Configuring Advanced Camera Settings
This section explains how to configure the advanced settings for the PVC300 PTZ
Internet Camera. It is composed of the following five areas;
HTTP
,
FTP
,
HTTPS
,
SIP
,
and
RTP/RTSP
.
HTTP
Authentication
—Depending on your network security requirements, the PVC300
PTZ Internet Camera provides two types of security settings for a HTTP
transaction: basic and digest. If basic authentication is selected, the password is
sent in plain text format; there can be potential risks of being intercepted. If digest
authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted in MD5 algorithm and
thus provide better protection against unauthorized accesses.
HTTP port / Secondary HTTP port
—By default, the HTTP port is set to 80 and the
secondary HTTP port is set to 8080. They can also be assigned another port
number between 1024 and 65535. If the ports are incorrectly assigned, the
following warning messages are displayed:
To access the PVC300 PTZ Internet Camera within a LAN, both the HTTP port and
secondary HTTP port can be used to access the camera. For example, when the
HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to 8080, refer to the
following example for the PVC300 PTZ Internet Camera’s IP address.
In a LAN—
or
Access name for stream 1 / Access name for stream 2
: The access name is used
to differentiate the streaming source. This is useful when you need to use Mozilla
Firefox or Netscape to access the PVC300 PTZ Internet Camera. If the video mode
is set to JPEG, you will receive continuous JPEG pictures.
This technology, known as “server push”, allows the PVC300 PTZ Internet Camera
to feed live pictures to Mozilla Firefox and Netscape. Use the following format:
http://
<ip address>
/cgi-bin/viewer/<access name such as
