External Interface Protocol

Base Protocol and Underlying Layers

• The camera is an IP camera compatible with TCP/IP protocol.
• The camera supports both IPv4 and IPv6, running either in single stack mode or dual stack mode
(supporting both IP versions at the same time).
• TCP is used for two way communication and UDP will be used for broadcasting protocols.
• HTTP is used for the ONVIF protocol as transport mechanism for SOAP calls.

Network Address Configuration

• DHCP is enabled by default on the camera. During the boot process, the camera will attempt to acquire
a network address via DHCP.
• Static IP can be used if the camera cannot be found on the network using DHCP. In this mode, the
static IP address, subnet mask, default router and primary and secondary DNS server can be
configured. This will be used by the camera when turned on. It is possible to assign a static IPv4
address while still allowing the IPv6 addressing to be Link Local (automatically assigned).
• Dynamic DNS or DDNS Dynamic Domain Name System is supported for updating, in real time a
changing IP address on the Internet to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change
location on the network. RFC 2136 Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the
camera talks only to the DHCP server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server.
The camera sends its hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP
server updates the DNS records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where
there is an internal DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their
own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera will transmit its hostname as part of the DHCP
request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable
parameter "camera name" on the web GUI. Any DHCP request will contain the cameras hostname for
use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.
