[UPnP Settings]
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among
networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the
Universal Plug and Play Forum. It means that they are listed in the network devices table for
the operating system (such as Windows XP) supported by this function. Enabling this function,
you can connect to the camera directly by clicking on the camera listed in the network devices
table. This function is enabled by default.
[QoS Settings]
The Quality of Service (QoS) is a bandwidth control mechanism that guarantees
delay-sensitive data flows such as voice and video streams, obtain a certain amount of
bandwidth to keep the streaming smooth.
To apply QoS to your camera, all network routers must support QoS and QoS must be
enabled on these devices. To enable the QoS on the camera, enter a Differentiated Services
Code Point (DSCP) value. This value is a field in an IP packet that enables different levels of
services for the network traffic. When the video stream from the camera reaches a router, the
DSCP value will tell the router what service level should be applied, e.g. the bandwidth
amount. This value ranges from 0 to 63 in decimal format. The default value is 0 which means
QoS is disabled. Click
Apply
to finish.
[Network Connection Check Settings]
When the network connection check is enabled, the camera will check for Internet connection
and reboots automatically when it is disconnected from the Internet. This function is enabled
by default.
