Part 1 - Remote Setup
Network
IP Address
Change the network settings, enable FEN and security features, and control network bandwidth use.
• Type: Select the type of network you are using. If this option has been changed, Remote Setup will terminate after applying the current settings.
- Manual: Select if using a static IP. You will then be able to configure the related settings manually.
- DHCP: Select if connected to the network using
DHCP. Click OK to retrieve IP address and other network settings automatically from the DHCP server.
- ADSL (with PPPoE): Select if connected to the network using ADSL. Enter the ID and password for
ADSL connection and then click OK to log in and retrieve the IP address and other network settings automatically.

• DNS Server: Enter the DNS server’s IP address. By using the DNS server, you will be able to use domain names instead of IP addresses when configuring the
FEN, time, or SMTP server. If the camera is connected to the network via DHCP, select the From DHCP option to retrieve the DNS server’s IP address from the
DHCP server automatically. The updated address will be displayed upon the subsequent connection.
• Contact your network administrator for more information on the camera's network connection type, the DNS server's IP address, and other related information.
• If using DHCP or ADSL, the camera's IP address may change from time to time. We therefore recommend that you use the FEN feature.
Part 1 - Remote Setup
FEN
Select Use FEN to enable the FEN feature.
• FEN Server: Enter the FEN Server’s IP address or domain name.
• Port: Enter the FEN Server’s port number.
• Use NAT: Select if the camera is connected to the network via a router.
• Camera Name: Enter a camera name you wish to register to the FEN Server. Click OK to check the name’s availability.
• Help Desk: Change the settings and then click OK to register the entered camera name to the FEN Server.
If all the settings have been configured correctly, the
FEN Server’s help desk information will be shown in the Help Desk fields next time you enter the FEN setup screen.

Part 1 - Remote Setup
• Use FEN is a feature that allows you to register a unique name for a camera that utilizes a dynamic
IP address to the FEN Server and connect to the camera using the registered name instead of an IP address, which can change from time to time. In order to use this feature, you must first register a
FEN name to the FEN Server.
• If network settings have been changed, click OK at the bottom of the setup window to save the changes and then setup the FEN.
• FEN Server's default address is fen.idisglobal.
com. DNS server must be configured under network setup to ensure normal operation.
• If using an IP router (or NAT), port configuration and other network functions will depend on the usage method of the IP router (or NAT).
• You will not be able to save FEN settings unless you click on the OK button next to the FEN name field and check the entered name's availability.
In addition, you will be prompted with an error message if you do not enter a FEN name or enter a name already registered to the FEN Server. If the
FEN name contains the #, \, and/or % symbol, it might not be able to connect to the camera from the IDIS Web program.
The FEN Server operated by IDIS is a service to its clients and may go offline without notice for server update purposes or due to an unexpected failure.
Port/QoS
Use/Port: Enable/disable ports and designate corresponding port numbers. Admin, Watch, Record, and Search ports are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. By enabling IDIS Web and RTSP ports, you will be able to use the IDIS Web program or a media player that supports RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) service to connect to the camera. If this option has been changed, Remote Setup will terminate after applying the current settings. (Applicable to Admin port number only.)
• DSCP: Designate each port’s QoS (Quality of Service) level using DSCP values. Assigning QoS levels prioritizes the ports for network bandwidth use.
Higher the DSCP value, higher the QoS level and thus higher on the network bandwidth allocation priority list. Use 0 if you do not want to assign a QoS level. The network environment must support DSCP in order for this feature to function properly. Contact your network administrator for more details.
14
• Use HTTPS: Select this option to apply https protocolbased security on IDIS Web.
• Use UPnP: If the camera is connected to the network via an IP router (or NAT), select this option to connect to the camera without setting up port forwarding.
The IP router (or NAT) must be enabled with UPnP in order for this feature to function properly. For more information enabling UPnP on your IP router (or NAT), refer to the IP router or NAT’s operation manual.
Click Check to test the current port settings.
A confirmation message will appear if all the selected ports are available for use. If not, a list of recommended port numbers will be shown.
Click Apply to use the recommended port numbers.
Part 1 - Remote Setup
• It is not allowed to use the same port number for more than one function.
• You can connect to the camera using a media player that supports RTSP service and monitor its video feed. If the camera is connected to the network via an IP router (or NAT) or is behind a firewall, you must open the ports. (All ports if using UDP protocol and
RTSP ports if using TCP protocol) This feature may not be supported by al media player. In addition, video display on certain media players may not be smooth depending on the network status, video streaming compression method used, and/or the resolution setting. Connection methods are as follows:
– Via PC: Launch the media player (such as VLC) and then enter rtsp://ID:Password@IP Address:
RTSP Port Number/trackID='Stream Number'
(Stream Number: 1 if Primary, 2 if Secondary, and
3 if Tertiary). (e.g.: rtsp://admin:@10.0.152.35:554/ trackID=1 (User: admin, Password: None, Camera
IP Address: 10.0.152.35, RTSP Port Number: 554,
Stream: Primary))
– Via Mobile Device: Launch the web browser and then enter http://IP Address:IDIS Web
Port Number/ (If Use HTTPS has been enabled, enter https instead of http). Camera's IDIS
Web port number and RTSP port number must be configured correctly in order to establish a connection this way.
• Port numbers of the remote program must be updated whenever the camera's port numbers are changed.
• ONVIF protocol may not function if using HTTPS.

Part 1 - Remote Setup
Bandwidth Control
Regulates the camera’s network bandwidth use based on network traffic fluctuations.
Security
Select Network Bandwidth limit and then specify the maximum bandwidth. The camera will not be able to use more than the specified limit in the event of network traffic.
It may not be possible to produce the frame rate specified under Video > Streaming if a network bandwidth limit has been set.
• IP Filtering: Select this option to enable IP Filtering.
IP Filtering allows camera access from certain IP addresses and blocks access from others.
- Add: Add new IP addresses to Allow List or Deny
List. Select the Host option to add one IP address at a time. Select the Group option to define a range of
IP addresses you wish to add.
- Remove/Remove All: Remove individual or all IP addresses from Allow List or Deny List.
16
• SSL: Select this option to enable SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer). Enabling this option applies SSL protocol protection on data transmitted out. However, programs and systems that do not support SSL will not be able to connect to the camera. If this option has been changed, Remote Setup will terminate after applying the current settings.
• Time server, FEN Server, and SMTP server's IP addresses must be added to Allow List under IP
Filtering in order to use Time Sync, FEN, and Send
Email features. No connection to the camera will be permitted whatsoever from IP addresses added to
Deny List.
• Enabling the SSL option may place a greater load on the external system, depending on the level of security being used.
• This product contains software developed by Open
SSL Project for use in Open SSL Toolkit. (http://www.
openssl.org/)
Part 1 - Remote Setup
IEEE 802.1X
Select the IEEE 802.1X option to enable IEEE 802.1X network connection authentication.
• Certificates: Upload a certificate or a private key. You may be prompted to enter a password for the private key.
• Settings: Configure EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol) settings.
- EAP Type: Choose a network connection authentication method. Selected method must be identical to the authentication method used on the authentication server.
- EAPOL Version: Choose EAP authentication’s version.
- EAP Identity/EAP Password: Enter authentication
ID and password.
The authentication server and AP must support IEEE
802.1X authentication in order for the IEEE 802.1X network connection authentication feature to function properly.
