environment. An incorrect dialing prefix may cause Network Camera to fail when dialing
out. "Redial attempts" means how many times Network Camera should try to connect to
each ISP. Setting the value in "Disconnect after minutes" will force Network Camera to
drop the connection when there is no activity on the connection for the specific period. The
range of this period is from 1 to 240 minutes, with 0 indicating a continuous connection.
Administrators may let Network Camera keep the connection for a while to allow
connections from outside. The IP address given by the ISP can be taken from the
connection log that is mailed or uploaded when dial-up connection is successful. Setting the
value to zero will make Network Camera always keep the connection.
Based on the settings of DI/DO in the application, the system will send mail or upload via
FTP with image attachment upon the event occurring. In that case Network Camera will
need a network connection and automatically dial out to the pre-configured server outside.
When a connection is successfully established, Network Camera will send out a connection
log to notify given network settings. For those installations that may switch the network
interface between Ethernet and PPP, administrators should notice that the settings of FTP
or SMTP servers might be different from what is in an Ethernet environment. If the network
interface is changed, administrators may need to configure them in advance.
Network Camera will try the second ISP as a backup when the first ISP fails and exceeds the
redial attempts. "ISP phone number" should be the complete phone number including
country code and area code if necessary. "Login username" and "Login password" are
used to pass the PPP negotiation requested by the ISP server. Note that the pair of login
name and password is dependent on the ISP and is different from what is used in the
authentication process in web access.
When using modem as the network connection, Network Camera will mute the audio
automatically, and send video only because the low bandwidth environment doesn't meet
the requirement for both. In the Client setting page, protocol option will be set as Http
protocol.
