Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the streaming source, transmission mode and saving options
at local computer� It is composed of the following four sections: Stream Options, MPEG-4 Media
Options, MPEG-4 Protocol Options and MP4 Saving Options� When completed with the settings on
this page, click Save to take effect�
Stream Options
The Network Camera support dual streams: MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG� Select the streaming
source from stream 1 or stream 2� For more information, see Video settings on page 41�
MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data� This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four choices of transmission modes for
MPEG-4 streaming:
UDP unicast :
This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured� Activate UDP
connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and video quality is less important�
Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the
Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses�
UDP multicast :
This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all
clients requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the
Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time� Note that to utilize this feature,
the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time� For more
information, see RTSP Streaming on page 33�
TCP :
This protocol guarantees the delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video
quality� Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that
with the UDP protocol for a narrower bandwidth�

HTTP :
This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the users don’t need to open
specific port for streaming under some network environment� Users inside a firewall can utilize this
protocol to allow streaming data to come through�

► How does UPnPTM work?
UPnPTM networking technology provides automatic IP configuration and dynamic discovery
of devices added to a network. Services and capabilities offered by networked devices, such
as printing and file sharing, are available among each other without bothersome network
configuration. In the case of Network Cameras, you will see Network Camera shortcuts at My
Network Placesꢂ
► Enabling UPnP port forwarding allows the Network Camera to open secondary HTTP port
on the router, not HTTP port, meaning that you have to add the secondary HTTP port number
behind the Network Camera’s public address in order to access the Network Camera from the
Internet. For example, when the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to
8080, refer to the list below for the Network Camera's IP address.
From the Internet
In a local area network
http://203�67�124�123:8080
http://192�168�4�160 or
http://192�168�4�160:8080
► If the PPPoE settings are incorrectly configured or the Internet access is not working, restore
the Network Camera to factory default; see Restore on page ꢅꢆ for details. After the Network
Camera is reset to factory default, it is accessible in a local area network.
HTTP
Authentication :
Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides
two types of security settings for a HTTP transaction: basic and digest� If basic authentication is
selected, the password is sent in plain text format; there can be potential risks of being intercepted�
If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted in MD5 algorithm and thus
provide better protection against unauthorized accesses�
HTTP port / Secondary HTTP port :
By default, the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP

If the ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning messages are displayed:
To access the Network Camera within a local area network, both HTTP port and secondary HTTP
port can be used to access the Network Camera� For example, when the HTTP port is set to 80
and the secondary HTTP port is set to 8080, refer to the list below for the Network Camera's IP
address�

On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;
bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable� The video qualities are selectable at the
following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed and Excellent�
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the clients,
producing dynamic effects similar to movies� Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees
the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage� And
because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to
the clients�

There are two parameters for setting the motion detection: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the
illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between
the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C), and will be compared with the
sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects. Higher
sensitivity settings are expected to sense a slight movement while smaller sensitivity settings
tend to neglect it. When the sensitivity is set to 70%, the Network Camera defines the pixels in
the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the
motion detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identified as “alerted pixels”. When the
percentage is set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the defined threshold; therefore, the

Appendix
URL Commands of the Network Camera
Overview
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network
Camera/Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs� This section specifies
the external HTTP based application programming interface� The HTTP based camera interface
provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera functions (PTZ, output relay
etc�) and to get and set internal parameter values� The image and CGI-requests are handled by the
built in Web server�
Style convention
In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a
content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string� When replacing the text string also the
angle brackets shall be replaced� An example of this is the description of the name for the server,
denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string
myserver in the URL syntax example, also below�
URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word followed by a box with the referred syntax as seen
below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be replaced with the
name of the actual server� This can either be a name, e�g�, "mywebcam" or "thecam�adomain�net"
or the associated IP number for the server, e�g�, 192�168�0�220�
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" followed by the returned data in a light grey
box� All data returned as HTTP formatted, i�e�, starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a
Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n�
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n
URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" followed by a short description and a light grey
box with the example�
Example: request a single snapshot image
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video�jpg
General CGI URL syntax and parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other
separators� When the CGI request includes internal Network Camera parameters, the internal
parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the Network Camera or video server� The
CGIs are organized in function related directories under the cgi-bin directory� The file extension of
the CGI is required�
