IP Address
Subnet Mask
This address is a unique numbers that identifies a computer or device on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200
Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will usually be
34
Gateway shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when you're transient email between different servers.
Primary DNS
When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as xxxxx.com, the domain name system translates the names into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the conventions for naming hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.
Secondary DNS
The same function as DNS1. It is option not necessary
Note: need to reboot the device to take this setting effect.
HTTP Port The device supports two HTTP ports. The first one is default port 80 and this port is fixed. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. The second HTTP port is changeable. Users could assign the second port number of http protocol, and the WAN users should follow the port number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have to add the port number in back of IP address. For example: http://192.168.0.20:80 .
If multiple devices are installed on the LAN and also required to be accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the virtual server port mapping to support multiple devices.
When the configuration is finish, please click “OK” to save and enable the setting.
3.5.2 DDNS server
DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
The device supports DDNS. If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature.
Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather than an
IP address. The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address is like his phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, server, router, and so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easy remember names, which are organized into the domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your current WAN
IP address is when you want to access your network over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic
IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
35
The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses.
Domain names are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet and best of all they’re free to use. One such service you can use is www.DynDNS.org.
You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it.
Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix D for more information.

3.5.3 PPPoE
PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet
A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows ICA-120 connect to
Internet with xDSL or cable connection; it can dial up your ISP and get a dynamic IP address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your ISP.
It can directly connect to the xDSL, however, it should be setup on a LAN environment to program the PPPoE information first, and then connect to the xDSL modem. Power on again, then the device will dial on to the ISP connect to the WAN through the xDSL modem.
The procedures are
• Connect to a LAN by DHCP or Fixed IP
• Access the device, enter Setting

3.5.4 Streaming
RTSP is a streaming control protocol, and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP, multicast and Unicast, and for negotiating codecs. RTSP can be considered a "remote control" for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server. RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio/video data.
RTSP Port
Choose the RTSP port. The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start a video stream. Enter the RTSP port number to use. The default value is 554.
RTP Port Specify the range of transmission port number of video stream. The default range is 50000 to 50999. User can specify a number between 1024 and
65535.
To use the 3GPP function, in addition to previous section, you might need more information or configuration to make this function work.
NOTE: 1. The camera must be set as Multi-profile mode, not Mega-pixel mode. Otherwise this device cannot serve 3GPP stream.
2. To use the 3GPP function, it strongly recommends installing the Networked
Device with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.
RTSP Port Port 554 is the default for RTSP service. However, sometimes, some service providers change this port number for some reasons. If so, user needs to change this port accordingly.
Dialing procedure
1. Choose a verified player (PacketVideo or Realplayer currently)
2. Use the following URL to access: rtsp://host/mpeg4/media.3gp

3.5.5 UPnP
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP enabled Network Camera. If your operating system is UPnP enabled, the device will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to “My Network Places.” If you do not want to use the
UPnP functionality, it can be disabled
In addition, this device also provides UPnP IGD function for NAT traversal easily. Use NAT traversal when your device is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be forwarded to the device.

66
Appendix B: PING IP Address
The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm camera installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network.
If you want to make sure the IP address of camera, utilize the PING command as follows: z Start a DOS window. z Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.
If you want to detect any other devices conflicts with the IP address of camera, also can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the camera from the network first.
67
Appendix C: Bandwidth and Video Size
Estimation
The frame rate of video transmitted from the camera depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements for your camera.
The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa.
Actual results generated by the camera may be varying.
Image Resolution Average range of Data Sizes for JPEG mode
Average bit rate for MPEG4 mode
160 x 120 (QQVGA)
320 x 240 (QVGA)
640 x 480 (VGA)
3 ~ 6k byte per frame
8 ~ 20k byte per frame
20 ~ 50K byte per frame
64kbps~384kbps @ 30fps
128kbps~768kbps @ 30fps
256kbps~4096kbps @ 30fps
Note: Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 5 kbps to 64kbps. Most xDSL/Cable modem upload speeds may not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able to receive any video while streaming audio on a 128 kbps or lower connection. Even though the upload speed is more than 128kbps, for optimal video performance, disabling audio streaming will get better video performance.

Appendix D: DDNS Application
1. Preface
If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own Networked
Device or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server.
Host your own Networked Device and much more no matter what your computer's IP address may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS service supports all top level domain names including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.
2. Ethernet Network Environment
Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked
Device on.
(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network
If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service.
Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.
(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network
If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of the Networked Device in order to let the outside administrator be able to access through internet.
3. Application Steps – DDNS & Domain Name
(1). Visit the following web site: http://www.dyndns.org/
(2). Click “ Account ”
70
(3). After the columns show up at the left side, click “ Create Account”.
(4). Fill the application agreement and necessary information. a. Username b. E-mail address and confirmation c. Password and confirmation d. Submit all the input information and finish creating an account
71
Click these two options
72
(5). Check your e-mail mailbox. There will be an e-mail with a title “Your DynDNS Account
Information“. Click the hyperlink address to confirm the DDNS service that you just applied. Then DDNS you applied activated.
Click to confirm
(6). Enter the web page http://www.dyndns.org/ again. Input your username and password that you just applied to login administration interface of DDNS server.
Input your account
(7). If the correct username and password are input, you can see the following picture at the top-right of the login page.
73
(8). Click the “ Services”.
(9). Click the “ Dynamic DNS ”.
(10). Click the “ Create Hosts ”.
74
(11). We could create a domain name without any charge at this step. First, we input the host name. (No.1) Then we pick a domain that is easy to remember. Finally (No.2), click the “Add Host” to submit the domain name information. (No.3)

4. Setup the DDNS and PPPoE of Network Device
At last, users have to enter the web page of Networked Device and setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE after the application of DDNS service. Please check the user manual to access the DDNS and PPPoE pages. After saving the modification, restart the device. The external users could browse the Networked Device by the input of their domain name.
75
Appendix E: Alarm I/O Connector
Interfacing to the External I/O
Some features of the Camera can be activated by an external sensor that senses physical changes in the area device is monitoring. These changes can include intrusion detection or certain physical change in the monitored area. For examples, the external sensor can be a door switch or an infrared motion detector. These devices are customer provided, and are available from dealers who carry surveillance and security products. Electrically, they must be able to provide a momentary contact closure.
This device provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one output for device control. Pin 2 and 3 can be connected to an external sensor. The input voltage will be monitored from the initial state ‘LOW’. If the external sensor need 12VDC power, then it can connect to Pin1 (50mA maximum). The Alarm Output of pin 3 and 4 can be used to turn on or off the external device.
