Network Configuration The IP Camera acts as one of the network devices. It allows user to configure the network functionalities based on applications. This section will describe the network configurations. Fundamentally, for instance, the IP assignment of the device can be done via DHCP server, static IP option or PPPoE to obtain IP from the service provider.
Page 24
Use Static IP: Camera may also be manually assigned with a static IP address (IPv4/IPv6). Subnet mask, Gateway and DNS server(s) will also need to be specified for certain network function properly executed. Enable PPPoE Service: This service is usually provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider). IP Camera can establish a dial-up connection to the ISP and then get connected to Internet.
Page 25
Quality Service Quality Service provides network traffic management to guarantee the quality of services in higher priority, especially when network is insufficient. DSCP (Different Service Code Point) is a 6-bit IP header which defines the service level of the packet. According to the DSCP value, routers with PHB (Per-Hop Behavior) will define a specific class of traffic for the packet, in terms of bandwidth, latency, or loss rate, etc.
Page 26
HTTP port / HTTPS port: By default, the HTTP and HTTPs ports are set to 80 and 443 respectively. They can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535.
