   8.

4.11 Accessing the network camera for the first time

The network camera is accessed for the first time using the IP Installer.

After the installation wizard is started, it searches for all connected EyseoIP network cameras and video servers in your network.

The program is found on the supplied CD-ROM. Install the program on your PC and then run it.

If a DHCP server is available in your network, the IP address is assigned automatically for both the PC / laptop and the network camera.

If no DHCP server is available, the network camera determines a free IP address from the 192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254 range independently. Your PC system must be located in the same IP segment in order to establish communications with the network camera.

The standard setting for the network camera is "DHCP". If no DHCP server is in operation in your network, then we recommend setting the IP address manually to a fixed value following initial access to the network camera.

4.12 Accessing the network camera over a web browser

When you first access the network camera under Windows, the web browser queries the installation of an ActiveX plug-in for the network camera. This query depends on the Internet security settings of your PC. If the highest security level is set, the PC will refuse any installation and any attempt at running it. This plug-in is used for displaying the video in the browser. To continue, click "Install". If the web browser prevents the installation, open the Internet security settings and reduce the security level or consult your IT or network administrator.

4.13 Installing the ActiveX plug-in

If Mozilla Firefox is used as the browser when accessing the camera, an MJPEG stream is provided by the camera instead of the ActiveX plug-in.

4.14 Adjusting the security settings

Note: Your PC security settings may prevent a video stream. You can change the security settings to a lower level under "Tools / Internet Options / Security". Make sure you enable ActiveX controls and downloads.

4.15 Password prompt

An administrator password is defined in the network camera as standard. However, the administrator should define a new password immediately for security reasons. After the new administrator password is stored, the network camera asks for the user name and password every time it is accessed.

The administrator account is set up in the factory as follows: user name "admin" and password "12345". Each time the network camera is accessed, the browser displays an authentication window and asks for the user name and password. If you can no longer access your personal settings in the administrator account, you can log in again with user name "admin" and password "12345" after resetting the network camera to the factory settings.

To enter a user name and password, proceed as follows:

Open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the camera (e.g. "http://192.168.1.14").

You are then prompted for authentication:

Standard user name: admin

Standard password: 12345

-> You are now connected with the network camera and can see a video stream.

4.16 Accessing the network camera over an RTSP player

You have the possibility of accessing the MPEG-4 / H.264 data streams on the network camera with an RTSP-compatible media player. The following free media players support RTSP:

• VLC Media Player
  Real Player
• Quicktime Media Player

The address format for entering the connection data is as follows:

rtsp://:/

Example:

rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.mjpg (MJPEG stream)

rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.mp4 (MPEG-4 stream)

rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.h264 (H.264 stream)

4.17 Accessing the network camera over a mobile phone

Ensure that you can establish an Internet connection over your mobile phone. Your mobile phone must also be equipped with an RTSP-compatible media player. The following media players for mobile phones support RTSP:

• Real Player
• Core Player

Please note that access to the network camera via mobile phone is restricted due to the reduced network bandwidth available. We therefore recommend making the following video stream settings in order to reduce the data quantity:

Video compression MPEG-4
Resolution	160x120
Frame rate 5 frames / second
Video quality (constant bit rate) 48 kbp$

If your media player does not support RTSP authentication, then deactivate the authentication mode for RTSP in the network camera configuration settings.

The address format for entering the connection data is as follows:

rtsp://:/

Example:

rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/video.3gp

4.18 Accessing the network camera over ABUS VMS

The free 'ABUS VMS Express recording software can be found on the supplied CD-ROM. You then have the possibility of connecting and recording several ABUS Security Center network cameras on one interface. Further information can be found in the software manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.

5. User functions

Open the main menu on the network camera. The interface is divided into the following main areas:

Live image display

You can access the full-screen view by double-clicking here (with Internet Explorer only).

Camera settings

Settings (configuration)

Used to configure the camera (administrator settings)

Live options

Mode: Choose the compression type for transmission of the live image.

View size: Select a view size.

Auto: Automatic adjustment to the screen size

Original size: Display of the video image in accordance with the set camera resolution (e.g. 1920x1080).

Note: The view size specified here relates to the live image shown in the display mode of the browser. The resolution set in the camera is always transmitted, even when the view size set here is smaller.

Protocol: Allows you to select a transmission protocol for data transfer between the client and the server. The following protocol options are available for optimizing the application: UDP, TCP, HTTP.

The UDP protocol gives you a larger number of real-time video streams. However, some data packets can be lost due to the large data volume in the network. Pictures may be unclear in this case. The UDP protocol is recommended if you have no special requirements.

With the TCP protocol, fewer data packets are lost and the video display is more accurate. However, the disadvantage of this protocol is that the video stream is transmitted at a lower frame rate than the UDP protocol.

Use the HTTP protocol if the network is protected by a firewall and only the HTTP port (80) is available.

The selection of the protocol is recommended to be made in the following order: UDP – TCP – HTTP

This function is only available when using Internet Explorer.

Video buffer: Activate the video buffer if your line has low bandwidth. Image data is saved temporarily in the network camera for clearer transmission, meaning the image delay is increased.

This function is only available when using Internet Explorer.

Video control

These functions are only available when using Internet Explorer.

Snapshot

The web browser displays a new window containing the snapshot. To save the snapshot, either left-click it and then click the floppy disk icon or right-click it and select "Save" from the context menu.

Note down your user data and enter this into the configuration of the network camera.

Accessing the network camera over DDNS

If the network camera is located behind a router, then access via DynDNS must be configured in the router. On the ABUS Security-Center homepage www.abus-sc.com, you can find a description of DynDNS router configuration for common router models.

The following diagram offers an overview of accessing a network camera behind a router via DynDNS.org.

Port forwarding of all relevant ports (at least RTSP + HTTP) must be set up in the router in order to use DynDNS access via the router.

Accept the settings by pressing "SAVE" or cancel them by pressing "Cancel". If the network configuration is changed, then the camera must be restarted (System \ Initialize \ Restart).

RTSP

Port range: The standard port range for RTP unicast transmission is 5000–7999. As an alternative, the port range 1024–65534 can be used.

RTSP port: The standard port for RTSP transmission is 554. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the range of 1024–65534. If several IP cameras are located in the same subnetwork, then each camera should have its own unique RTSP port.

Profile name: The access names for the various RTSP streams are configured here. Select the profile to be edited (H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG, or 3GPP).

Profile: Configuration of the access name for the selected profile.

Authentication: Access to the relevant RTSP stream can be protected with a user name and password.

Examples:

Authentication from: rtsp://192.168.0.100:554/video.h264

Authentication to:rtsp://admin:12345@192.168.0.100:554/video.h264

Multicast:

Multicast designates message transmission from one point to a group (also referred to as a multi-point connection). The advantage of multicast is that messages can be transmitted simultaneously to several recipients or a closed user group without the bandwidth of the sender increasing according to the number of recipients. When using multicast, the sender only requires the same bandwidth as a single recipient. The packets are multiplied on each network distributor (switch, router).

In IP networks, multicast enables efficient sending of data to many recipients at the same time. This is accomplished with a special multicast address. In IPv4, the address range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is reserved for this purpose.

Status: Activated/deactivated

Access name: The access name for RTSP access is configured here.

Multicast address: Entry of the multicast server address

Video port: Automatic or manual assignment of the multicast video port.

Audio port: Automatic or manual assignment of the multicast audio port.

TTL (Time-To-Live): Length of time the packet is kept before being discarded.

UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) function makes it easy to control network devices in an IP network. This allows the network camera to be seen in the Windows network environment (e.g. as a network device).

UPnP: Enable or disable the UPnP function.

Enable UPnP Port forwarding: This enables Universal Plug and Play port forwarding for network services. If your router supports UPnP, then port forwarding for video streams is activated automatically on the router for the network camera using this option.

HTTP port: The standard port for HTTP transmission is 80. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the range of 1024–65535. If several IP cameras are located in the same subnetwork, then each camera should have its own unique HTTP port.

SSL port: The standard port for SSL transmission is 443. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the range of 1024–65535. If several IP cameras are located in the same subnetwork, then each camera should have its own unique SSL port.

RTSP port: The standard port for RTSP transmission is 554. As an alternative, this port can be assigned a value in the range of 1024–65535. If several IP cameras are located in the same subnetwork, then each camera should have its own unique RTSP port.
