Network settings

System will restart when changes are made on this page.
LAN
Get IP address automatically - The camera will select an IP Address from DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server within the network.
Use fixed IP address - Manually assign an IP address to the camera.
Subnet mask - The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.
Default router - The IP Address of the Router.
Primary DNS - A primary domain name server that translates IP addresses to a URL (i.e. www.dlink.com).
Secondary DNS - A secondary domain name server to backup the primary domain server.
Enable UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) - This option allows the computer to find this camera through UPnP, which a camera will show up under "Network Neighborhood" without configuration. UPnP is based on TCP/IP and Internet protocols. UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. The camera is an UPnP enabled device and it will work with other UPnP devices/software.
Enable UPnP port forwarding - The camera will add the port forwarding entry into the router automatically when this option is enabled.
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - Select this option if the camera is directly connected to the Internet through DSL modem, and the ISP (Internet Service Provider) requires you to use PPPoE for the Internet connection. Input the authentication information from your ISP into these fields.
HTTP Port - This port can be set to a number other than the default TCP port 80.
A corresponding port must be opened on the router. For example, if the port is changed to 8080, users must type in the web browser "http://192.168.0.100:8080" instead of "http://192.168.0.100".

RTSP Streaming
Access name - This option allows you to specify the file name for RTSP streaming.
RTSP Port - This option allows you to set a port other than the default UDP port 554.
WLAN configuration
SSID (Service Set Identifier) - This is the name of your wireless network such as Default, Conference, My network, etc.
Wireless mode - The wireless setting is set to "Infrastructure Mode" by default. This requires the use of an Access Point/Wireless Router. Change the setting to "Ad-Hoc Mode" if the network does not have an Access Point or Wireless Router.
Channel - By default the camera will use the channel of the Access Point it is connected to. The channel will be selectable only in Ad-Hoc mode.
TX rate - By default this is set to 'Auto', which automatically chooses the best rate in the network environment. This rate can be changed depending on the network load and the limitation of your hardware (from 1Mbps to 54Mbps). Recommendation: Change the TX rate to 54Mbps in the slow network environment.
Security -
Authentication mode:
None - No encryption is selected.
WEP - User can select either 64 or 128-bit encryption in hex or ASCII mode.
WPA-PSK - Selecting this mode will require an input of the pre-shared key between the camera and the wireless device it is connected to.
Encryption Mode:
Auto - This is selected by default. In this mode your camera's authentication method is automatically adjusted to the authentication mode of the access point or router's setting.
Shared - Allows communication only with other devices with identical WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy settings.
Open - This option makes the camera visible to all devices on the network.
Key length - Select the key length of either 64 bits (10 characters in HEX or 5 in ASCII), 128 bits (26 characters in HEX or 13 in ASCII).
Key format - Select either HEX or ASCII.
Default key - This will preset 4 separate keys that you can choose at the later time.

Audio/Video settings

General
Configure for computer viewing - Select this option to switch to computer viewing.
Configure for mobile viewing - Select this option to switch to mobile device viewing. The frame size will change to 176x144, 5 FPS and Video Quality: 40kps
Video settings
Color - Video display options, the user has the options between color or monochrome.
Frame Size - This option allows the user to choose the video resolution of the camera between 160x120, 176x144, 320x240 and 640x480.
Power line frequency - This option allows the user to choose the frequency of the power line that is used in different region (Power Line Frequency in US: 60Hz).
Maximum frame rate - The maximum number of frames that is displayed in 1 second. 30fps is the highest video quality for this camera. In general, any frame rate above 15 fps is imperceptible to the human eye.
Key frame interval - Determines how many repeated P frames will appear after one I frame. Large "Key frame interval" can reduce the bit rate, but cause image to be corrupted longer if there is packet loss while transmitting. The video quality may be poor due to the sending of maximum frame rate within the limited bandwidth when images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to ensure detailed video quality (quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically.
Video quality control - These settings are to optimize your camera performance with your available bandwidth.
Fix bit rate - Select a fixed bandwidth for your camera operation. This option allows the user to select custom frame rate suitable for the bandwidth and the storage space.
Fix quality - Selecting fixed Selecting fixed quality will roughly select your image quality and will not be as accurate as setting by bit rate. This setting is easier to use when image quality does not have to be precise. Below is a typical file size after 1 minute of recording at 30fps (frames per second). This is only an average measurement; your file size may differ due to lighting, black/white or color setting, and frame rate

Medium | Standard | Good | Detailed | Excellent
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
2.589MB | 2.857MB | 3.571MB | 4.598MB | 5.357MB

Flip - Vertically rotates the video.
Mirror - Horizontally rotates the video.
White Balance - White Balance is related to the color temperature. Color temperature is a way of measuring the quality of a light source. It is based on the ratio of the amount of blue light to the amount of red light, and the green light is ignored. The unit for measuring this ratio is in degree Kelvin (K). A light with higher color temperature (i.e., larger Kelvin value) has "more" blue lights than a light with lower color temperature. The default setting for the camera is "Auto".
Time stamp on video - Select this option to display the current date and time on the video image. All the snapshots and video data will have the date and time locate on the corner of the picture.
