- Page 65 Network Advanced - RTSP General RTP Port Range: The default value of port range is 5000 ~ 7999 and can be changed from 1124 to 65534. RTSP Port: RTSP stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol. RTSP is supported by most media clients, such as Real Player, VLC and QuickTime.
- Page 66 Multicast: Here the initial stream is sent to the router only, which creates optimal distribution paths for datagrams sent to a multicast destination address. Whether one or 300 PCs are connected to the video stream does not matter. The bandwidth and load of the local camera is unaffected.
- Page 67 Network Advanced - UPNP UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. A UPnP-enabled device, such as your network camera, announces its presence in the local network to other computers that support UPnP as well. The operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7/8 support UPnP. When the network camera is connected to the network, Windows will alert the computer user of the presence of the new device (a new icon will be added to your My Network Places folder) and lets the user connect to the device instantaneously.
- Page 68 Network Advanced - Bonjour UPnP Bonjour is a service that, just like UPnP, helps to find the network camera on the network. Bonjour is available for Windows, but is more commonly used for MacOS. Refer to section “4.1.2 MacOS” for additional information on the usage.
- Page 69 If the router in your home network is equipped with a DDNS client, we recommend using the router instead of the camera. Most SOHO routers are equipped with a DDNS client and since the router is in direct control of handling the Internet connection, it’s the device best suited for the DDNS task.
- Page 70 Digital I/O If your Intellinet network camera is equipped with a digital I/O interface, you can configure the connections on this page. The screen shows the current status of input 1 & 2 and output 1 & 2. The screen also allows you to define the “normal”...

Page 71: System Log
System Log The Network Camera features a log function for system messages. These are system messages about the camera start-up procedure, e-mail deliveries, FTP uploads, motion detection and more. The camera stores the messages in its internal memory and displays them on the system log screen. Since memory is limited, the messages will eventually be truncated. - Page 72 The remote log function uses the Syslog Protocol, which is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. Syslog is a client/server protocol. The Syslog sender (the Network Camera) sends a small (less than 1KB) textual message to the Syslog server. This user manual shows one example of a Syslog server, the 3CDaemon utility by 3Com Corporation (Download Location: http://support.3com.com/software/utilities_for_windows_32_bit.htm).
