Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the Network Camera available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera. Router/Gateway Setup Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the Network Camera.
Network Camera Setup The Network Camera configuration does NOT have be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024). • You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Network Camera. HTTP Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Network Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Network Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port.
Figure 25: DDNS Screen 4. Operation is then automatic: • The Network Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. • Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name allocated by the DDNS service provider. Example: http://normanyu123456789.dyndns.org:6016 normanyu123456789.dyndns.org is domain host name. 6016 is the port number.
Viewing Live Video via the Internet Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended. Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of the camera's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number. Enter the Internet address of the Router/Gateway, and its port number, in the Address (or Location) field of your Browser. Example - IP address: HTTP://203.70.212.
Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by: • Sudden changes in the level of available light • Movement of the camera itself. Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely.
• Enter details of the SMTP Server used to send the E-mail. If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but E-Mail is not enabled, then the only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the system log.
Chapter 5 Web-based Management 5 This Chapter provides Setup details of the Network Camera’s Web-based Interface. This Chapter is for the Camera Administrator only. Introduction The Network Camera can be configured using your Web Browser. The Network Camera must have an IP address which is compatible with your PC.

A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Appendix B Streaming Video/Audio B Solution Overview Streaming video is a sequence of "moving images" that are sent in compressed form over the Internet and displayed by the viewer as they arrive. With streaming, a Web user does not have to wait to download a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound. Instead, the media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives.
