This Chapter provides details of the Video Server's features, components and
capabilities.
Overview
The Video Server digitizes analog video signals and transmits digital images directly to your
wired LAN or the Internet. The Video Server is a device that used to turn an analog video
system into high performance IP-based solutions. The Video Server comes with the RS-485
interface, which can be used for external PTZ devices. It also supports Digital I/O (4-IN, 4OUT) for external sensors and alarms. Up to 10 authorized viewers from different locations
can view the H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG streams simultaneously.
H.264 uses the new innovations in video compression technology to provide excellent video
quality from the low video data. Bit rate can be saved up more with nearly lossless coding
while using H.264. The intent of the H.264 project was to create a standard capable of
providing good video quality at lower bit rates than previous standards, without increasing the
complexity of design which would be impractical or expensive to implement.
A convenient and user-friendly Windows program is provided for both viewing and recording
video. If necessary, you can even view video using your Web Browser, on a variety of software
platforms.
Features
•
Triple Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The H.264, MPEG4 and JPEG encoders
built into the video server generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the video
server using your Web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live video.
•
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
•
Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
Public Facility surveillance, the Video Server has the features you need.
other Internet related protocols, the Video Server can be easily integrated into your
existing network.
•
Easy Configuration. A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup.
Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard web
browser. The administrator can configure and manage the Video Server via the LAN or
Internet.
•
SD Card Slot. With the slot, you can insert the SD card to store recording files.
Viewing/Recording Utility. A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing
•
live video. For periods when you are absent, or for scheduled recording, this application
also allows you to record video on your PC. Use the Playback function of the supplied
Windows utility to view the recorded files.
•
3D-Deinterlace Support. It can provide clearer image when movement speed of the
view is moderate. It provides high quality edge preserving deinterlacing with the 4th
generation motion adaptive 3D-Deinterlacing algorithm and performs proper processing
for fast motion and film video sources.
•
Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Video Server
will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large
objects. Motion detection alarm can be triggered via e-mail, FTP, instant messaging and/or
an external alarm device.
•
Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule,
so it is active only when required.
•
Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Video Server can send its log data to
your Syslog Server.
•
Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
desired. You can connect an external microphone to the video server.
•
•
IP Filter. Use the IP Filter to block/accept access to the IP addresses.
User-definable HTTP/ HTTPS port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use
"port mapping" so the Video Server and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP
address.
•
DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet
IP address of the gateway used by the Video Server. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP
address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not support
DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Video Server.
•
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Video Server to calibrate its
internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video
from the Video Server will be correct.
•
PoE Support. (Wired Model Only) You can use IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over
Ethernet) to provide power to the Video Server, so only a single cable connection is
required.
Security Features
•
User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users.
Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video
stream. User authentication is not required if the Multicast feature is enabled.
•
Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so
that it only can be changed by the Video Server Administrator.
Wireless Features (Wireless Model Only)
•
•
Supports 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Standards. The 802.11n standard provides
for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g
Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Video Server supports either wired or
wireless transmission.
•
•
WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.
WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also supported,
allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.
•
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the
Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

Making Video available from the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the Video Server available via the Internet. You will need to
configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the video server.
Router/Gateway Setup
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from
Internet Viewers) to the Video Server. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine
which incoming connections are intended for the Video Server.
This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers. The Port
Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on
port 1024 should be passed to the Video Server. If necessary, check the user manual for your
Router/Gateway for further details.
The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network screen of the Video Server.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter. 2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with a minimum distance of 20 entimeters between the radiator and your body.
21
Video Server Setup
The Video Server configuration does NOT have be changed, unless:
•
You wish to change the port number from the default value.
•
You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Video Server.
HTTPS Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Video Server uses HTTP, but port
80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Video Server. This
port is called the Secondary Port.
The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1024/1025. If you prefer to use a different port
number, you can specify the port number on the Video Server's Network screen, as shown
below.
Figure 21: Network Screen
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect
and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the
correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a
domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then
apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Video Server.
3. Both Router and Video Server should use the same port number for DDNS service.
22
Figure 22: DDNS Screen
4. Operation is then automatic:
•
The Video Server will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that
the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP
address.
•
Internet users can then connect to the Video Server using the Domain Name allocated
by the DDNS service provider.
Example: HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024
mycamera.dyndns.tv is domain host name. 1024 is the port number.
23
Viewing Live Video via the Internet
Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT
recommended.
Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser
If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of
the video server's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number.
Enter the Internet address of the Router/Gateway, and its port number, in the Address (or
Location) field of your Browser.
Example - IP address:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the "Secondary
Port" number on the Video Server is 1024.
Example - Domain Name:
HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Domain name is mycamera.dyndns.tv and the "Secondary
Port" number on the Video Server is 1024.
Viewing Live Video with the Viewing/Recording Utility
If using the Windows Viewing/Recording Utility, the details of the Video Server must be
entered on the Cameras screen.
Figure 23: Add video server from LAN
See Chapter 6 - Window Viewing/Recording Utility for full details on using the Windows
Viewing/Recording utility.
24
Motion Detection Alerts
The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Video Server will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement
of large objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
•
Sudden changes in the level of available light
•
Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there
is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely.
Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Video Server, select the Motion Detection screen, then
configure this screen as described below.
Figure 24: Motion Detection
1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.
2. Set the areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up to 4
areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.
3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Event Trigger screen.
4. Save your changes.
If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related
options in the Event Trigger screen are not enabled, then the
only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the
system log.

DDNS Screen
Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, as follows:
• You must register for the DDNS service with a DDNS service provider. The DDNS
Service provider will allocate a Domain Name to you upon request.
•
The DDNS settings on the DDNS screen above must be correct.
•
The Video Server will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet
IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. (The Check
WAN IP Address determines how often the Video Server checks if the Internet IP address
has changed.)
This system allows other Internet users to connect to you using the Domain Name allocated by
the DDNS service provider.
