System > Network Setting > IPv6

Beside IPv4, there is IPv6 for users to set up IP address.

System > Advance > HTTPS

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): Https can help protect streaming data transmission over the internal on the higher security level. You can select the connection type. "Https" means user cannot connect the camera via Http protocol. The Https path will be: "https ://( IP address)/". If you select "Http & Https", both the Http and Https path can be used to access the camera

Remove the existing setting: Before setting new request, please remove old secure identification. Select "Http" connection type and click "Remove".

Created Request: Setting the secure identification and apply it.

There are two ways to set Certificate- Install Signed Certificate or Create Self-Signed Certificate.

System > Advance > SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a simple framework for administering networked hardware. To manage the IP camera, you have to prepare a MIB browser or similar tools first. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 can be enabled simultaneously.

■ SNMPv1 and SNMPv2: The term "Community name" in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c can be roughly regarded as key. The person who has the community name has the authority to read or edit the information of IP camera via SNMP. Check the box to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol, and specify the community name for write (read and write) and read (read-only). The user who uses read community name to access the IP camera cannot modify any data of this camera.

■ SNMPv3: For data security reason, the authentication and encryption assurances are added when developing SNMPv3. The user has to give not only the security name (the same as "community name" in v1&v2c, or sometimes we call it "context name") but the password in order to access the IP camera. Please set security name, authentication type, authentication password, encryption type, encryption password of write and read respectively. The password must be 8\~64 bits in length. Different from in SNMPv1 and v2c, the user have to create a account when using SNMPv3. In the account parameters, key in the security name and password you set in the camera to get accessing.

■ SNMPv1/v2cTrap: Trap is a mechanism that allows the managed device to send messages to manager instead of waiting passively for polling from the manager. Specify the trap event. When those events happen, the camera will send the ring message to the Trap Address, which is usually the manager's IP address. Trap Community means the community that can receive the trap message.

• Cold Start: The camera starts up or reboots.
• Setting Changed: The SNMP setting is changed.
• Network Disconnected: The network connection was broken down. (The camera will send trap messages after the network being connected again)

■ V3 Authentication Failed: A SNMPv3 user account tries to get authentication but failed. (due to incorrect password or community)

■ SD Insert / Remove: A microSD/SDHC card is inserted or removed.

System > Advance > Access list

You can deny an IP address or a range of IP address so that they cannot access the IP camera. Tick the "enable" box, key in the IP address you want to deny, select "deny" then click "Add" to add it to the list. You can also choose to deny a range of IP address but allow one or several IP address of them. Take the picture above for example, IP address 192.168.50.151\~161 is not allowed to connect to the camera, but only 192.168.50.159 can access. Note: In the list "allow" condition must be ranked before "deny" condition. For example, if we exchange the sequence, set "Deny: 192.168.50.151 \~ 192.168.50.161" for the first item and "Allow: 192.168.50.159" for the second item in the list, the IP "192.168.50.159" turns out to be denied by the camera because the "deny" condition has the priority according to our ranking way.

System > Advance > QoS/DSCP

QoS/DSCP (Quality of Server/Differentiated Services Code-point) specifies a simple mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and provides QoS on IP networks. DSCP is a 6-bit in the IP header for packet classification purpose. The number 0\~63 for Live Stream, Event / Alarm, and Management represent the ratio that the bandwidth is divided. For example, if you set 5, 10, and 20 for the three items, then the bandwidth of the three item is 5:10:20. There is no difference between setting "0, 0, 0" or "63, 63, 63" because under these two settings the three items will get equal bandwidth (1/3).

System > Image

Admin and operator levels can adjust the Image setting. They are: OSD, Preference, Advanced.

System > Image> OSD

In OSD tab, you can enable/disable overlaying time stamp.

Check "Enable" box to display date and time stamp on video screen.

System > Image > Preference

In Preference tab, you can tune the IP camera white balance, change the video orientation, and adjust the brightness and contrast.

■ White Balance: Adjust white balance value.
■ Video Orientation: To Flip or Mirror the video on screen.
■ D-WDR: This function is able to reduce the contrast in the view to avoid the dark zones resulting from over and under exposure.
■ BLC mode: Back light compensation. This function is used to make the dark zone resulting from back light lighter and clearer. HSBLC allows the other objects in the view to be free from the effect of strong light. The higher HSBLC level you select, the darker the blanked zone becomes
■ Zoom Bar: Select "On" to show the zoom bar on the live view.
■ Sharpness: Adjust it to get clear video.

System > Image> Advanced

Click Default button will back to factory default setting.

■ Shutter Time: Adjust the shutter time level to get the best image quality.

• Auto: Both the iris and shutter are adjusted by the camera automatically.
• IRIS: You can adjust the aperture open or closed. The smaller the "F" value you select, the larger the aperture opens and the brighter the image becomes. The shutter time is adjusted by the camera automatically.
• Shutter time: You can adjust the shutter time. The shorter the shutter time you select, the darker the image becomes. The iris is adjusted by the camera automatically

■ IRIS Level: The higher the Iris level you select the more light the camera gets and the image becomes brighter. However, it will not affect the true iris opening or closing that you select in auto electronic shutter options.

■ Sense-UP: The main purpose of sense-up is to provide a camera technology that does not rely on artificial light to see in very low light conditions. The shutter stays open longer, allowing more light into the camera and seeing better in low light. When there is a moving object in the image and the faster the object moves, the worse the image appears (blurriness). When you enable sense-up option, users are not allowed to adjust the shutter time manually in "Auto Electronic Shutter" option.

■ Day & Night Mode: The camera can detect the light level of environment. If you select "Auto", the image will be turned to black and white at night in order to keep clear. Under "Times Mode" the switch time of Color / Black and White is according to the given time. You can also control it by choosing "Color" or "B/W".
■ Day & Night Delay: D/N delay is used for preventing the light sensor from disturbs of foreign matter. For example, a passing-by car light directly shoots on the camera at night. If D/N delay is not enabled, the image will be switched to color mode when the car light passes, and switched back to B/W immediately after the car left. That will cause the instability of image quality.
■ 3D DNR Mode: Digital noise reduction. This function is able to filter the noise and blur from the image and show a clearer view. 3D de-noise analyzes successive pictures to detect the noise places. You can select three levels by manual or auto DNR

[Note] When you select a number in "Shutter Time", actually the shutter time varies in a range and controlled by camera automatically.

Troubleshooting

Here are some useful tips on how to solve some common problems.

Problem	Solution
I forgot the account and password for SD1306. How can I go back to default setting?	Please refer to the manual of “Factory Default setting” description.
I recorded video file in H.264 file format but failed to playback on Media Player.	Default Windows Media Player doesn’t have H.264 decoder so that you can’t playback the file successfully. Please install K-Lite program in advance or install KMPlayer or VLC program to playback the video file. You can search those free programs on Internet.
When I use Chinese words as the Gmail title while motion triggered, it turns to be nonsense characters displayed on my Gmail.	It’s the spec limitation and please only use English or numbers as mail title to avoid this phenomenon.
