The Mpeg4 Network IP Camera receives an event signal from external devices such as infrared sensor, alarm sensor etc. ② Motion Detection from…… This is to detect motion from camera by S/W data comparison. When you select “Motion detection”, the Mpeg4 Network IP Camera detects a motion triggered by camera. To detect motion, the camera compares a previous image from present image. When the camera recognizes the data change through comparing the previous image data with present one, then motion detection function is activated. ③ Periodically….. The Mpeg4 Network IP Camera itself is to be triggered periodically by setting a certain value from 1 to 3600 seconds. You may set the periodical event time for certain hour like 06:00 to 24:00 by setting 1 o’clock to 24 o’clock. ④ Motion Detection Sensitivity This is to configure the level of motion detection sensitivity. The level is composed of 5 levels from 0 to 4 The higher the level is, the more sensitivity applies. NOTE In a dark place without light, it may never detect the motion because its image wouldn’t be changed at all. NOTE In case of level 4 for sensitivity, the camera may detect a tiny motion even a light changes, so the event can be trigger so often. In case of level 0 for sensitivity, the camera may not detect a tiny motion. It is strongly recommended to configure it as the level of 1 ~3 for motion detection sensitivity setting in normal condition
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 45⑤ Motion Detection Area This is to configure the motion detection area in the images. Up Middle Down Left Right Middle_Middle Whole Area (2) Image capture option This is to configure image capture option when an event is triggered.

Consecutive numbers are from “000” to “999” Ex) When you designate file name as “camera” and select “Image sequence number”, the file name appears “ camera001.avi, camera002.avi ….camera999.avi” (3) Trigger Output This is to configure digital output states and control script. Mpeg4 Network IP Camera sends captured image via E-mail or FTP server when connected external sensors detect events. ① External devices signal output This is to supply voltage to output port when events are triggered. (This option is only activated when you select “Activation of digital output” option in previous “Trigger Condition” option.) ② Send alarm to ETSP client This is to send alarm to ETSP client. If you check it in a box, the alarm will be sent to ETSP client when the events are triggered. ③ Send captured image via E-mail This is to designate a person to receive captured image via Email. Mpeg4 Network IP Camera sends captured video to designated E-mail address through SMTP Image capture option limitation Configuration for image capture option affects memory capacity. If you configure this option to excess memory size, the warning message “Not enough memory…” appears. The total image capture frame rate must be limited 120 fps due to memory size. (Before event time + After event time) x Image capture frame rate must be under 120. For example, in case you configure “Before event” as 3 seconds, “After event time” as 2 seconds and “image capture frame” as 3fps, the total image capture frame rate is ( 3 + 2) X 3 = 15 fps. If warning message appears, please reduce the value of the option.

MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 51Wireless configuration (For wireless Mpeg4 camera only) This screen is used to configure wireless settings to match your access pointer for a wireless network connection. Wireless Setup 1. Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the Wireless Network IP Camera. There are two choices: Infrastructure Mode and Ad-hoc Mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is Infrastructure Mode. 2. Set the Service Area Name (SSID) as per the access point setting to which the user wants to connect. 3. The channel is set to channel 1 as a default. In Infrastructure Mode the camera will automatically find the Access Point. The channel only needs to be set in Ad-hoc mode. 4. The default setting for the “Tx rate” is Auto; however, it can be set up to 54 Mbps in 802.11 G mode and upto 11 Mbps in 802.11B mode.
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 52Wireless Security Settings: WEP: Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties. The WEP key needs to be entered in HEX code. To set up 64-bit WEP, input 10 HEX characters, for example, 0123456789. To setup 128-bit WEP, input 26 HEX characters, for example, 01234567890123456789012345 Authentication: WEP uses two type of authentication method to authenticate the connection request. One is OPEN key authentication in which All clients are allowed to authenticate and second is SHARED key authentication, this mode allows the AP to send the client a challenge text, which the client encrypts and returns to the AP. If the AP successfully decrypts the challenge text, the client is authenticated Set the authentication type as per Access point authentication type. The wireless Mpeg4 Network IP camera’s “Auto” mode automatically switches between open & shared mode. Example 1) Suppose your Access point uses 64-bit encryption, default key 1, Authentication is shared and the key value is 0123456789. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be:
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 53Example 2) Your AP uses 128-bit encryption, default key 2, Authentication is shared and the key value is 01234567890123456789012345. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be: Please note: All four WEP Keys need to be set up the exact same way as they are defined in your Wireless Access Point. Make sure the Encryption Code is the same as that of the access point the camera will be connected to under Infrastructure Mode. Your PC’s encryption code also needs to be set up to match the camera’s encryption code under either Infrastructure or Adhoc Mode. The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable; therefore, to secure the wireless transmission, be sure to enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data. NOTE Carefully input the Encryption Code. Any error will cause the communication link to fail
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 54IMPORTANT Infrastructure Mode: This is an 802.11 networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through an access point (AP). In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. When one AP is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs that form a single sub network. Most corporate wireless LANs operate in Infrastructure Mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers. Ad-hoc Mode: This is an 802.11 networking framework in which devices or stations communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP. Ad-hoc Mode is also referred to as Peer-to-Peer Mode or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Ad-hoc Mode is useful for establishing a network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. SSID (service set identifier): This is a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network. To connect a wireless client such as a Wireless Network IP Camera to a specific AP, the user of camera should specify the SSID name in the camera’s wireless IP setting.
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 557 PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support Power over Ethernet use a single Ethernet cable to transmit both power and data. For PoE to work, the electrical current must go into the data cable at the power-supply end, and come out at the device end, in such a way, as shown below, that the current is kept separate from the data signal so that neither interferes with the other. The current enters the cable by means of a component called an injector. As MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA and NETWORK VIDEO SERVER are IEEE 802.3af Standard PoE compatible, then they will function properly without modification when connected to PoE injector or other PoE supporting network devices directly using standard LAN cable as shown below. Connect to Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector Connect to LAN Port of Camera

By installing Mpeg4 Network IP Camera itself at the desired site, your may monitor views from remote site. 2. What kinds of devices are needed to install? It needs no other equipment except power and network cable. 3. What is maximum transmission speed? Mpeg4 Network IP Camera compresses and transmits 30frames per second on 10 base-T Network. However this speed is not equal to every user. Because transmission is depends on performance of user’s PC and network bandwidth. And there are two viewpoints to calculate transmission speed. The maximum transmission speed is 30 frames per second from user’s viewpoint. However, it does not mean that everyone can receive 30frames peer second. Because transmission speed also depends on user PC performance and network line capacity. Mpeg4 Network IP Camera can transmit to up to 25 users simultaneously. If 5 users are receiving 10 frames per second, the total frames that Mpeg4 Network IP Camera to transmit are 50 frames per second. In this case, Mpeg4 Network IP Camera transmits 50 per second from its viewpoint. And the total size of 50 frames’ images is under the network bandwidth. When Mpeg4 Network IP Camera is on 10 base-T network, the line can transmit 123 frames of 3KB-images per second. 4. What is the maximum number of users to access Mpeg4 Network IP Cameras simultaneously? Mpeg4 Network IP Camera can support up to 40 persons at the same time. The capacity for users is fixed to 35 persons to support already accessed users at rapid transmission speed. When 35
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 59persons access the camera, users can receive 1 frames per about 5 seconds. Asks for the Installing and Running Mpeg4 Network IP Camera 1. What network Line can be used with Mpeg4 Network IP Camera? All network lines (except telephone lines) can be used, although telephone lines may be used through PCs to connect to Mpeg4 Network IP Camera remotely. Network limes such as xDSL, cable modem. that use dynamic IP addresses require a different installation process than a dedicated line that has a static IP address. 2. What is the maximum extension range of network lines? UTP Cable that is used for the Ethernet can be extended up to 100 meters without bridging. However existing UTP Cable can be extended up to 240 meters without bridging. 3. Does Mpeg4 Network IP Camera need a special rack or case for outdoor use? Originally, Mpeg4 Network IP Camera itself can’t be weatherproofed. Therefore, it has to be equipped with weatherproof case if Mpeg4 Network IP Camera is used for outdoor, like existing CCTV or something. 4. If Mpeg4 Network IP Camera consists of only permanent IP address and several private IP addresses. Can Mpeg4 Network IP Camera be connected to the network with a private IP address? Mpeg4 Network IP Camera can be assigned a private IP address on a network with a permanent IP address. If the network is a Class C network (255.255.255.XXX), then Mpeg4 Network IP Camera may be assigned any available number in the last “room” (represented by XXX). However, since Mpeg4 Network IP Camera is a web server, it can be designated as a local server. Any device on a LAN can be designed as the local server through the router. Designating Mpeg4 Network IP Camera as the local server will make it easier for people outside the LAN to view real-time images form Mpeg4 Network IP Camera. 5. If the network consists of only private IP address, can Mpeg4 Network IP Camera be connected at the network? Mpeg4 Network IP Camera can be connected to LAN having only private IP addresses, but only people on the local network can access Mpeg4 Network IP Camera. Networks with narrow bandwidth may not be able to support several Mpeg4 Network IP Cameras connected simultaneously.

MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 74 H. Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) 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. The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.intellinte-network.com , 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. Two such several excellent DDNS services are www.ods.org (ODS) and 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 the the home page or the service for detailed instructions. A DDNS service works by uploading your WAN IP address to its servers periodically, your gateway-router may support DDNS directly, in which case you can enter your DDNS account information into your router and it will update the DDNS servers automatically when your IP address changes. Please consult your router’s documentation for more information. If your router does not support DDNS, you can run a small client utility on any PC on your network which will perform the updating. The client utility is usually provided for free by the service. Check the service’s web page for further information, terms and conditions.
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 75How to use ODS DDNS service 1. Get access to ODS homepage (www.ods.org). 2. In case you didn’t register your ID, you should select ‘REGISTER’ menu and then register your ID/ Password. Otherwise, you just login with registered ID/Password. 3. After you register ID/Password normally, you can see ‘Manage’ page.

MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 81I. High Speed Solutions This information is to help you access high-speed Internet services such as xDSL or a cable modem connection. However, most high-speed Internet Services provide you with some external IP addresses, there are several practical issues that should be considered. AVAILABLE IP ADDRESS ISP (Internet Service Provider) will provide you with several external static IP addresses ideally –in which case you can assign any one of these to your Mpeg4 Network IP Camera to make it fully accessible over the Internet. However, if your service provider supplies you with only one IP number – which is often the case – this IP number is normally assigned to your PC-leaving no connection available for your Mpeg4 Network IP Camera. What can you do if your ISP is unable to provide you with an IP number? There are a number of other options what you may like to consider: including: NAT BOX Short for Network Address Translation, NAT (Network Address Translation) is Internet standard that allows a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. A NAT box located where your LAN meets the Internet will handle all of the necessary IP address translations and provides: z Internal IP addresses that are unique to your network – with no possibility of conflict with IP Addresses used by other companies and organizations. z The possibility of combining multiple ISDN connections into a single Internet connection. z An effective firewall for hiding internal IP addresses NAT Feature in Windows 2000 Utilize the NAT feature in Windows 2000 to allow multiple Ethernet cards in your PC, and you can then use one of port for the Internet and the other for your internal network. With this solution, you can let your Mpeg4 Network IP Camera upload image streams to an external Web Server that is maintained and located with your ISP.
MPEG4 NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide 82ROUTERS AND FIREWALLS Another solution is to use one of several small routers/firewalls currently available on the market. These provide the necessary NAT functionality and allow complete independence for your PC, which can be switched off or rebooted without affecting the image transmission from your Mpeg4 Network IP Camera. WINGATE SERVER SOFTWARE: Running on a single Windows 95/98/2000 or NT computer, this software allows multiple users simultaneous access to the Internet through a LAN or higher-speed line, such as xDSL or cable modem connection; and effectively shares a single Internet connection with almost any type of client computer running TCP/IP. For more advanced users, the WinGate 3.0 Standard and Pro versions also allow the administrator to change the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed specifically to your Mpeg4 Network IP Camera – running behind the WinGate software. NOTE NAT, or Network Address Translator, Virtual LAN) A hardware device currently being developed and used to extend the Internet addresses already in use. NAT has been suggested as an alternative to adopting IPv6 (IPng). It allows duplicate IP addresses to be used within a corporation and unique addresses outside. It is defined in RFC 1631.

ARP – Address Resolution Protocol. A method for finding a host's Ethernet address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another host and waits for it (or some other host) to send back its Ethernet address. Each host maintains a cache of address translations to reduce delay and loading. ARP allows the Internet address to be independent of the Ethernet address but it only works if all hosts support it. The ARP command can be used to set the IP – addresses for your product. CGI – A standard for running external programs from a World-Wide Web HTTP server. CGI specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the HTTP request. It also defines a set of environment variables. Commonly, the program will generate some HTML which will be passed back to the browser but it can also request URL redirection. A set of rules (or a program) that allows a Web Server to communications with other programs. DSL – Digital Subscriber Loop, A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and telephone companies. DHCP - A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network.
