If it is duplicated, a warning message will appear. 7. ETSP port number Set the port number for ETSP [Event Trigger Setting Program]. (Default is "11000" and users can select from 8000 to 65535. For the detail of ETSP, please refer to the ETSP manual.) 8. 1st, 2nd DNS Server Address To map between IP address and domain name, you should enter you DNS server address. If a user set the DNS server into the camera, users can configure the SMTP server, FTP server, and NTP server with domain names. DNS (Domain Name System) DNS (Domain Name System) is used to map between IP address and domain name. Every network device connected to the Internet has an IP address that is used instead of its domain name. Common users are not familiar with IP addresses but the domain names. If a user accesses a certain network device with its domain name, a DNS server translates the domain name into an IP address . 9. SMTP server You need to specify your SMTP Server if you want to use any of the camera's email features. Other than that, it can be left blank. 10. Use SMTP Authentication If you need user authentication for accessing the SMTP server, check this box. and enter your ID and password for your SMTP server. Realm should be left blank, and authentication should be set to LOGIN in most cases. - Authentication method: Choose the SMTP authentication method. - ID: : Enter the user ID for SMTP authentication. - Password: Enter the user password for SMTP authentication.. - Realm: : Enter the Realm for SMTP authentication. 37 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide 11. DDNS Registration To register the Wireless Network IP Camera to a DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), check the Enable box. 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. (Please refer to the Appendix for details.) 12. ID, Password Enter the ID and password to find the registered Wireless Network IP Camera in the DDNS server. 13. Host Name Enter the host name to find the registered Wireless Network IP Camera in the DDNS server. 14. DDNS Manual Update You can update the DDNS manually. 15. Status Shows the status of successful DDNS access. 16. Submit Sends configured data to the Wireless Network IP Camera. 38 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Wireless Configuration 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 to 5.5. or 11 mbps if required. NOTE Keep in mind the slide switch on the rear panel must be positioned to LAN-WAN or WLAN for the wireless communication to take effect. 39 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Security Settings: 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 Example 1) Your access point uses 64-bit encryption, default key 1 and the key value is 0123456789. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be: Encryption (WEP): WEP Key Entry #1: WEP Key Entry #2: WEP Key Entry #3: WEP Key Entry #4: Default Key: . Example 2) Your AP uses 128-bit encryption, default key 2 and the key value is 01234567890123456789012345. Your wireless camera WEP setting will be: 128bit 00000000000000000000000000 01234567890123456789012345 00000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 2 64bit 0123456789 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 1 Encryption (WEP): WEP Key Entry #1: WEP Key Entry #2: WEP Key Entry #3: WEP Key Entry #4: Default Key: Please note: All four WEP Keys need to be set up the exact same way as they are defined in your Wireless Access Point. 40 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide 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 IMPORTANT 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 the camera should specify the SSID name in the camera's wireless IP setting. 41 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide User Configuration This screen is used to configure IDs and passwords for an Administrator and up to 5 users. 1. User Account (max. 10 characters) There is one Administrator account and 5 user accounts. Account names can be changed. 2. Password (max. 10 characters) If you want to open your Wireless Network IP Camera to everyone, you cannot change default user ID and password. However, you should change the administrator ID and password to a unique selection. 3. Frame Rate Define the maximum frame rate for each user. This feature is useful if you want to reserve bandwidth for "power users." 4. Access Rights The Administrator may assign users rights of viewing control. With the default setting, the administrator has all configuration authority, and the normal user doesn't have any right except to access the login page and the camera home page (live video). 42 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Event Trigger Configuration This screen is used to designate an e-mail address or FTP server to receive captured images by setting SMTP or FTP settings. You may connect external devices such as an infrared sensor or alarm sensor to use with the provided terminal block (please refer to Appendix F ­ The I/O Connector). 1. Trigger Condition This is to select option how to send an event signal to theWireless Network IP Camera. Activation of digital input port The Wireless Network IP Camera receives an event signal from an external device such as an infrared sensor, alarm sensor, etc.. The trigger condition defines the the "active" state of the IO Port. 43 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Motion detection from...... This is to detect motion from camera by S/W data comparison. When you select Motion Detection, the Wireless Network IP Camera detects a motion triggered by the camera lens. To detect motion, the camera compares a previous and present image. Motion is detected when, the camera recognizes a data change. This feature does not work if the image is too dark. Also, the Motion Detection only works reliably at a maximum image resolution of 320x240. CAUTION: Do not use the motion detection function for security monitoring of high value items. When using motion detection for security, the use of an external sensor, such as infrared, is recommended. The "from" and "to" values specify the time window in which the motion detection is active.. Example: From 8 to 19 would activate the motion detection between 8 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening. Periodically..... The Wireless Network IP Camera itself is to be triggered automatically by a programmable setting. Motion detection sensitivity This is to configure the level of motion detection sensitivity. The level is composed of 10 settings from 0 to 9. The higher the setting, the greater the sensitivity. In case of level 9 for sensitivity, the camera may detect a tiny motion, even light changes. It is strongly recommended to configure levels 3 - 6 for sensitivity. 2. Image Capture Option This is to configure image capture before and/or after an event is triggered. Before event You may set the starting time to capture the image before an event is triggered. (Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.) After event You may set the finishing time to capture the image after an event is triggered. (Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.) Image capture frame rate Set the frame rate from 1 to 15 fps when the image is being captured. Image file name You may designate an image file name to send via e-mail or FTP after an image is captured. All captured images are saved as JPG files. (Example. "File name 000".JPG) 44 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Append to the image file name You may append some information to the Image file name A. Camera IP address : Example: "file name _192.168.1.19".JPG B. Date and time : Example: "file name_20020218150030."JPG C. Trigger condition flag 1. If choosing "Activation of digital input port", "D" may be appended to image file name. Example: "file name_D."JPG In case of choosing "Periodically every...", "P" is appended to image file name. Example: "file name_P".JPG D. Image sequence number If you select this option, you may classify the file that has same extend name. Consecutive numbers are from "000" to "999" Example: When you designate the file name as "camera" and select "Image sequence number,"the file name appears " camera001.JPG, camera002.JPG ....camera999.JPG" 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 45 fps due to memory size. (Before event time + After event time) x Image capture frame rate must be less than 45. For example, if you configure "Before event time" as 3 seconds, "After event time" as 2 seconds and "image capture frame" as 3 fps, the total image capture frame rate is ( 3 + 2) x 3 = 15 fps. 45 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide 3. Trigger Output This is to configure digital output states and control script. The Wireless Network IP Camera sends captured images via e-mail or FTP server when connected external sensors detect events. 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.) Send alarm to ETSP client This is to send an alarm to an ETSP client. If you check the box, the alarm will be sent to the ETSP client when an event is triggered. ETSP Client is currently under development (as of January 2005). It will be available for download at the following address: http://www.intellinet-network.com/ipcamera. Send captured image via e-mail This is to designate a person to receive a captured image via e-mail. The Wireless Network IP Camera sends a captured image to a designated e-mail address through an SMTP server. You may configure the SMTP server and E-mail address. (E-mail address must be composed within 50 bytes, which are equal to 50 English characters. Send captured image to FTP server This is to send a captured image from the Wireless Network IP Camera when an event is triggered. Enter FTP server IP address, user ID and password and select a directory to save the image. The FTP Server Address needs to be entered without "FTP://"! Example for use of the directory field: Root Folder for FTP User Account which the camera uses: root Subfolder in which the images should be uploaded: root/images In that case you need to enter "images" (without leading or trailing /) in the directory field. FTP RENAME ENABLE: If the camera uploads an image to your Web Site every xx seconds (refresh) and if you display this image on your web page, you should always check this box. Otherwise it can be left unchecked. 46 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide Time Configuration This screen is used to configure date and time. 1. Synchronized with NTP server The Wireless Network IP Camera automatically configures date and time through the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. The NTP Server is based on Greenwich time. Select NTP server, IP address and Time Zone to set the date and time automatically, then press SUBMIT. It may not work due to the possible network error; in this case, you can select other NTP server and IP address or you can set the date and time manually. Once date and time are set,, you don't have to reconfigure when connecting to the Wireless Network IP Camera. The "Update Interval" tells the camera how often to contact the NTP Server to resync the internal clock. For time critical applications the update interval can be set from 1 minute to 2880 minutes (= 2 days). Free NTP Servers can be found at: http://www.ntp.org/. 2. Set manually Enter the date and time manually, then click SUBMIT. 3. Enable Daylight Savings This is to configure for Daylight Savings Time. 47 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide System Configuration This screen is used to configure camera name, location and public image access. It also lets you remotely restart the camera and restore the factory default values. 1. Camera name This is to configure camera name for the front-page view. Camera name should be limited to 15 bytes, which are equal to 15 English characters. 2. Camera location This is to configure camera location for the front-page view. Camera location should be limited to 30 bytes, which are equal to 30 English characters. 3. Supply voltage to output port option This option is to supply voltage to the Wireless Network IP Camera's output port. Just click "supply" to supply voltage to control the PTZ devices. 48 WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User's Guide 4. Direct public access to image via HTTP The camera supports a method to access the live image directly without logging in to the camera. The URL is: http://camera_ip/jpg/image.jpg. If direct public access is enabled, the image can be accessed without entering username and password. If direct public access is disabled, a valid username and password must be provided. This feature is important for users who wish to use the camera in 3rd party video monitoring applications as it turns your Network IP Camera into a "JPG Compatible Camera". 5. Image file name (maximum length 10 characters) Set the image file name for the public access feature. Example1 ­ Public Access is enabled: http://192.168.1.221/jpg/image.jpg Example2 ­ Public Access is disabled: http://guest:guest@192.168.1.221/jpg/image.jpg* * MSIE does not support this type of command any longer due to a recent security upgrade by Microsoft. 6.
