    4) Network Various Network settings can be done from the Network screen. Settings for IP, DNS, Host Name, Ports, and ARP/Ping can be established, along with setting for DDNS, uPnP, QoS, and SNMP.
  • Page 56  Basic • IP Address Configuration: Obtain IP address via DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.
  • Page 57  DDNS • Internet DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) When using the high-speed Internet with the telephone or cable network, users can operate the Network Camera even on the floating IP environment in which IPs are changed at every access. Users should receive an account and password by visiting a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.com/.
  • Page 58  RTP Create a setting for sending and receiving an audio or video on a real-time basis. These settings are the IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live value to use for the media stream(s) in multicast H.264 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast streams. For more information, see the online help.
  • Page 59  UPnP The Network Camera includes support for UPnP™. UPnP is enabled by default, and the Network Camera is then automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. Note: UPnP must be installed on your workstation if running Windows® XP. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs.
  • Page 60  QoS Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are: The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
  • Page 61 • Auto Traffic Control Set a limitation on user network resources by designating the maximum bandwidth. Maximum bandwidth - When sharing other network programs or equipment, it is possible to set a limitation on the maximum bandwidth in the unit of Mbit/s or kbit/s. Auto frame rate - Selected if not influenced by a network-related program or equipment without a limitation on the network bandwidth.
  • Page 62 • NAT traversal Settings Enable - when enabled, the network transmitters attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP. Note that UPnP must be enabled in the Network Camera (see System>Network>UPnP). Automatic setting: The Network Camera automatically searches for NAT routers on your network.
  • Page 63  Zeroconfig Zeroconfig allows the Network Camera to create and assign an IP address for network cameras and connect to a network automatically. Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that automatically creates a usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Zero configuration networking allows devices such as computers and printers to connect to a network automatically.

  • Page 64: Language

     Bonjour The Network Camera includes support for Bonjour™. When enabled, the Network Camera is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.
