Product Overview

Introduction

D-Link DCS-5615 is a dome camera equipped with industry-leading high definition (Full HD) megapixel resolution and H.264 compression that enables high-quality video to be viewed or recorded. The DCS-5615 connects to a network to provide high-quality live video over the

Internet. The motorized pan/tilt controls and 16x digital zoom allow you to monitor a large area and zoom to view fine detail.

The built-in microSD card slot can be used as a local backup by storing important events on an easily retrievable microSD card.

The included D-Link D-ViewCam™ is sophisticated software which allows users to manage up to 32 network cameras, set e-mail alert notifications, create recording schedules, and use motion detection to record directly to a hard drive. D-ViewCam™ also allows users to upload a floor plan to create a realistic layout of the premises where cameras are located, further simplifying the management process.


Product Overview

Features

Full HD Surveillance

The DCS-5615 delivers Full HD 16:9 widescreen IP video surveillance which provides vivid high-quality video, making it easier to view and monitor video. With the included D-ViewCam 32-channel recording software, the DCS-5615 provides a complete solution for high-quality live viewing and reliable recording. The camera also has a built-in microSD card slot which can be used for local backup by storing important events on an easily retrievable microSD card.

Multiple Video Streams

The DCS-5615 supports simultaneous streaming of H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG video to provide both high-quality and bandwidth-efficient compression formats. H.264 produces a small file size, making it useful for extended recording with high detail or for use in low bandwidth networks. MJPEG delivers excellent file integrity, ideal for situations which require extensive image detail. Additionally, the DCS-5615 supports multicast H.264 streaming, allowing users to view the camera feed by subscribing to a multicast IP address on the network.

Sharp Image Monitoring from Different Angles

With accurate, responsive pan/tilt movement and digital zoom, the DCS-5615 gives you full control, so you can quickly scan a wide area from a variety of angles, and 16x digital zoom lets you zoom in on specific areas for more detail. The DCS-5615 can also be set to automatically move to specific preset positions, allowing the camera to patrol particular areas of interest within a surveillance area.

If you want to use an RTSP player to access the Network Camera, you have to set the video mode to H.264 / MPEG-4 and use the following RTSP URL command to request transmission of the streaming data.

RTSP port / RTP port for video, audio / RTCP port for video, audio

• RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port number is set to 554.

• The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558.

• The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by monitoring the Internet traffic volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP port for audio is set to 5559.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The RTP port must be an even number and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number. When the RTP port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly.

Multicast:Click the items to display the detailed configuration information. Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for stream 1 ~ 3.

Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can effectively save network bandwidth.

Multicast RTP video, audio port/Multicast RTCP video, audio port

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast RTP port must be an even number and the multicast

RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is always odd. When the multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly.

Multicast TTL [1~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells the router the range a packet can be forwarded.

SNMP configuration

This section explains how to use the SNMP on the network camera. The

Simple Network Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices.

It helps network administrators to remotely manage network devices and find, solve network problems with ease.

The SNMP consists of the following three key components:

1. Manager: Network-Management Station (NMS), a server which executes applications that monitor and control managed devices.

2. Agent: A network-management software module on a managed device which transfers the status of managed devices to the NMS.

3. Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and database.

Before configuring SNMP setting on this page, please enable your NMS first.

Enable SNMPv1, SNMPv2c: Select this option and enter the names of Read/

Write community and Read Only community according to your NMS setting.

Enable SNMPv3: This option contains cryptographic security, a higher security level which allows you to set the Authentication password and the

Encryption password.

• Security name: According to your NMS setting, choose Read/Write or

Read Only and enter the community name.

• Authentication type: Select MD5 or SHA as the authentication method.

• Authentication password: Enter the password for authentication (at least

8 characters).

• Encryption password: Enter a password for encryption (at least 8 characters).


Configuration

IEEE 802.1x

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x which is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x setting.

The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled. If authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:

1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (i.e., MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server.

2. Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN.

Open the configuration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-

PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your

ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).

3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.


Configuration

The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:

The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow.

The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus provide higher reliability and stability on the network.

Requirements for QoS:

To utilize QoS in a network environment, the following requirements must be met:

• All network switches and routers in the network must include support for

QoS.

• The network video devices used in the network must be QoS-enabled.

CoS

IEEE802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates prioritization from 0~7 (Eight different classes of service are available). The priority is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing disciplines to forward the packets.

Please follow the steps below to enable CoS settings:

1. Click

Enable CoS.

2. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095).

3. Choose the priority for each application (0~7).

Note:

• The VLAN Switch (802.1p) is required. The web browsing may fail if the

CoS setting is incorrect.

• Class of Service technologies do not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time. They only offer a "best-effort." Users can think of CoS as "coarsely-grained" traffic control and QoS as "finelygrained" traffic control.

• Though CoS is simple to manage, it lacks scalability and does not offer end-to-end guarantees since it is based on L2 protocol.


Configuration

QoS/DSCP

DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code

Point). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB). The PHB describes a particular service level in terms of bandwidth, queuing theory, and dropping

(discarding the packet) decisions. Routers at each network node classify packets according to their DSCP value and give them a particular forwarding treatment. For example, how much bandwidth should be reserved.

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
