2.3 Install the Device behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the

Internet you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the

WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual

Server function of router needs to be setup.

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.

Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:

　

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

　

(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)

　

(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS

1. Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.

4.1 Network: Configure Network Settings

Use this menu to configure the network to connect the device and the clients.

4.1.1 Network

This section provides the menu for connecting the device through Ethernet cable.

MAC address

Displays the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user can not change it.

Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP)

DHCP: Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically. If this device can not get an IP address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP address, 192.168.0.100, by itself as the default IP address.

IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway

If you do not select Obtain an IP address automatically, then you need to enter these network parameters manually.

Obtain DNS from DHCP

DNS: Stands for Domain Name System.

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network and provide DNS service.

19



Primary DNS and Secondary DNS

If you do not select Obtain DNS from DHCP, then you need to enter these parameters manually.

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://192.168.0.100:8080.

Therefore, the user can access the device by either http://xx.xx.xx.xx/, or http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/ to access the device.

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.

Click “OK” to save and enable the setting.

4.1.2 HTTPS

User can enable HTTPS for securing the video data if he enabled the HTTPS function.


20


HTTPS Enable/Disable

Use this function to enable or disable the HTTPS function.

HTTP&HTTPS or HTTPS only

User can choose to use both HTTP and HTTPS concurrently, or just use HTTPS as the access method.

Port

Specify the TCP port for the HTTPS.

4.1.3 DDNS Service

DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server

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 device over the Internet.

One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.

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. 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 G for more information.

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 your NAT router should take care of this job. 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.

21



DDNS

To enable or disable the DDNS service here.

Server name

Choose the built-in DDNS server.

DDNS Host

The domain name is applied of this device.

User name

The user name is used to log into DDNS.

Password

The password is used to log into DDNS.

4.1.4 PPPoE

PPPoE: Stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet

A standard builds on Ethernet and Point-to-Point network protocol. It allows your device with xDSL or cable connects with broadband network directly, then your device can dial up and get a dynamic IP address. For more PPPoE and Internet configuration, please consult your dealer or ISP.

The device 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.


22


The procedures are

Connect to a LAN by DHCP or Fixed IP

Access the device; enter Setting Î Network Î PPPoE as below

PPPoE

4.1.5 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.

23



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.

4.1.6 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.

Appendix A: Alarm I/O Connector

Some features of the Network Camera can be activated by the external sensor that senses physical changes in the area Network Camera 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. The pin 1 is located at the right side of terminal block from rear view. 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, 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.

The frame rate of video transmitted from the device 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 form your device.

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 device may be varying.

Note: Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 32kbps. Some xDSL/Cable modem upload speeds could not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able to receive good quality video while also 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 F: Configure Port Forwarding Manually

The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual

Server function of router needs to be setup. This device supports UPnP traversal function.

Therefore, user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first.

However, if user needs to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as below:

Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure as following:

　

(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

　

(2) Access the Router with Your Web browser

　

(3) Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router

1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example,

192.168.0.100.

2. Access the Router with Your Web browser

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The

D-Link DI-624 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the router by following the steps outlined in the router’s Quick

Installation Guide.

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP

Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP

Address is, go to the Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the following page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type in your web browser to view your camera over the

Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.

67


5. Appendix

Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.

Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP address from your ISP, the DIPS™ or DDNS is a solution alternatively. Please refer to Appendix G for more information.

3. Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing

The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from accessing the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access over the Internet. Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the

Internet. This is accomplished using the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual

Server ports used by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your camera. Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the Advanced tab of the router screen.

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings

Click Enabled.

Enter a unique name for each entry.

Select

Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private

IP field.

If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and

Private Port section, click Apply.


68

5. Appendix

Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.

A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080.

Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how to open ports.

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box on this line to enable settings. Then the device can be access from WAN by the router’s WAN IP Address.

By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.

Appendix G: DDNS Application

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.

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.

Application Steps—DDNS & Domain Name

1. Visit the following web site: http://www.dyndns.org/
