Thus, the IP address of the camera must be set from a workstation on the same subnet. A3: Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable.
Q: Noisy images occur. What can I do to fix this? A1: The video images might be noisy if the HNC300/HNC320G is used in a very low light environment. To resolve this issue, place the camera in a location with better lighting. (For the HNC320G only) A2: There might be wireless transmission interference. Make sure there are no other wireless devices on the network that will affect the wireless transmission. Q: The image quality is poor.

I. How to View Your Camera via the Internet The steps outlined below will help you install your camera behind a router: 1. Camera Identification Open the camera’s web page by typing its IP address in your web browser, and click on “Configuration”. If you are not taken directly to the “System” page, click on “System”. If you intend to install multiple cameras, it is recommended that you give each camera a unique “Camera Name” and “Location” in the fields provided. 2.
3. Opening a Second Port You will need to open unique ports for each camera in order to be able to view them remotely over the Internet. The “Second HTTP Port” option in the “Network” page of the camera’s “Configuration” section is used for two reasons: a. if you need to use ports other than the default Port 80 for viewing, and b. when more than one camera is being installed on the network.
For multiple cameras, if you choose to use the default IP address of 192.168.0.20, it is recommended that you assign it to the last camera you install. This will help you avoid any conflicts among the IP addresses. To view the camera over the Internet, you will need to configure your router for Port Mapping. The router’s user manual will include instructions on how to do this. The remainder of Appendix I. will also include basic setup instructions on how to view the camera via the Internet.
address when enabling your camera to be viewed over the Internet. To view your camera remotely via the Internet, it is recommended (but not required) that you assign a static IP address to your router. You will need to contact your ISP to obtain a static IP address. When the camera is attached to the router, the static IP address will allow you to view the camera over the Internet.
iv. v. 6. In the “Port Number” field, enter “Port 80 to Port 80” if you intend to you use the camera’s default port settings (discussed earlier in this Appendix). If you do not intend to use the default settings, or if you will be using multiple cameras, you will need to enter a different port number (i.e., 83, 84, etc.). The “Port Number” field, for example, will then read “Port 83 to Port 83”, etc. In this case, the private Port 83 will now be opened as a public port.
J. Glossary of Terms Numbers 10BASE-T 10BASE-T is (10Mbps) Ethernet over UTP Category III,IV, or V unshielded twisted-pair media. 100BASE-TX The two-pair twisted-media implementation of 100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX (100Mbps Fast Ethernet). 802.11g An IEEE standard for wireless local area networks. It offers transmissions speeds of up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band. A Access point A device that acts as the hardware interface between a wireless LAN and a wired LAN.
D DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed by Microsoft and is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
Group Groups consist of several user machines that have similar characteristics, such as being in the same department. H HEX Short for hexadecimal, “HEX” refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A through F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits.
J JAVA Java is a programming language that is specially designed for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet without the fear of viruses. It is an objectoriented multi-thread programming best for creating applets and applications for the Internet, Intranet and other complex, distributed networks. L LAN Local Area Network. A computer network that spans a relatively small area sharing common resources.
Protocol Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to communicate with each other, and thus they have different functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and presenting data that will be transferred from file server memory to the file server’s network adapter. Others are responsible for filtering information between networks and forwarding data to its destination.
Transceiver A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that uses one medium to a segment that uses a different medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiver connects the network adapter or other network device to the medium. Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach devices with AUI ports.
