Section 3 - Configuration

If you have a DSL or Cable service provider that changes your modem IP

address periodically, Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service), a method

of keeping a domain name linked to a dynamic IP address, is useful.

With most Cable and DSL connections, you are assigned a dynamic IP

address and that address is used only for the duration of that specific

connection. With the DCS-1130, you can set up your DDNS service and

the DCS-1130 will automatically update your DDNS server every time it

receives a different IP address. Depending on the service, this update

may take a few hours.

Enable DDNS:

Check this checkbox to enable the DDNS function of the

camera.

Server Address:

Use the dropdown box on the right to select a DDNS

service.

Host Name:

Type in the Host Name of the DDNS service.

User Name:

Enter your User Name for the DDNS service.

Password:

Enter the password for the DDNS service.

Verify Password:

Retype the password for the DDNS service.

Timeout:

This sets the number of hours between DDNS updates.

Setup > Audio and Video

Encode Type

: This sets the video codec used for the video stream. You

can choose MPEG-4 or MJPEG (JPEG). Internet Explorer browsers can

view both MPEG-4 and MJPEG video streams, and non-IE browsers can

only view MJPEG video streams.

Resolution

: This sets the display resolution of the video stream. If the

Resolution is different than the Sensor Output size, the video will be

shrunken or enlarged to the Resolution size you set here.

FPS

: This sets the target number of frames per second (FPS) for the

video stream. Higher frame rates will provide smoother video.

bps

: This sets the target bitrate of the video stream. Higher bitrates will

provide better quality video. When the Encode Type is set to MJPEG, you

cannot change the bps setting. Also, available bps settings may change

depending on what the Encode Type, Sensor Output, Resolution, and

FPS settings are set to.

JPEG Quality

: This sets the JPEG quality of any manual snapshots you take when this video profile is selected

RTSP URL

: This setting allows you to set a suffix for your camera’s RTSP URL so you can view your camera’s video

with this video profile’s settings. For example, if you enter “mpeg4” as your RTSP URL setting and your camera’s IP

is 192.160.0.20, you can view your camera’s video with these settings through 192.160.0.20/mpeg4.

You may configure four video profiles with different settings for your camera. You may also set up different profiles for

your computer and mobile display. In addition, you may configure the audio (speakers and microphone) settings for

your camera.

Note

: Video Profile 3 is always set to MJPEG as the Encode Type to

ensure that at least one of the Video Profiles are viewable by non-IE

browsers. Video Profile 4 is for mobile devices only, and always uses

MPEG-4 as the Encode Type.

Enable Night Mode

: Check this box to enable Night Mode. Night mode

allows the camera to use a longer shutter speed when the camera is in a

low-light environment. If the camera is in an area where there is sufficient

lighting, Night Mode will not affect the video stream.

Shutter

: This sets the longest shutter speed Night Mode will use when

Night Mode is enabled and the camera is viewing a low-light scene.

Light Source

: Here you can set the kind of lighting used in the area your

camera is monitoring to improve the image quality of the video.

Enable Microphone

: Checking this box will enable you to listen to audio

picked up by the camera’s microphone. This will allow you to hear what

is happening near your camera.

Volume

: This sets the volume level of the incoming audio.

Note

: Higher frame size, frame rate and bit rates will give you better video

quality, but they will also require more network bandwidth. For best viewing

results on a mobile phone, we suggest setting the frame rate to 5 fps and

bit rate to 20 Kbps.
