Basic Setting Click Setting to enter the setting page Basic Setting > System Basic Setting > System > System Basic Setting > System > System > System Info Device Name: You can set the name for your camera here. Click Set to complete the setting. MAC Address, IP Address, Network Mask, and Gateway: Network information Model: Display the product model name. Hardware Version, Firmware Version and Firmware Build time: Firmware information.
Basic Setting > System > System Log This function can send log file to syslog server to monitor the situation of ALS-7721. You can download free software of syslog server from internet. Input the IP address of syslog server Basic Setting > System > System > System Log > System Log Max Size: The numbers that log exist, the default is 100000. Critical Log: The most important log file. Warning Log: The medium level log file. Information Log: The general log file.
Basic Setting > Video/Image Basic Setting > Video / Image > Video ALS-7721 can provide three video simultaneous stream: H.264 (Main), H.264 (Sub) and MJPEG. It is recommended to select H.264 for real-time browsing to optimize the bandwidth. MJPEG is a good choice for the best resolution when video recording is required for collection of evidence. According to the requirement, you can select the different sensor scan mode.
Basic Setting > Video / Image > Video Image > Resolution Generally speaking, selection of resolution is dependent on the bandwidth of the network you are using. This product offers different selections for video/audio settings. However, to ensure undisrupted image transmission, you need a higher uploading bandwidth. It is recommended to use CIF resolution for normal bandwidth. The product offers 2 image resolutions (PAL/NTSC): 1. D1 (NTSC: 704x576 / PAL: 704x480) 2.
Basic Setting > Video / Image > Video Image > Quality There are two video quality modes: Fixed rate mode is suitable for use in a network environment that the upload bandwidth is limited. Please select the appropriate bit-rate according to your network environment. For example, if the network (upload) bandwidth available for the network camera is 500kbps, 500kbps multiplied 0.8 equals 400kbps (considering 20% overhead).
Basic Setting > Video / Image > Video Image > GOP GOP provides users with the function to set the pages of the I Frame and P Frame to be transmitted in the H264 mode. Basically, the I Frame page contains the entire picture and needs higher bandwidth, while the P Frame page only contains the parts that are different from the I Frame and need lower bandwidth. Hence, when you need to transmit the pages without disruption in a normal network environment, you can set up a higher GOP.
Basic Setting > Video / Image > PreProc / Overlay Basic Setting > Video / Image > PreProc > Video Video Source: You can select to display the date, time and text or not. Basic Setting > Video / Image > PreProc > Overlay Display mode: You can select to display the date, time and text or not. Foreground color: Selects the color for date, time and tax display.

For this purpose, you need to check “Enable” at Anonymous Login. However, “Disable” for this options is recommended for the sake of security.
Basic Setting > Network Basic Setting > Network > Network (Wired Network Setting) Basic Setting > Network > Network > IP Assignment Network setting page DHCP setting: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that enables automatic assignment of TCP/IP information to the client. Each DHCP client connects to the DHCP server to access its network setting information, including IP address, gateway, and DNS server. The IP address of the camera is 192.168.0.20 by default when DHCP is "OFF".
Basic Setting > Network > Service Basic Setting > Network > Service > FTP Service ALS-7721 can become the small FTP server to download the AVI or JPEG file from SAMBA or SD Card. The default status is enabling the function. Due to the function only provide the SAMBA and SD Card applications, ALS-7721 not release all FTP setting for user. The default account and password is “ftp”, and you can only modify the password by yourself.
Basic Setting > Network > Streaming Setting of the video streaming port (HTTP and factory default are recommended) Basic Setting > Network > Streaming > Streaming HTTP: Port 80 can pass through most firewalls. Video streams are transmitted through HTTP Port (80 by default) to ensure passage through firewalls. RTSP: Port 554 uses a fixed port (i.e. TCP) or can be defined by users to ensure reliable data transmission.
Basic Setting > Network > PPPoE (Dial-up Networking Setting) Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is a protocol that supports access to a high-speed wideband network using a PC and a wideband modem (such as xDSL, Cable, Wireless modem). The user need only to equip the PC with an Ethernet card and apply to an ISP and an ADSL provider (such as Chunghwa Telecom) for ADSL service to roam the Internet through ordinary twisted copper wires.
Basic Setting > Network > PPPoE > PPPoE Dial: You can select whether or not to dial when you boot the machine (On Boot or Off). Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP.

Subnet Mask: The subnet mask information acquired when dialing has been executed successfully.
Basic Setting > Network > DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) The IP address (Ex. 210.168.0.22) is like a telephone number, while the website address is like a name in an address book. The DDNS allows the user to access the website by entering the name of the website without memorizing a bunch of cold numbers. When you apply for an Internet service, you will have at least one IP address from your ISP that is either fixed or dynamic.
Basic Setting > Network > UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) If you connect your camera to a router, IP allocator, or wireless AP, your camera will possibly be blocked by the NAT and can’t be located on the Internet. To penetrate the firewall, activate the supportive item- UPnP. The Link URL shows the external IP address and the port of the router. Enter the IP address in the Internet Explorer to penetrate the NAT.
To activate the UPnP function in Windows OS: Ex: Windows XP: Step 1: Click Control Panel 1. Windows component installation. Step 2: Click Add/Remove Programs Step 3: Click Add/Remove Windows Components Step 4: Click Networking Services Step 5: Click Detail Step 6: Check UPuP User Interface 2.
