Network Camera Setup - LevelOne FCS-0010 User Manual

Network Camera Setup

The FCS-0010/WCS-0010 Network Camera configuration does NOT have be
changed, unless:
•
You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024).
•
You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the FCS-0010/WCS-0010
Network Camera.
HTTP Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Network Camera uses
HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for
the Network Camera. This port is called the Secondary Port.
The default Secondary Port is 1024. If you prefer to use a different port number, you
can specify the port number on the Network Camera's Network screen, as shown
below.
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network
screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect
and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the
correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address
is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a
connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN
using a domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can
then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Network
Camera.
