Day mode.
- While in night mode, if an object is close the image will appear bright from the IR light and

Viewing Motion JPEG from the camera in a Browser

• Basic streaming from the camera to a browser can be done using the mjpg.cgi call.
• Microsoft IE does not support this function. IE doesn't support the server-push implementation, so Firefox is recommended for use with mjpg.cgi. Other browsers (e.g. Chrome) may also work.

• First, configure the target video stream profile to use MJPEG encoding type. If multiple video profiles use MJPEG, then the profile parameter should also be included; this is discussed below.

• In the browser enter the mjpg.cgi call. Substitute the camera IP/URL for :

• http:///stream/mjpg.cgi
  The user will be challenged for a username and password; this is required and can't be disabled.
  The username/password can be included with the URL avoiding the username/password pop-up window. Use the following format (substitute root:pass with appropriate username:password):
• http://root:pass@/stream/mjpg.cgi
  If multiple profiles are using MJPEG codec, then the profile=n parameter should be included to specify which video stream profile to use. Substitute the stream profile number (e.g. profile=2 for camera video profile 2) for n:
• http:///stream/mjpg.cgi?profile=n
