4. Introduction
The MVC300 camera is a sleek and compact video recording device perfect for in-car mounting: an ideal solution if you
want to capture any significant events that might occur on the road. It can also be used to augment any fleet
management system with added video surveillance.
While MVC300 is versatile enough on its own the purpose of this document is to further extent possible applications of
the camera. The document describes how to connect MVC300 to Teltonika’s RUT500 3G/HSPA+ router and achieve 3G
camera solution.
5. Brief setup description
To access MVC300 WebUI from internet or to get video stream trough 3G, these steps should be completed:
1. The camera’s network settings should be:
IP address: 192.168.1.10
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
HTTP port: 80
2. RUT500 LAN IP address should be set to 192.168.1.1 and it should have DMZ to 192.168.1.10 enabled.
3. The camera should be connected to any RUT500 LAN port by Ethernet cable.
4. RUT500 needs a SIM card with an external IP address
5. Find out RUT500 3G IP address and use it to access MVC300 WebUI.

6. Setting up your camera
Configuration of the camera is done through its WebUI. To access the WebUI, connect the camera to your PC by
Ethernet cable and make sure your PC belongs to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
1. Type http://192.168.1.10 into your internet browser’s address field in order to reach the camera’s WebUI.
2. Go to Maintenance tab.
3. Under Network setting change Default gateway to router’s IP address (192.168.1.1) and press Save.
4. Go to Advanced settings tab.
5. It is recommended to lower streaming Bit rate from the default value to 1000 Kbps. Press Save to apply new
settings. While 1000 Kbps is a good place to start it should be tuned to suite your network conditions.
7. Setting up your router
The router is able to transmit camera‘s data with the default settings but to be able to access the camera remotely a
DMZ rule has to be configured. Configuration of the router is done through its WebUI. To access WebUI connect the
router to your PC by Ethernet cable and make sure your PC belongs to 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
1. Type http://192.168.1.1 into your internet browser’s address field in order to reach the router‘s WebUI.
2. Login to the device with username admin and password admin01.
3. Click on Network menu and open 3G tab.
4. Type APN and authorization parameters (if required). Please note, that your SIM with public IP address is
required. Press Save to apply new settings.

6
5. Click on Network menu and open Firewall tab.
6. Enable DMZ and type camera‘s IP address (192.168.1.10). Press Save to apply new settings.
7. Click on Status menu and open Network Information tab.
8. Check WAN section to find out public IP address (IPv4 address) of the router. Use this IP address to access the
camera.
7.1. Dynamic IP
Router has Dynamic DNS function if your operator provides only dynamic public IP address.
1. Click on Services menu and open Dynamic DNS tab.
2. Enable Dynamic DNS and fill in the settings. Press Save to apply the changes.

7.2. OpenVPN
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. OpenVPN client
configuration can be used to overcome the situation when your operator does not provide public IP address.
OpenVPN server should be set up on the PC with public IP address. OpenVPN installer can be obtained from
http://openvpn.net/index.php/download.html.
Please refer to RUT500 user manual for configuration of OpenVPN client. Some important configuration keys:
Remote host IP address IP address of OpenVPN server (your PC).
Local tunnel endpoint IP address of virtual local network interface (applicable only for point to point
connections).
After OpenVPN connection is established there are two ways to access the camera: camera’s IP address (192.168.1.10)
or local tunnel endpoint can be used. Using camera’s IP address has the advantage that it does not require DMZ to be
configured on the router.
8. Connecting camera to the router
After the camera and the router are both set up they need to be connected.
1. Supply power to the camera by USB cable or DC connector
2. Supply power to the router
3. Using Ethernet cable connect the camera to any of the router’s LAN ports
After the router has powered up and 3G IP is acquired you can access the camera’s WebUI or view RTSP stream from
your remote PC.
