IMPORTANT

  • It is recommended to change the password periodically.
  • When displaying multiple H.265 (or H.264) images on a PC, images may not be displayed depending on the performance of the PC.

Note

  • The maximum number of concurrent access user is 14 including users who is receiving H.265 (or H.264) images and users who are receiving JPEG images. Depending on the set values for “Bandwidth control(bit rate)” and “Max bit rate (per client)*”, the maximum concurrent access number may be 14 or less users. When 14 users are concurrently accessing, the access limit message will be displayed for users who subsequently attempt to access. When “Multicast” is selected for “Transmission type” of “Stream”, only the first user who accessed to monitor H.265 (or H.264) images will be included in the maximum number. The second and subsequent users who are monitoring H.265 (or H.264) images will not be included in the maximum number.
  • If you set the "Stream transmission" (→page 106) to "On", an H.265 (or H.264) image will be displayed based on the settings of the "Stream encoding format". If you set the "Stream transmission" (→page 106) to "Off", a JPEG image will be displayed. A JPEG image can be displayed even if the "Stream transmission" is set to "On", but in that case, the transmission interval of the JPEG image will be limited as follows.

1.1.4 Monitor images from multiple cameras

Images from multiple cameras can be displayed on a multi-screen. Images from 4, 9, and up to 16 cameras can be displayed simultaneously. To display images on a multi-screen, it is necessary to register cameras in advance. 4 cameras can be registered as a group and up to 4 groups (16 cameras) can be registered. (→page 148)

IMPORTANT

  • When video is displayed in 4 screens and 9 screens, the video and audio may cut out because the transmission volume of other cameras is large. In such cases, the setting of the registered cameras needs to be changed to reduce the transmission volume.
    Example of setup to reduce the transmission volume:
  • Set the video transmission format to "H.265" or "H.264".
  • Set the "Transmission priority" (→page 107) of the stream to "Best effort".

  • To enable the audio for multi-screen, the audio must be enabled for the camera.

  • When 16 screens are used for the display, only still images (JPEG) can be refreshed.
  • When “2 Monitor” is selected for the image capture mode type and 320 × 320 is selected for the resolution, JPEG(2) images are displayed. When 640 × 640 is selected for the resolution, fisheye images are displayed.
  • When "Image capture mode" is set to "Quad stream" and H.265(1) or H.264(1) is selected, Ch1 images are displayed. If MJPEG or JPEG format (still images) images are selected, fisheye images are displayed.

Note

  • Multi-screen can be used to display JPEG images, and H.265 (or H.264) images. If other cameras support audio, audio is also output.
  • Adjust the volume when multi-screen is displayed.
  • For further information about "Network Camera Recorder with Viewer Software Lite", which is suited to viewing images from several cameras, refer to our website (https://i-pro.com/global/en/surveillance/training_support/support/technical_information ).
  • When you have registered a camera with the authentication function enabled, enter the user name and password of the "Administrator" for the registered camera in the "Authentication dialog". Refer to our support website below for information about the terms and conditions for use of multi-screen. https://i-pro.com/global/en/surveillance/training_support/support/technical_information
  • When Quad PTZ images and still images (JPEG) are refreshed and displayed, click&centering and the zoom are only available on the top left image.

  • From the "Live view" pull-down menu in the "Live" page, select "Multi-screen".

2.1 About the network security

2.1.1 Equipped security functions

The following security functions are featured in this camera.

① Access restrictions by the host authentication and the user authentication
It is possible to restrict users from accessing the camera by setting the host authentication and/or the user authentication to "On". (→page 172, page 175)
② Access restrictions by changing the HTTP port
It is possible to prevent illegal access such as port scanning, etc. by changing the HTTP port number. ( page 185)
③ Access encryption by the HTTPS function
It is possible to enhance the network security by encrypting the access to cameras using the HTTPS function. ( page 204)

IMPORTANT

  • Design and enhance security countermeasures to prevent leakage of information such as image data, authentication information (user name and password), alarm E-mail information, DDNS server information, etc. Perform the countermeasure such as access restriction (using the user authentication) or access encryption (using the HTTPS function).
    • After the camera is accessed by the administrator, make sure to close the browser for added security.
  • Change the administrator password periodically for added security.
  • When using the SNMP function using SNMPv1/v2, do not set a community name that can be easily guessed. (Example: public)
    If a community name that can be easily guessed is used, the status of this camera may be leaked on the network or used as a stepping stone to gain unauthorized access to other devices.

Note

- When user authentication (authentication error) has failed to pass 8 times within 30 seconds using the same IP address (PC), access to the camera will be denied for a while.

Super Dynamic function

When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of detail in darker areas. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out.

Super Dynamic digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

2.9.6 How to configure the settings relating to DDNS

When activating the DDNS function using the camera, either of the following DDNS services is available.

• "Viewnetcam.com" service
• Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)

IMPORTANT

• Before using the DDNS service, it is necessary to perform the port forwarding setting for the router.
- About Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)

Operation using DDNS services other than the "Viewnetcam.com" service is not guaranteed. We are not responsible for any troubles or accidents on the circumstances where the camera is used arising out of such services.

- Refer to the DDNS service providers for the selection and configuration of the DDNS services other than the "Viewnetcam.com" service.

Note

- “Viewnetcam.com” is a Dynamic DNS service designed for use with our Network Cameras. Refer to the “Viewnetcam.com” website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about the service.

About DDNS services (IPv4/IPv6)

By using a DDNS service, it becomes possible to view camera images via the Internet.

The DDNS service associates dynamic global addresses and domain names.

It is possible to configure the settings for the "Viewnetcam.com" or Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant).

In most of the DNS services offered by providers, global addresses are not static but dynamic. Therefore, access to the camera via an old global address may be invalidated after a certain period of time. Either of the following services is required when accessing a camera whose global address is not static via the Internet.

- DDNS service (such as "Viewnetcam.com")

It is possible to access via a registered and static domain name (example: *****.viewnetcam.com) even after the global address is changed. Enrollment in a domain name service is required even when using the IPv6 connection.

Refer to the "Viewnetcam.com" website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about the service.

- Static IP address service (such as a service offered by a contracted provider)

In this service, global addresses are static (not changed).

① Global address is changed.

The contracted provider allocates a global address to the router (or the camera). The global address is not static but dynamic.

② “*****.viewnetcam.com” and the current global address is automatically registered.

If you are enrolled in "Viewnetcam.com", the unique "domain name" (example: *****.viewnetcam.com) will be allocated. The "Viewnetcam.com" service server automatically manages the domain name of camera and the global address of router (or camera) when a camera automatically notifies the service server of the global address.

③ Current global address is automatically registered via “*****viewnetcam.com”.

The "Viewnetcam.com" service server registers the global address and the domain name of router (or camera) in the DNS server.

④ Global address is obtained via the URL (domain name).

By entering the URL (including the domain name) on the browser when accessing the camera via the Internet, the DNS server identifies the registered global address of router (or camera).

⑤ Access using the current global address

The identified global address is used for accessing the router (or camera) to monitor images.

Note

- Refer to the contracted provider whether the current IP address is static or not.

- Depending on the provider, local addresses may be allocated. In this case, the DDNS service is unavailable. Refer to the contract provider for further information.
