Network Camera User’s Guide Image flickers. Noisy images occur. Can not play the recorded ASF file • Wrong power line frequency makes images flicker. Make sure the 50 or 60Hz format of your device. • If the object is dark, the image will flicker. Make the condition around the Camera brighter. The video images might be noisy if the device is located in a very low light environment. Make the condition around the camera brighter or turn the White-light LED on.
Network Camera User’s Guide Appendix C: PING IP Address The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm the device installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network. If you want to make sure the IP address of the device, utilize the PING command as follows: z Start a DOS window. z Type ping x.x.x.
Network Camera User’s Guide Appendix D: Bandwidth Estimation The frame rate of video transmitted from the device depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements form your device. The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa.

Network Camera User’s Guide Appendix F: Configure Port Forwarding Manually The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first.
Network Camera User’s Guide Your WAN IP Address will be listed here. Note: Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP. A Static IP address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location. If you could not get a Static IP address from your ISP, the DIPS™ or DDNS is a solution alternatively.
Network Camera User’s Guide • If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply. • Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time. A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled. Important: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can open the appropriate ports accordingly.
