Chapter 2 Installation

Before you start:

Make sure the device is intact and all the components are complete.

Purpose:

The parking camera can be installed on various types of bearing body. The installation below takes the example of installing the camera on bridge. Make sure the bridge installation is done before installing the parking camera. Refer to the following steps for parking camera installation.

NOTE

The bridge should be thick enough, and the weight capacity of bridge should be 3 times of the total weights of parking cameras at least.

Steps:

1. Punch a hole on the bridge. The diameter of the hole should be a little larger than that of the stud on the bottom of the parking camera (30 mm).

4.2.2 Dynamic IP Connection

Before you start:

Please apply a dynamic IP from an ISP. With the dynamic IP address, you can connect the parking camera to a modem or a router.

- Connecting the parking camera via a router

Steps:

1. Connect the parking camera to the router.

2. In the camera, assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 4.1.2 Detecting and Changing the IP Address for detailed LAN configuration.

3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.

WARNING

STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED—We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (Using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three of the following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly,

especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

1. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000, and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on different routers. Please call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.

NOTE

Refer to Appendix 2 for detailed information about port mapping.

1. Apply a domain name from a domain name provider.
2. Configure the DDNS settings in the setting interface of the router.

6.2 Easy Wi-Fi Connection with WPS function

Purpose:

The setting of the wireless network connection is never easy. To avoid the complex setting of the wireless connection you can enable the WPS function.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy configuration of the encrypted connection between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. There are two modes of the WPS connection, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.

i NOTE

If you enable the WPS function, you do not need to configure the parameters such as the encryption type and you don't need to know the key of the wireless connection.

Steps:

WPS Enable WPS PIN Code 48167581 Generate PBC connection Connect Use router PIN code Connect SSID Router PIN code

Figure 6-10 Wi-Fi Settings - WPS

PBC Mode:

PBC refers to the Push-Button-Configuration, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or virtual one (as the button on the configuration interface of the IE browser), on both the Access Point (and a registrar of the network) and the new wireless client device.

1. Check the checkbox of to enable WPS.
2. Choose the connection mode as PBC.

PBC connection

Connect

i NOTE

Support of this mode is mandatory for both the Access Points and the connecting devices.

1. Check on the Wi-Fi router to see if there is a WPS button. If yes push the button and you can see the indicator near the button start flashing, which means the

WPS function of the router is enabled. For detailed operation, please see the user guide of the router.

1. Push the WPS button to enable the function on the camera.

If there is not a WPS button on the camera, you can also click the virtual button to enable the PBC function on the web interface.

1. Click Connect button.

PBC connection

[Connect]

When the PBC mode is both enabled in the router and the camera, the camera and the wireless network is connected automatically.

PIN Mode:

The PIN mode requires a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be read from either a sticker or the display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be entered to connect the network, usually the Access Point of the network.

Steps:

1. Choose a wireless connection on the list and the SSID is shown.

Stream Type Main Stream(Normal) Video Type Video Stream Resolution 1280*720P Bitrate Type Variable Video Quality Medium Frame Rate 25 Max. Bitrate 2048 Kbps Video Encoding H.264 Profile Main Profile I Frame Interval 50 SVC OFF Smart Encoding Disable

Figure 9-20 Video Settings

1. Select the Stream Type of the camera to main stream (normal) or sub-stream.

The main stream is usually for recording and live viewing with good bandwidth, and the sub-stream can be used for live viewing when the bandwidth is limited.

1. You can customize the following parameters for the selected main stream or sub-stream:

Video Type: The video type can only be set as the Video Stream.

Resolution: Select the resolution of the video output.

Bitrate Type: Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.

Video Quality: When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.

Frame Rate: Set the frame rate to 1/16\~25 fps. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and it is measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.

Max. Bitrate: Set the max. bitrate to 32\~16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the higher video quality, but the higher bandwidth is required.

Video Encoding: Only H.264 is selectable.

The supported video encoding may differ according to the different platform.

Profile: Only Main Profile is selectable.

I Frame Interval: Set the I-Frame interval to 1\~400.

SVC: Scalable Video Coding is an extension of the H.264/AVC standard. Select

OFF/ON to disable/enable the SVC function. Turn on the function, and the device will automatically extract frames from the original video when the

network bandwidth is insufficient.

11.2 Configuring Recording Schedule

Purpose:

There are two kinds of recording for the cameras: manual recording and scheduled recording. In this section, you can follow the instructions to configure the scheduled recording. By default, the record files of scheduled recording are stored in the SD card (if supported) or in the network disk.

Steps:

1. Enter the Record Schedule Settings interface:

Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Storage > Record Schedule

Pre-record 5s Post-record 6s Overwrite Yes Enable Record Schedule Edit Continuous Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

Figure 11-5 Recording Schedule Interface

1. Check the checkbox of Enable Record Schedule to enable scheduled recording.
2. Set the record parameters of the camera.

Pre-record 5s Post-record 5s Overwrite Yes

Figure 11-6 Record Parameters

• Pre-record: The time you set to start recording before the scheduled time on the event. For example, if an alarm triggers recording at 10:00, and the pre-record time is set as 5 seconds, the camera starts to record at 9:59:55.
  The Pre-record time can be configured as No Pre-record, 5 s, 10 s, 15 s, 20 s,

25 s, 30 s or not limited.

- Post-record: The time you set to stop recording after the scheduled time or the event. For example, if an alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and the post-record time is set as 5 seconds, the camera records until 11:00:05.

The post-record time can be configured as 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min or 10 min.

i NOTE

The record parameter configurations vary depending on the camera model.
