[UPnP Settings]
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among
networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the
Universal Plug and Play Forum. It means that they are listed in the network devices table for
the operating system (such as Windows XP) supported by this function. Enabling this function,
you can connect to the GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R directly by
clicking on the camera listed in the network devices table. This function is enabled by default.
[QoS Settings]
The Quality of Service (QoS) is a bandwidth control mechanism that guarantees
delay-sensitive data flows such as voice and video streams, obtain a certain amount of
bandwidth to keep the streaming smooth.
To apply QoS to GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R, all network routers
must support QoS and QoS must be enabled on these devices. To enable the QoS on the
camera, enter a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. This value is a field in an
IP packet that enables different levels of services for the network traffic. When the video
stream from GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R reaches a router, the
DSCP value will tell the router what service level should be applied, e.g. the bandwidth
amount. This value ranges from 0 to 63 in decimal format. The default value is 0 which means
QoS is disabled. Click Apply to finish.
[Network Connection Check Settings]
When the network connection check is enabled, the GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 10R / GV-IP
LPR Camera 5R will check for Internet connection and reboots automatically when it is
disconnected from the Internet. This function is enabled by default.
