CONVISION CC-8*** Cameras User Manual
16
The port settings all relate to camera ports. If streaming outside of a LAN (e.g. to the internet), then
routers on both the camera and client side need to provide necessary access for these ports.
Video and audio server ports only need be changed if a network has security or operational
restrictions using these ports. In most cases, the RTP/RTCP video and audio should use the
default values.
While the RTP/RTCP audio/video ports by default are 6002-6005, this represents the starting point
for client connections. If 1 client is connected, then this connection would use 6002-6005, but a 2
nd
connection would then use 6006-6009. This may require proper router configuration if using the
web UI outside of a LAN.
Maximum Viewers refers to concurrent uses. Connections beyond this value will receive an error
upon connection.
Multicasting allows sending a message or data to a group via a single message. The multicasting
parameters are only for configuring a camera to use multicasting. A networking environment that
supports multicasting must be setup which is beyond the scope of this document.

Network – DDNS
DDNS is used to map a dynamically assigned IP address (a device using DHCP) with a hostname.
NOTE: Certain network configuration will likely be required (i.e. mapping the IP address recognized
by the DDNS service to the IP camera) to implement DDNS. Therefore, the network administrator
will likely need to be consulted.
If the IP camera uses DHCP, a DDNS service can provide a hostname for use with the IP camera.
Registration with one of the DDNS service providers (ddns.nu, dyndns.org) is required for use of
this feature.
