Considerations
Camera View Coverage
The camera is designed to capture human activities in a near-hemispheric field of view, at a
place such as a cashier or bank counter. Due to the optical characteristics of wide-angle lens,
image quality decreases as distance from an object increases. It is therefore recommended
to install the camera within 3 meters or closer to the objects of your interest. The focus center
should also be aligned with objects of importance, say, human faces.

Network Deployment
Setting up the Network Camera over the Internet
There are several ways to set up the Network Camera over the Internet. The rst way is to set
up the Network Camera behind a router. The second way is to utilize a static IP. The third way is
using PPPoE.
Internet connection via a router
Before enabling the access to the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a
router and follow the steps below.
1. Connect your Network Camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated below.
Regarding how to obtain your IP address, please refer to Software Installation on page 14 for
details.
2. In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is
192.168.0.3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router.
■ Secondary HTTP port: 8080
■ RTSP port: 554
■ RTP port for audio: 5558
■ RTCP port for audio: 5559
■ RTP port for video: 5556
■ RTCP port for video: 5557
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports
accordingly on your router. For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer
to your router’s documentation.
3. Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the
Internet. Please refer to Network Type on page 55 for details.
