Set the desired options for Access.
Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the FCS-0010/WCS-0010 Network Camera available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera. Router/Gateway Setup Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the FCS-0010/WCS-0010 Network Camera.
Network Camera Setup The FCS-0010/WCS-0010 Network Camera configuration does NOT have be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024). • You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the FCS-0010/WCS-0010 Network Camera. HTTP Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Network Camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Network Camera.
3. Operation is then automatic: • The Network Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. • Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name allocated by the DDNS service provider. Viewing Live Video via the Internet Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended.
Motion Detection Alerts The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by: • Sudden changes in the level of available light • Movement of the camera itself. Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely.
Chapter 5 Web-based Management 5 This Chapter provides Setup details of the Network Camera’s Webbased Interface. This Chapter is for the Camera Administrator only. Introduction The Network Camera can be configured using your Web Browser. The Network Camera must have an IP address which is compatible with your PC.
