The message indicates that currently connected network has a bandwidth to support up to 10 network
cameras of identical bit rate settings (either on Stream 1 or Stream 2). If the message shows a less favorable
result, go to [Setup] > [Video] to lower current video bit rate values
Advanced
Adjust the advanced network settings here.
DNS server
Set the DNS server address to be via DHCP or use user-specified DNS address.
NTP Configuration
Set the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server address to ensure the clock of the camera system is
synchronized to show accurate time. To synchronize camera clock via NTP server, choose either to obtain
NTP server address via DHCP server whose address needs to be provided manually, or to use an external/
public NTP server whose default address is set as pool.ntp.org.
HTTP server
Set the HTTP port for your IP camera to be viewed and controlled over the Internet. The default port is 80.
Valid port numbers are between 1 and 32767. If you need to use port forwarding, please refer to the Port
Forwarding section in this manual.
RTSP server
Set the RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) port for your IP camera to enable the support of 3GPP
streaming for mobile phones. Default: 554. If you need to use port forwarding, please refer to the
troubleshooting section for port forwarding setup.
DDNS
Click here to enable the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) service if you are using floating/dynamic IP
and want to tie your camera’s current IP address to a domain name. And instead of remembering a string of IP
address, you can use the easier-to-remember domain name to access your camera over the Internet. Compro
iDDNS service is recommended here for use. Or if you already have an account with DynDNS or no-ip, you can
also input its domain name here for easier access to your IP camera.
UPnP
Check here to enable/disable the UPnP feature on your IP camera installed on your local network. Also,
you can change the device name here. If your operating system supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™)
feature and DHCP is in use on current network, this Compro network camera will be automatically detected
and added to the My Network Places in your Windows. If you want to use the IGD (Internet Gateway Device)
protocol on your IP camera, please check the [Enable IGD] box to enable it.
Notice!
If you want to enable the UPnP™ service on your Windows, please
execute the “Add or Remove Programs” item found in “Control Panel”,
and after “Add or Remove Programs” window appears, click on “Add/
Remove Windows Components” and double-click on “Networking
Services” item and check “UPnP User Interface” box and proceed to
install the component.
