ASSIGNING IP ADDRESS & ACCESSING NETWORK
VIDEO SERVER’S HOMEPAGE
Access via IP Addresses
To access the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.
Important
To access NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, you first should assign an appropriate IP address.
When you assign an IP address to NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, make sure to use an
unoccupied IP address which is in the same subnet as the rest of your Network
• Network IPAddress:
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network.
Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations within
a closed Network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoid
duplicates.
IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.
• MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address)
MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a network.
The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network
media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER is a 12-
digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each Network IP
Camera.
NOTE
Please run the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the
same local network as the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.

Information on IP Addresses
1. If you do not know which IP Address you have to enter in IP INSTALLER you should ask your
Network Administrator for an available IP Address.
2. In case you are installing Network IP Camera in Home Network which communicates to the
Internet using a Broadband Router, you should perform the following steps:
2.1. Find out the IP Range of your Network.
Example: Windows XP Home Edition
Click on: START -> Settings -> Network Connections.
Double-Click the Local Area Connection Icon and activate the Support Tab.
In the example above the Default Gateway is 10.10.8.1. That needs to be entered in IP
INSTALLER as the GATEWAY ADDRESS. In the example above the IP Address of the PC is
10.10.8.53; the camera can therefore have an IP Address of 10.10.8.xxx.
2.2. Find a free IP Address for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER
You need to find out which IP Address is not taken by any PC in the network, If you have a Router you can
look at the DHCP Server configuration. If your PCs all obtain an IP Address from the Router you can assign
an IP Address to the camera which is at the end of the DHCP range. Example: DHCP Range from 10.10.8.20
– 10.10.8.199
An IP Address at the end or beyond the DHCP range can be used for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.
To verify that the IP Address is not taken you need to run the PING command from the command prompt for
that IP Address, i.e. ping 10.10.8.201.
If address 10.10.8.201 is not responding you can safely use it as the IP ADDRESS in IP INSTALLER.

Assigning IPAddress by using Hyper Terminal (Advanced Users only)
This chapter is for advanced users only. Normally it is not required to access the camera via
Hyper Terminal. The installation via IP INSTALLER is the preferred method. You may skip this
chapter and continue with “Accessing NETWORK VIDEO SERVER Homepage”.
Configuring Hyper Terminal
Hyper Terminal is a basic program for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP. A PC can communicate with

Network Video Server User’s Guide
6. You can see Network Configuration while [Boot] Prompt is running by pressing ‘p’ key again.
Here, inet on ethernet (e), host inet (h) and gateway inet (g) values are network configuration
values. You should review these values and change accordingly. If you don’t know what value you
should assign, contact your network administrator.
Inet on ethernet (e) is IP address and subnet mask address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER. IP
address and subnet mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, IP address is
represented by decimal numbers delimited by dot (.) like ‘192.168.1.27’. Hexadecimal numbers
like ‘ffffff00’ in the case of ‘255.255.255.0’ represents subnet mask address. Note that the numbers
of subnet mask value are not delimited by dot. See the example in the above picture.
Host inet (h) is the address to which NETWORK VIDEO SERVER tries to connect to upgrade its
firmware program in flash memory. NETWORK VIDEO SERVER first searches this host on the
network on booting sequence. For more information on NETWORK VIDEO SERVER upgrade,
refer to “E. Updating NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s Newly upgraded Program”.

4) Java Applet for Macintosh or Unix/Linux System users and Windows Users who do not
use MS Internet Explorer
If you are using Microsoft Windows as the Operating System and use MS Internet Explorer as
the primary web browser, than there is no need to use the JAVAApplet.
In all other cases ActiveX technology is not available and JAVA is the option to go with.
Following users need to select JAVA:
- Linux Users (Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, …)
- Apple Macintosh Users (Safari, Firefox, MS IE)
- Windows Users (Firefox, Mozilla, Opera)
The JAVA Runtime Environment must be installed on the computer. In most cases this is the case.
But the latest Windows XP installations do not have JAVA installed by default.
NOTE
1. When using JAVA instead of ActiveX, the following commands are not
available: Save Snapshot, Save AVI Video, View Image Only and Install XviD.
2. When using JAVA instead of ActiveX, the frame rate can be lower in
comparison. ActiveX gives the user usually a slightly better performance.
3. Users of MSIE and Windows who need to use JAVA instead of ActiveX,
perhaps due to high security settings, want to use Microsoft’s VM instead of
Sun’s JAVA Runtime Environment. Microsoft’s own JAVA VM requires fewer
system resources and has proven to be more stable.
The necessary settings can be changed in the Internet Options of MS Internet
Explorer (Tools->Internet Options ->Advanced -> enable Microsoft VM and
disable JAVA (SUN)).

Image Configuration
NETWORK VIDEO SERVER Image Parameters
1. Video Input
Network Video Server supports two different types of analog video Signals: NTSC and PAL. NTSC
is used in the United States mainly while PAL is being used across the globe, especially in Europe.
Ultimately this setting depends on the standard which the CCTV Camera you connect supports. If
the camera supports PAL you need to select PAL, even if you are located in the United States.
2. Compression rate
Level 10 = highest compression, smallest file, lowest image quality (recommended setting)
Level 1 = lowest compression, biggest file, best image quality
The file size of JPEG-compressed image depends upon the actual content of the image. Images
containing much detail will generate larger files. Image quality is controlled through the level of
compression; where high compression yields small files, while low compression maintains higher
image quality at the expense of larger files.
You will find that at level 10 the relationship image size <-> image quality is the best. Higher
compression values will increase the image quality slightly, but will also increase the resulting
image size dramatically.

3. Image size
You may choose the image size VGA (640x480) or QVGA (320x240) and SQVGA (160*120).
Larger resolutions g lower frame rates while small sizes result in higher frame rates.

When selecting “using DHCP”, the IP address, Subnet mask address and Gateway address may not
be activated at all. Under DHCP selection, the IP address may be sent to an email address whenever
IP address is changed. Users in a local network area may check the IP address through IP installer.
NOTE
If you select “DHCP”, you may see the rebooting message “Now the Network Camera is
rebooting to apply the changes...” on Web Browser. After completing rebooting, Operating
Status LED blinks once per second. (The message may not be changed at all so you must
check whether the Operating Status LED blinks.)
To select DHCP, you must have DHCP server in the network. Otherwise, the IP address will
be rebooted automatically as the previous IP address. It may take 4 minutes for booting.
After rebooting, please reenter the previous IP address.
You may see the fail message from “Network Configuration” page.

3. 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 camera, users can configure SMTP server, FTP server, and NTP
server with its domain name.
DNS (Domain Name System)
DNS (Domain Name System) is to map between IP address and domain name. Every network
device on the world has its IP address to be connected on Internet. And the device is to be
connected not with its domain name but with its IP address. Common users are not familiar with IP
addresses but the domain names.
If a user accesses a certain network device with its domain name, DNS server resolves the domain
name into an IP address of the device and replies the result to the user. A lot of DNS servers are not
on Internet worldwide.
4. SMTP server
This to enter the SMTP server IP address or host name to send camera system information by an
email. You should configure this first to get camera system information by email.

Event Trigger Configuration
NETWORK VIDEO SERVER
can perform certain tasks
without user interaction. It can
send images via Email or
upload JPG images to an FTP
Server, i.e. an Internet Web
Server or a shared network
drive. It can trigger external
devices by supplying power to
the 12V output port. And it
can access shared network
drives for storage of JPG
images.
There are three trigger events:
1. Activated by external
security sensors. You may
connect external devices such
as Infrared Sensor or Alarm
Sensor to use with the
provided
terminal
block
(please refer to Appendix F –
The I/O Connector).
2. Activated by the internal
motion detection
3. Periodically every xxx
seconds.
Please note:
Only one trigger condition
should be selected at a time.

Network Video Server User’s Guide
1. Trigger Condition
This is to select option how to send an event signal to NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.
① Activation of digital input port
The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER receives an event signal from external devices such as infrared
Sensor Alarm sensor etc.
The “Trigger Condition” (closed or opened) defines the alert state of the digital IO connector. There are
two types of sensors on the market.
One type of sensor keeps the circuit open and closes the circuit in case it detects a motion
-> Trigger Condition = closed.
The second type keeps the circuit closed and opens it in case it detects a motion.
-> Trigger Condition = opened.
② Motion Detection
This is to detect motion from camera by S/W data comparison. When you select “Motion detection”, the
NETWORK VIDEO SERVER detects a motion triggered by camera lens. To detect motion the camera
compares a previous image from present image. When the motion is detected, the camera recognizes the
data changing through comparing the previous image data with present one.
Please note: It does not work at low light conditions or in darkness.
Motion detection sensitivity: Possible values are 0 to 9.
0 is the lowest sensitivity level. At this level the camera will detect virtually no motion.
9 is the highest setting. At this level the camera will generate a lot of false alarms. The changes in the
image caused by the JPG algorithm are enough to trigger an alarm.
Levels between 3 and 6 give good results and are therefore recommended.
③ Periodically
The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER performs the action based on a time interval (entered in seconds).
About “from … to ….”:
This controls the time window in which the trigger is active. The time is entered in the international 24 hour
time format. Example: 6 = 6 am. 20 = 8 pm.
CAUTION
Using NETWORK VIDEO SERVER’s integrated Motion Detection Function for security
surveillance is not recommended as the function does not work as reliably as professional security
sensors. The use of 3rd party Video Surveillance Software and Professional Sensors is
recommended.

2. Image capture option
This is to configure image capture option when an event is triggered.
① Before Event
You may set the starting time to capture image before event is triggered.
(Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)
② After Event
You may set the finishing time to capture image after event is triggered.
(Input limitation is from 0 to 21 seconds.)
③ Image capture frame rate
Set the frame rate from 1 to 15fps when the image is being captured.
④ Image file name
You may designate image file name to send Email or FPT after image is captured.
All captured image are saved as a JPG file. (Example. “File name 000”.JPG)
⑤ Append to the image file name
You may append some information to Image file Name Camera IP address
A. Camera IP address : Ex) “file name _192.168.1.19.JPG
B. Date and time : Ex) “file name_20020218150030.JPG
C. Trigger condition flag
In case of choosing “Activation of digital input port”, “D” may be appended to image
file name. Ex) “filename_D.JPG”
In case of choosing “Periodically every…”, “P” is appended to image file name.
Ex) “filename_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”
Ex) If you designate file name as “camera” and select “Image sequence number”,
then the file names are: “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 is limited to 45.
(Before event time + After event time) x Image capture frame rate must be under 45.
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.

activated when you select “Activation of digital output” option in previous “Trigger
Condition” option.)
2. Send alarm to ETSP client (currently not available, option not useable at this point)
3. Send captured image via E-mail
This is to designate a person to receive captured image via Email.
NETWORK VIDEO SERVER sends captured image to designated E-mail address
through SMTP server. You may configure SMTP server and E-mail address where you
want to receive. (E-mail address must be composed within 50 bytes. 50 bytes = 50
English characters).
4. Send captured image to FTP server
This is to send captured image from NETWORK VIDEO SERVER when an event is
triggered. Enter ftp server IP address, User ID and Password and select directory to save
image. The FTP Rename Option should be used if the camera is set to replace an existing
image on a server every xx seconds. This option makes sure that the image on the server
will always show up for the visitors of your web site.
5. LAN Storage: Send captured image to Network Share/File Server/NAS
NETWORK VIDEO Server can also store JPG images on a Network drive, i.E. a shared
drive in your Windows Network Neighborhood, a NAS device or a Linux Samba share.
Network Share/File Server/NAS IP: IP Address of the share.
NetBIOS Name: optional, not required if IP Address is specified
User ID: The user ID required to access the of the shared network drive
Password: The password required to access the of the shared network drive

This screen is to configure date and time.
1. Synchronized with NTP server
The NETWORK VIDEO SERVER automatically configures Date & Time through the NTP (Network
Time Protocol) server. The NTP Server is based on Greenwich time. Select NTP server, IP address and
Time zone. The Update Interval tells the Video Server how often to synchronize the internal time with
the external NTP Server. Possible values are 2880 minutes (= 2 Days) to 1 minute. The default value is
1440 which represents ‘once a day’ and should suffice for most applications.
In case the NTP Server you chose is no longer available you can find a list of freely available NTP
The NTP Server can be entered with the Domain Name instead of the IP Address; however, this requires
the DNS Server entries in the NETWORK CONFIGURATION Screen to be filled out correctly.
2. Set manually
Enter the Date and Time manually, then click “SUBMIT”.
3. Enable Daylight Savings
This is to configure the Daylight Savings Time.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) Support
Power over Ethernet uses 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 the NETWORK IP CAMERA 550710 and NETWORK VIDEO SERVER 550000 are PoE
compatible, then they will function properly without modification when connected to PoE injector
directly using standard LAN cable as shown below.
Connect Ethernet from PoE

NOTE
As the embedded PoE modules of NETWORK IP CAMERA 550710 and NETWORK
VIDEO SERVER 550000 are slightly different from IEEE 802.3af standard, use
recommended PoE injector only. (Ask to where you bought 550710 or 550000)
Some of PoE switches in the market are not compatible with NETWORK IP CAMERA
550710 and NETWORK VIDEO SERVER 550000, although connecting to that switches does
not cause damage to both ends.

B. Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
Asks for the features
1. What is a Video Server?
A Network Video Server is a network CCD camera server with an integrated Internet Server, image
compression device, flash memory, and many other features. No other hardware is necessary for
use.
2. What if I forgot my password?
Every access to Video Server needs authentication. If you are not a permitted user, you may view
the images or control the camera as long as the demo account is opened. The demo account user
may use username as guest without any password to access limited features. If you are one of the
managed users, you have to ask the administrators for the password. If you are the administrator,
there is no way to recover the root password. The only way to regain access to Video Server is to
restore the factory settings and reinstall it.
3. What is the advantage of the embedded OS?
Cameras with an embedded OS communicate directly with the user, the images or video is sent
directly from the camera to the person accessing the camera. A Network camera without an
embedded OS must rely on a third party server or a separate piece of software, meaning the
images/video is sent to the third party server, then the user access the image from the third party
server.
4. Do I need a public fixed IP address for each server?
No, that is not required. Using a free DDNS Server in addition to a router which is capable of
forwarding different ports (‘Virtual Server’) is all you need to install multiple cameras in a local
network and access them independently from the Internet.
5. Why can I NOT watch video from Video Server after it is authenticated?
There are many possible scenarios regarding this problem.
A. If you have just installed Video Server and are enable to watch the video, check if the video
input is enabled and the video modulation in configuration page.
B. If Video Server is correctly installed and you are accessing Video Server for the first time using
Internet Explorer, you need to adjust the security settings of Internet Explorer to allow the
installation of the plug-in.
C. If the problem still exists after adjusting, the current users may be over the system allows.

Network Video Server User’s Guide
D. In case that you use default account, the administrator may protect the video from the public.
6. How can I use a name instead of the IP address to connect Video Server?
To allow users to connect to Video Server through an easily memorized name, the administrator
must installs the Video Server with a reserved IP address and assigns it with a name in the domain
name service, then users can connect to Video Server by typing a name instead of IP address. If
there is DHCP service in the network, the IP address must be excluded in the DHCP service to
prevent from IP conflict.
7. What additional software is required?
Networking IP Cameras with an embedded Operating System (OS) should not need any additional
software. An exception represents Video Surveillance of multiple Network IP Cameras with the
capability of simultaneous recordings. In this case the use of a 3rd Part Video Surveillance Software
is mandatory. A list of tested applications can be found at the INTELLINET NETWORK
SOLUTIONS Web Site.
8. How does the built-in motion detection work?
It very simply compares what it sees now to what it saw in the last frame and based on a sensitivity
you select will trigger an event. The event can be to send an email, to send an Image to a FTP
server, or to send a series of images (before and after the motion is detected) to an email address or
a FTP server-all with software built into the camera, nothing else is required.
9. What is the maximum length Ethernet cable I can use?
The same topology limitations that apply to any 10/100 Ethernet card apply, meaning the maximum
segment length is 100 meters from switch/hub to the camera
10. How much digital video can be stored on a normal 200-gigabyte hard drive?
Network IP Cameras equipped with a compression technology that can store almost a month of
continuous video on a 200-gigabyte hard drive.
11. What is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)?
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or "Active Ethernet" eliminates the need to run power to devices on a
wired LAN. Using Power-over-Ethernet, installers need to run only a single CAT5 Ethernet cable
that carries both power and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility and significantly
decreases installation costs in many cases.

14. Can I view a Video Server image from my PDA?
Network IP Cameras can now be viewed on most Windows CE, including Pocket PC and Pocket
PC 2002, Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 2005 devices, such as the Compaq iPAQ,
HP Jornada, Dell Axim, Casio Cassiopeia and many other devices.

C. Trouble Shooting
This appendix provides useful information to help you to resolve any difficulty you might have
with your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER. Fault symptoms, possible causes and remedial actions
are provided within a quick reference table.
PINGing your IP Address
By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING (Packet Internet
Groper) can determine whether a specific IP address is accessible; it also provides a particularly
useful method for confirming addressing conflicts with your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER on the
network.
Having disconnected your NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, follow the instructions below in
association with Symptoms, Possible Cause and Remedial Actions, on next page, and run the PING
utility to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your network.
① Start a DOS window
② Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER
③ The subsequent replies will provide an explanation as to the case as to the cause of the
problem. Replies can be interpreted as defined in the table below:

D. Utilizing IP Addresses on Local Network
Introduction
Access to the Internet is achieved via Internet IP addresses. Currently, IP addresses are limited. There are 5
classes of networks, and each network contains IP addresses. A network can only hold a limited number of IP
addresses. The number of IP addresses depends on the network class. The 5 classes are labeled “A” through
“E” with the most common one being the “C” class network.

1. Features of Addresses
IP address: The three-digit number in room ‘X4’ is for the Host ID. The number ranges from 0 to
255. Among the numbers, 0 is used for Network ID, 1 is used for Router IP (Gateway address)
and 255 are used for Broadcast address. The numbers from 2 to 244 are IP addresses that can be
assigned to NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, PC etc.
Network ID: Identifies a network. Generally the first number assigned is Network ID.
Gateway address: The IP address of the router for connecting Internet and local network.
Broadcast address: The IP address for broadcasting. All devices connected on local network
have the same Broadcast address.
Subnet Mask: Divides a local network into two remote networks. Subnet mask shows the IP
quantity in a certain network. The number that can be used as subnet mask is
limited (0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128)

H. Dynamic Domain Name Service (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.
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 DDNS
and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it. Please refer 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.

I. 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 IPADDRESS
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 NETWORK VIDEO SERVER 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 NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.
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 NETWORK VIDEO SERVER upload image streams to an external Web Server that is
maintained and located with your ISP.
71
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Network Video Server User’s Guide
ROUTERS 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 NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.
WINGATE SERVER SOFTWARE:
Running on a single Windows 9x/2000/XP 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 NETWORK VIDEO SERVER –
running behind the WinGate software.
A typical Router Setup for NETWORK VIDEO SERVER looks like this:
You have to create a PORT FORWARDING (sometimes referred to as ADDRESS TRANSLATION or
VIRTUAL SERVER) in the Router configuration.
External port 80 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 80 (TCP)
External port 8080 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8080 (TCP)
("80" and "8080" are the default ports.)
You can setup multiple local Network IP Cameras in your LAN which can all be accessed from the
Internet with just one public IP Address. The key is to assign different ports to the local cameras.
Example:
Camera1:
External port 81 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 81
External port 8081 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8081
Camera2:
External port 82 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 82
External port 8082 -> forward -> camera local IP : port 8082
You then can access the camera from the Internet using the following URLs:

K. Glossary of Terms
ActiveX – A control (or set of rules) used by a browser. ActiveX controls are often downloaded and
installed automatically as required.
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. The system administrator assigns a range of IP addresses to DHCP and each
client computer on the LAN has its TCP/IP software configured to request an IP address from the
DHCP server. The request and grant process uses a lease concept with a controllable time period.
Ethernet – A widely used networking standard.
Firewall –A virtual barrier between a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, e.g. the
Internet.
Frame Grabber Card – Plug-in hardware for “grabbing” images.

another computer over a TCP/IP network. Also the client program the user executes to transfer files.
It is defined in STD 9, RFC 959.
HTML - A markup language used to structure text and multimedia documents and to set up
hypertext links between documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web.
HTTP - A protocol used to request and transmit files, especially WebPages and WebPages
components, over the Internet or other computer network.
Intranet - A privately maintained computer network that can be accessed only by authorized
persons, especially members or employees of the organization that owns it.
IP – Internet Protocol. The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet
networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol.

IP number (address) – A unique number used by a computer on the network to allow it to be
identified and found.
JPEG – A standard image format, used widely for photographs (also known as JPG.).
LAN – Local Area Network. A data communications network which is geographically limited
(typically to a 1 km radius) allowing easy interconnection of terminals, microprocessors and
computers within adjacent buildings. Ethernet and FDDI are examples of standard LANs.
PING - A protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgment, often
used to check if another computer on a network is reachable.
PPP – Point–to–Point Protocol. A method allowing one computer to connect to another, usually via
a modem over a phone line.
Protocol - A set of formal rules describing how to transmit data, especially across a network. Low-
level protocols define the electrical and physical standards to be observed, bit- and byte-ordering
and the transmission and error detection and correction of the bit stream. High-level protocols deal
with the data formatting, including the syntax of messages, the terminal to computer dialogue,
character sets, sequencing of messages etc.
