Click on each menu name to display its setting page Item Action Network Configure Network settings such as DHCP, DDNS, 3GPP, PPPoE and UPnP Camera Adjust camera parameters, position, and set camera tour System Configure system information, date & time, maintenance, and view system log file.
6.1.1 Network This section provides the menu for connecting the camera through Ethernet cable. ¾ MAC address: Displays the Ethernet MAC address of the camera. Note that the user can not modify it. ¾ Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP): DHCP: Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Enable this checkbox when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically.
user can access the camera by either http://xx.xx.xx.xx/, or http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/. If multiple cameras are installed on the LAN and also required to be accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the virtual server port mapping to support multiple cameras. Click OK to save and enable the setting. 6.1.2 Wireless If your camera is a wireless model, you could assign the related parameters into wireless setting. Using a wired connection ensures greater secrecy while making these settings.
Step 2: Key in security key of WEP or WPA. Then click “Submit” button to activate wireless setting. If the user wants to configure wireless settings manually, please follow the steps as below: ¾ MAC address: Displays the Ethernet MAC address of the WLAN card.

6.1.3 HTTPS HTTPS: Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure HTTPS is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server. HTTPS connections are often used for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems. The main idea of HTTPS is to create a secure channel over an insecure network.
WAN IP address is when you want to access your camera over the Internet. One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet. One such service you can use is www.DynDNS.org.
6.1.5 PPPoE PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows your camera with xDSL or cable connects with broadband network directly, then your camera can dial up and get a dynamic IP address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your dealer or ISP.
6.1.6 Streaming RTSP is a streaming control protocol, and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP, multicast and Unicast, and for negotiating codecs. RTSP can be considered a "remote control" for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data. ¾ RTSP Port: Choose the RTSP port. The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start a video stream.

Make the condition around the camera brighter or turn the White-light LED on. Miscellaneous Cannot play the recorded ASF file Have installed Microsoft®’s DirectX 9.0 or later and use the Windows Media Player 11.0 or later to play the AVI filed recorded by the camera.
Appendix B: PING IP Address The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm the camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other cameras over the network. If you want to make sure the IP address of the camera, utilize the PING command as follows: z Launch a Command Prompt. z Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.
Appendix C: Bandwidth Estimation The frame rate of video transmitted from the camera depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements form your camera. The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa.

Appendix E: Configure Port Forwarding Manually The camera can be used with a router. If the camera wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be set up as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be set up. This camera supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, the user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed here. Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP address from your ISP or DDNS is a solution alternatively.
the video from the camera over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the camera are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera.
Appendix F: DDNS Application 1. Preface If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own camera or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server.
