4.3 Install the camera behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the camera is accessible on your LAN. To access the camera from the Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. 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 wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be set up as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be set up.

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 camera with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure:

Step1: Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

Step2: Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the camera (default)

Step1: 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. This feature is not enabled by default in all routers. Please check user's manual of your NAT router for detail.

Step2: Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the camera

Refer to Setting → Network → UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option is enabled by default.

6.1.3 HTTPS

HTTPS: Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure

HTTPS is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server. HTTPS connections are often used for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. The main idea of HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, provided that adequate cipher suites are used and that the server certificate is verified and trusted.

If the HTTPS is enabled, there is further option for "HTTP&HTTPS" or "HTTPS only". In case, the "HTTPS only" is enabled, all packets from the camera will go through HTTPS only and HTTP service is no longer available.
Port: Choose the HTTPS port. The default value is 443.

6.1.4 DDNS service

DDNS: Stands for 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 camera 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. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet. 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 G for more information.

If your camera is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. 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. As to xDSL environment, 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.

6.1.5 PPPoE

PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet

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

The camera can directly connect to the xDSL, however, it should be set up on a LAN environment to program the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again, then the camera will dial on to the ISP connect to the WAN through the xDSL modem.

The procedures are

  • Connect to a LAN by DHCP or Fixed IP
  • Access the camera, and enter Setting → Network → PPPoE as below

6.1.6 Streaming

RTSP is a streaming control protocol, and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP, multicast and Unicast, and for negotiating codecs. 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.

6.1.7 UPnP

UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This camera is an UPnP enabled camera. If your operating system is UPnP enabled, the camera 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 camera also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT traversal when your camera 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 camera.

6.1.8 Bonjour

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, cameras, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow cameras to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. Specifically, Bonjour enables automatic IP address assignment without a DHCP server, name to address translation without a DNS server, and service discovery without a directory server. Bonjour is an open protocol which Apple has submitted to the IETF as part of the ongoing standards-creation process.

Name: To assign a name to the selected profile.
Video Type: Video codec of the selected profile.
➢ Resolution: Shows the resolution of the selected profile.
➢ ROI: Assign the selected profile as a ROI stream or not. (Only available for the profiles with max resolution)
Rate Control: Defines the rate control method of this profile. There are four options: Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR), Enhanced Constant Bit Rate (ECBR), and Enhanced Variable Bit Rate (EVBR).

  • For CBR, the video bit rate is between low to high bandwidth based on different resolutions. The user can set the desired bit rate to match the limitation of bandwidth.
  • For VBR, the user should choose the quality level to set the video quality rather than bit rate. The quality level is between 1 and 100. The higher value can reach the better quality but of course will consume higher bandwidth.
  • For ECBR, the video bitrate is based on normal CBR mode. However, the target bitrate can be increased to max target bitrate while lots of motion in video. The max target bitrate will keep a pre-defined time period and then back to normal CBR bitrate.
  • For EVBR, the video bitrate is based on normal VBR mode. However, the bitrate can be limited to the max bitrate while lots of motion in video.

Max Frame Rate: Defines the targeted frame rate of this profile. For example, set the frame rate to 30 fps, then the image will be updated for 30 frames per second as possible. The user needs to set reasonable max frame rate versus video quality under the limited bandwidth.
GOP Control: Defines the Intra/Inter-frame (I/P) ratio of this profile. For example, set the GOP to 30, then the video stream will have one Intra-frame every 30 frames.

Some IP cameras are working but others are failedMaybe too many IP cameras have been installed on the LAN, and then NAT router is out of resource to support more cameras. You could turn off and on NAT router to clear out of date information inside router.
Access this camera
Cannot access the login page and other web pages of the camera from Internet ExplorerMaybe the IP Address of the camera is already being used by another camera or computer. To confirm this possible problem, disconnect the camera from the network first, and then run the PING utility to check it out.May be due to the network cable. Try correcting your network cable and configuration. Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the camera via a crossover cable.Make sure the Internet connection and setting is ok.Make sure enter the IP address of Internet Explorer is correct. If the camera has a dynamic address, it may have changed since you last checked it.Network congestion may prevent the web page appearing quickly. Wait for a while.The IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and camera must be in the same class of the private IP address on the LAN.Make sure the http port used by the camera, default=80, is forward to the camera's private IP address.The port number assigned in your camera might not be available via Internet. Check your ISP for available port.The proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to the camera, set up not to use the proxy server.Confirm that Default Gateway address is correct.The router needs Port Forwarding feature. Refer to your router's manual for details.Packet Filtering of the router may prohibit access from an external network. Refer to your router's manual for details.Access the camera from the Internet with the global IP address of the router and port number of camera.Some routers reject the global IP address to access the camera on the same LAN. Access with the private IP address and correct port number of camera.When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and DNS server address.If it's not working after above procedure, reset camera to default setting and installed it again.If the problem is not solved, the camera might be faulty. Contact your dealer for further help.

Appendix B: 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 the camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other cameras over the network.

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

  • Launch a Command Prompt.
  • Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera. For example, ping 192.168.1.103

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

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

Appendix C: Bandwidth Estimation

The frame rate of video transmitted from the 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 form your 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 vice versa. Actual results generated by the camera may be varying.

Image ResolutionAverage range of data sizes for JPEG modeAverage bit rate for MPEG4 modeAverage bit rate for H.264 mode
160 x 120 (QQVGA)3 ~ 6k byte per frame64kbps~256kbps @ 30fps25kbps~512kbps @ 30fps
320 x 240 (QVGA)8 ~ 20k byte per frameNA128kbps~2048kbps @ 30fps
640 x 480 (VGA)20 ~ 50K byte per frameNA384kbps~4096kbps @ 30fps
1280x720 (720p)100 ~ 200K byte per frameNA1,024kbps~8,000kbps @ 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 E: Configure Port Forwarding Manually

The camera can be used with a router. If the camera 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 camera supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, the user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if the user needs to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as below:

Manually installing the camera with a router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure as following:

(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your camera
(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 camera

The camera must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Manually set up the camera 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 TP-LINK TL-WR841ND 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.

Traffic Statistics Received Sent Bytes: 0 4,527 Packets: 0 60
System Up Time: 0 days 00:06:25 Refresh

Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP address from your ISP or DDNS is a solution alternatively.

(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 camera over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the camera 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. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on Forwarding→Virtual Server.

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

To set up a virtual server entry:

  1. Click the Add New... button, the next screen will pop-up.
  2. Select the service port you want to use from the Common Service Port list. If the Common Service Port list does not have the service that you want to use, type the service port number or service port range (e.g., 80) in the Service Port box.
  3. Type your camera's local IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.198) in the IP Address box.
  4. Select the All protocol.
  5. Select the Enable to enable the virtual server.
  6. Click the Save button.

TP-LINK TL-SC3230N - To set up a virtual server entry: - 1

text_image Add or Modify a Virtual Server Entry Service Port: (XX-XX or XX) Internal Port: (XX, Only valid for single Service Port or leave it blank) IP Address: Protocol: All Status: Enabled Common Service Port: --Select One-- Save Back

Important: 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.

TP-LINK TL-SC3230N - To set up a virtual server entry: - 2

text_image Virtual Servers ID Service Port Internal Port IP Address Protocol Status Modify 1 80 192.168.0.198 ALL Enabled Modify Delete Add New... Enable All Disable All Delete All Previous Next

Then the camera can be accessed from WAN by the router's WAN IP Address.

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

Appendix F: DDNS Application

1. Preface

If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own camera or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server.

Host your own camera and much more no matter what your computer's IP address may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS service supports all top level domain names including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.

2. Ethernet Network Environment

Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked camera on.

(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network

If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service. Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.

(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network

If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally set up the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of the camera in order to let the outside administrator be able to access through internet.
