Audio This camera supports the audio full duplex that can be transmits and receives audio in both directions at a time. Basic Use the Audio tab to manage and configure the basic audio settings for the camera. Figure 27. Audio / Basic Audio Setting: Click the Enable audio checkbox to enable audio. This page describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the camera. Compression type: G.711 is the international standard for encoding wired-telephone audio on 64kBit/s channel.
- G.711, also known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), is a very commonly used waveform codec. G.711 uses a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second, with the tolerance on that rate 50 parts per million (ppm). Non-uniform quantization (logarithmic) with 8 bits is used to represent each sample, resulting in a 64 kbit/s bit rate. - There are two slightly different versions; μ-law, which is used primarily in North America, and Alaw, which is in use in most other countries outside North America. G.
Event The Event tabs describe how and when the unit will perform certain actions. Alarm In, Manual Trigger and VMD may be set up as alarm sources.

Synchronize with NTP Server: This option will obtain the correct time from an NTP server every 60 minutes. The NTP server's IP address or host name is specified in the time server. Set manually: Using this option allows you to manually enter the date and time. Date & Time Format: Select one of the Date and Time format. Date Format: The default setting is YYYY-MM-DD. Time Format: The default setting is 24 hours.
Network Contact with your network administrator to avoid any network conflicts before setting or changing the IP address of the camera. Network - Basic Use the Network-Basic tab to manage the network settings. Figure 53. System / Network – Basic IP Address Configuration: The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server has a feature that automatically assigns an IP address to the device if there is a device on the network.
Use the following IP address: Select the choice box if you want to assign the IP address manually. IP address: The address of the camera connected to the network. Specify a unique IP address for this network camera. Subnet mask: The address that determines the IP network that the camera is connected to (relative to its address). Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on. Default router: The router that accesses other networks.
Network – DDNS The DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service can provide the camera with its own URL (web address), which can then be used to access it over the Internet. Use the DDNS service to assign a host name for easy access to your network camera. NOTES - If the camera has not previously been registered at the Dynamic DNS Service, you need the registration process first. You will then need to visit http://www.security-device.name to complete the process.
User name: Enter the registered user name to be used for accessing the DDNS server. Password: Enter user password to be used for accessing the DDNS server. Confirm password: Enter user password again to confirm. Maximum time interval: Set the interval at which to regularly update the Dynamic DNS service. The default setting is 10 minutes. □ Register local network IP address: Register a network camera IP address to the DDNS server.
Network – RTP These RTP settings concern the IP addresses and port numbers to use for video and audio stream(s). Figure 55. System / Network – RTP Port Range: The RTP Port range defines the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. This feature is useful if the camera is connected to a NAT router with manually configured port mapping. NOTE Limit the range of ports permitted for RTP unicast/multicast by entering the Start port and End port in the provided fields.
The video/audio ports entered here must be even values. Multicast: Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The camera has been preconfigured with addresses from these ranges, and does not normally need to be reconfigured. If an address does need to be changed, please contact your network administrator. Multicast destination IP: Click in the Multicast destination IP box and type IP address. NOTES - Multicast addresses are allocated according to these IANA policies.
Network – UPnP UPnP is enabled by default, and the network camera then is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol. Figure 56. System / Network – UPnP UPnP Setting: Click the Enable UPnP checkbox to disable the UPnP. The default setting is enabling. Friendly name: Click in the Friendly name box and type a description for the text you are creating (1 to 32 alphanumeric characters).
Network – QoS Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on an IP network. Quality can be defined as e.g. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet losses, etc. Figure 57. System / Network – QoS DSCP Setting For each of the supported types of network traffic, enter a value for the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) field in the data packet's IP header.
- The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority. - Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications. - Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

Language Use the Language tab to configure the language supported. Figure 58. System / Language Language Setting: Provides the option of language supported. Language: The default setting is English. - Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
Maintenance Use Maintenance tab to maintain the camera especially software reset, upgrade, backup parameters and restore parameters. Figure 59. System / Maintenance Maintenance: Provides software reset of the camera when troubleshooting. Restart: The camera is restarted without changing any of the setting. Use this method if the unit is not behaving as expected. Reset: The unit is restarted and most current settings are reset to factory default values, but the following settings does not reset.
Upgrade: Provides the latest firmware into this camera. When you upgrade the firmware with a file, your camera receives the latest available functionality and unparalleled reliability. NOTE Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes before upgrading the firmware. Upgrade: Upgrades the new firmware as follows. 1. Save the firmware file to your computer. 2. Browse to the desired firmware file on your computer. 3. Click the Upgrade button.
Support The Log and Reports provides variable information on troubleshooting and contact information, should you require technical assistances. Figure 60. System / Support Log: The log file records event in the unit since the last system restart and can be a useful diagnostic tool when troubleshooting. System Log: Provides information about system events. Reports: The Report contains important information about the server.

Troubleshooting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you suspect a problem is being caused by incorrect configuration or some other minor pr oblem, consult the troubleshooting guide below. Upgrading the Firmware Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the network camera. One of your first actions when troubleshooting a problem should be to check the current firmware.
Check the Video & Image setting. 8. Blurred images. Refocus the camera. 9. Poor image quality. Increased lighting can often improve image quality. Check that there is sufficient lighting at the monitored location. Check all image and lighting settings. 10. Rolling dark bands or flickering in image. Try adjusting the Exposure Control setting under AE and AWB part. 11. H.264 not displayed in the client. Check that the correct network interface is selected in the Video & Image/Stream. 12.
