ports are set to use by default and you cannot change it. Checking the WebGuard or
RTSP box allows you to connect to the camera by using the WebGuard program or media players,
such as VLC Player, supporting RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) service. Remote Setup
closes after saving the changes (Admin port number only).
 DSCP
: Enter the DSCP value to set up the QoS (Quality of Service) level for each port. It decides
order of priority to use network bandwidth for each port. The higher the DSCP value, the higher
the QoS level and order of priority when allocating network bandwidth. When the DSCP value
is set to 0, the QoS level is not set up. For this function to work properly, the network environment
should support DSCP. Ask your network administrator for details.
 Use HTTPS : Check the box to enhance the security of WebGuard pages by using the HTTPS
protocol when running the WebGuard program.
 Use UPnP : Check the box to connect to the camera without manually setting up port forwarding
on the NAT device when the camera uses a NAT (Network Address Translation) device for
network connection. The UPnP function must also be enabled in the NAT device for this function
to work. Refer to the NAT device User’s Manual for details on enabling the UPnP function in
the NAT device. Clicking the
Check button checks the current port settings. A success message
is displayed if all the current port numbers are available, and recommended port numbers are
displayed if any of the current port numbers are not available.
Clicking the Apply button applies the recommended port numbers.
NOTES:
 Do NOT use the same port number for more than one function. If you do, the camera cannot
be connected with the remote programs.
 You can access the camera and monitor live video images using media players, such as
VLC Player, supporting RTSP service. You should open all ports for UDP protocol or an
RTSP port for TCP protocol if the camera uses a NAT (Network Address Translation) device
for network connection or if the firewall is enabled. This function might not be supported,
depending on the type of media player, and some media players might not play video properly
depending on network conditions or compression or resolution of images for streaming. You
can access video as follows:
–
Access from a PC: Start the media player and enter “ rtsp:// user : Password @ IP address : RTSP
port number /trackID=‘ stream number ’ ” (the number for the primary stream is 1, for the
secondary stream is 2, and for the tertiary stream is 3)
(e.g. rtsp://admin:@10.0.152.35:554/trackID=1 (user: admin , password: no password,
camera IP address: 10.0.152.35 , RTSP port number: 554 , stream: primary))
– Access from mobile devices: Start web browser on the mobile device and enter “ http:// IP
address : WebGuard port number / ” ( https instead of http if the Use HTTPS box is checked).
For this connection to work, the WebGuard and RTSP port numbers must be set up properly.
