Network >> Network IP Setting This item allows you to select the IP address mode and set up the related configuration. - DHCP: The default setting is DHCP and it uses your network’s DHCP server. When the camera starts up, it will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server automatically. Another option is to use Static IP, You should use Static IP mode to set a static IP so that the IP address will never change and you will always know what it is. - Static IP: Select this option to assign the IP address for the camera directly. You can use SkyIPCam Utility to obtain the related setting values. IP Enter the IP address of the camera. The default setting is 192.168.2.240. Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask of the camera. The default setting is 255.255.255.0. Default Gateway Enter the Default Gateway of the camera.

It is usually recommended that you input the Default Gateway of your network, which is the IP address of your router. Check with your router manufacturer for that information. THIS IS MANDATORY IF YOU WANT TO USE THE FTP OR EMAIL OPTIONS - PPPoE: Select this option when you use a direct connection via the ADSL modem. You should have a PPPoE account from your Internet service provider. Enter the User Name and Password. The camera will get an IP address from the ISP as starting up. If you are using a router, you will NOT use this option. NOTE Once the camera gets an IP address from the ISP as starting up, it automatically sends a notification email to you. Therefore, when you select PPPoE as your connecting type, you have to set up the email or DDNS configuration in advance. DDNS Setting With the Dynamic DNS feature, you can assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. Select the Enable option to enable this feature. Then, select the Provider from the pulldown list and enter the required information in the Host Name, User Name, and Password boxes.

DDNS function on the camera is ONLY used if you are NOT using a NAT router and your camera has a public IP address. If you ARE using the camera with a NAT router, the camera’s DDNS function will not work, and you will need to use the DDNS function in your router. UPnP The camera supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), which is a set of computer network protocols that enable the device-to-device interoperability. In addition, it supports port auto mapping function so that you can access the camera if it is behind a NAT router or firewall. Select the Enable option to enable this feature. Ports Number - HTTP Port: The default HTTP port is 80. Some ISP’s have port 80 blocked. If you are having problems, you can change it to some other port. The suggested port to be used is anything between 1024 to 65535 - 22 - Network >> IP Filter The IP Filter setting allows the administrator of the camera to limit the users within a certain range of IP addresses to access the camera. Start/End IP Address Assign a range of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the camera by entering the Start IP address and End IP address. When you are finished, click Add to save the range setting. You can repeat the action to assign multiple ranges for the camera. For example, when you enter 192.168.0.50 in Start IP Address and 192.168.0.80 in End IP Address, the users whose IP address located within 192.168.0.50 ~ 192.168.0.80 will not be allowed to access the camera.

The following table explains the four options: Open The default setting of Authentication mode, which communicates the key across the network. Shared-key Allow communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings. WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is specially designed for the users who do not have access to network authentication servers. The user has to manually enter the starting password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless network. If you select Open or Shared-key as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: - 24 - - Encryption: Select the WEP option to enable the data encryption feature to secure the camera within the wireless network. - Format: Once you enable the Encryption feature, you need to determine the encryption format by selecting ASCII or HEX. ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value.

This must match the WEP key value configured for your wireless router/AP. If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: - Encryption: Select TKIP or AES. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets to insure much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is used to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information. This must match the encryption type configured for your wireless router/AP. - Pre-Shared Key: Enter your wireless network key into the box, and this must match the Preshared key value configured for your wireless router/AP. - 25 - Network >> Wireless >> WPS Setting The camera supports WPS (WiFi Protected Setup™) feature that allows your camera to connect to the wireless network easily and safely without manually configuring the wireless security settings. Please note that Your AP/Router must support WPS feature as well. If you are not sure, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual of your AP/Router. Select either PIN or PBC mode to start the WPS session: Select PIN Mode: Step 1 Enter the SSID of the AP/Router you wish to connect to, or click Site Survey and select from the listed wireless networks. Step 2 Go to the WPS section of your AP/Router’s web configuration page, then enter the PIN Code generated by the camera (in this case, “00639392”) into the corresponding field. Please check your AP/Router’s manufacturer’s manual for more details. Select PBC Mode (Recommended): Step 1 Step 2 Click on the Connect button on this page or push the WPS button on the backside of the camera.
