Voice alert configuration is only available for CH1 on the SNT-EX154.

Switching TCP/UDP Transmission Mode

You can select TCP or UDP as the communication port for video/audio data.

This function can be used when Mode (video codec mode) is set to MPEG4 or H.264 and the ActiveX Viewer is used.

Notes

The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode.
If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, or Windows Vista, disable “Windows Firewall.” For details, see “Configuring Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later” on page 9, or “Configuring Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on page 11.

1 Select TCP, UDP (Unicast) or UDP (Multicast) from the Connection drop-down list in the Others panel.

SONY SNTEX154 - Notes - 1

TCP: This is normally selected.

When TCP is selected as the communication port, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communications.

HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual Web page.

In an environment capable of reading Web pages, you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the TCP port.

UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected as the communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, the video/audio playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the system and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video/audio may not play back properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this case, select TCP.

SONY SNTEX154 - Notes - 2

UDP (Multicast): This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming (page 37) is On. When UDP (Multicast) is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the system can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the system and the computer, video/audio may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or UDP (Unicast).

When you use SSL connection for the first time

When you use SSL connection only with the SSL function On, you cannot access the unit if the SSL function does not work properly.

In this case, you must reset the unit to the factory settings. (All settings will be initialized.)

To avoid this, check that SSL connection is possible by performing the following steps.

1 Set the SSL function to On, and select Allow HTTP connection for some clients.
2 Click OK to close the main viewer and the setting window.
3 Display the main viewer via SSL connection. Refer to "Using the SSL function" on page 13 for connection.
4 After checking that SSL connection is possible, cancel Allow HTTP connection for some clients selected in step 1.

Even if the setting window or the browser is closed as SSL connection is impossible, http connection will be possible if Allow HTTP connection for some clients is selected. First check the setting contents of SSL tab in http connection, then check the SSL connection again.

If Allow HTTP connection for some clients is not selected, you will not be able to access the unit if SSL connection becomes impossible. In this case, turn on the power while pressing the reset switch on the unit to initialize. For details, refer to the supplied Installation Manual.

Note

SSL connection places additional burden on the unit; therefore, not all images may be downloaded, and the ✗ mark may appear when the camera accesses the setting window from the browser. In this case, reload the window. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.

Certificate options

Select an installation mode of the certificate.

Use an external certificate: Uses the certificate including private key information issued by a CA. The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are supported.

Note

Even if the SSL function is set to On, it is not active in the following cases:

- When Use an external certificate is selected in "Certificate options," and also when the certificate and the private key password are not set properly.

Use the camera's built-in certificate (For test use):

This mode uses the certificate and private key pair generated by “Generating a self-signed certificate” on page 43. Private key information corresponding to the certificate is stored in the unit. You do not need to install an external certificate. However, you cannot execute the existence proof that is one of the SSL functions for the following reasons.

The private key generated by the unit is self-signed by the camera.
A prepared value is set for a distinguished name (Common name, etc).
– The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA. For reasons of security, we recommend using this mode only when there is no problem even if perfect security is not saved.

Notes

When Use the camera's built-in certificate (For test use) is selected, the Security Alert dialog appears on the SSL connection with a browser.
For details, refer to “Using the SSL function” (page 13).

    A["Supplicant (video network station)"] --> B["Authenticator (hub, router or access point)"]
    B --> C["Authentication server + CA"]

Supplicant

A supplicant is a device that connects to the authentication server to join the network. This unit serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

Authenticator

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or response data that the supplicant or authentication server issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or access point serves as an authenticator.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not. It can also be called RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)

A CA issues and manages certificates of the authentication server (CA certificates) and user certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an authentication server.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant and the server authenticate using the certificate. This mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

See “The simple motion detection function” on page 79.

What are VMF functions-Video Motion Filter

VMF functions are for inspecting whether a moving object detected under the motion detection settings passed, appeared in or disappeared from a specified area or inspection line.

The inspection method is selected from Pass/Presence/Appear/Disappear/Volume, and also allows for a maximum combination of three, which can be simultaneously or sequentially executed. In the VMF setting, up to three patterns can be kept for each preset for the current camera position.

Pass

A reference passage line is determined, and when a moving object passes the setting line, an alarm is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Presence

When the reference object acknowledged by the system is present after a certain period of time has elapsed, an alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Appearance

When an object that did not exist in the reference area appears, an alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Disappearance

When an object acknowledged by the system as a moving object in the reference area disappears, an alarm is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Volume

When the volume of moving objects in the reference area reaches definite number, an alarm is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Notes

Before actual use, perform an operation test and confirm that the motion detection function works correctly.

arp -d 192.168.0.100

Note

If you do not receive a reply, check the following:

– Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after it was turned on?
If not, turn off the camera and restart the operation.
- Is the NETWORK indicator on the camera flashing? If the indicator goes off, the network connection has a problem. Connect the network correctly.
– Did you enter the IP address previously used for another device?
Assign a new IP address to the camera.
- Do the computer and the unit have the same network address?
If not, set the same network address on the computer and the camera.

Using the SNMP

This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network

Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects using software such as SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap, which informs of any illegal access using SNMP.

Using CGI commands, you can set the community name and access limitation, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need authentication by the administrator.

1. Inquiry Commands

You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the following CGI commands.

<Method>
    GET, POST
<Command>
    http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp
    (JavaScript parameter format)
    http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp
    (standard format)

With the above inquiry, you can obtain the following setting information. The following explains the setting information using the inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter) format.

var sysDescr="SNT-EX101", "SNT-EX104", "SNT-EP104", "SNT-EX154", "SNT-EP154", "SNT-RS1U", "SNT-RS3U" ...①

var sysObjectID="1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501" ...②
var sysLocation="...③

var sysContact="...④

var sysName="...⑤

var snmpEnableAuthenTraps="1" ...⑥

var community="public,0.0.0.0,read,1" ...⑦

var community="private,192.168.0.101,read,2" ...⑧

var trap="public,192.168.0.101.1" ...⑨

⑤describes the case of “mib-2.system.sysName.0”. This field is used to describe the administration node of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.
⑥describes the case of “mib-2.snmpEnable AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1” (enable) is set. In this setting, a trap occurs when there is an authentication failure. When “2” (disable) is set, no authentication failure trap occurs.
⑦describes the community attributes. This example shows the identification number “ID=1,” the community name “public,” and enables read from any IP address (0.0.0.0).
⑧describes the community attributes, similar to ⑦. This example shows the identification number ID=2, the community name “private,” and enables reading by SNMP request packet from the host “192.168.0.101”.
⑨describes the attributes to send a trap. This example shows the identification number “ID=1,” the community name “public,” and enables sending of traps to the host having the IP address “192.168.0.101”.
