Select the motion detection window that will be used to trigger motion
detection. Note: You must first create motion detection windows in the
Web configuration page of the camera. Remember the names of the
windows and the order in which you created them, as they are not
displayed inside the scheduler. Instead, they are listed in the order
they were added. For example, the first window created is labeled
“Window1.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Internet Camera Features
Q: What is an Internet Camera?
A:
The Internet Camera is a stand alone system connecting directly to an
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.
It differs from a conventional PC Camera,
the Internet Camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and Web-based
solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images
for monitoring. The Internet Camera can be managed remotely, accessed and
controlled from any PC/Notebook over an Intranet or the Internet from a Web
browser.
Q
:
What is the maximum number of users that can be allowed to access
DCS-5300G simultaneously?
A:
The maximum number of users that can log onto the Internet Camera at the
same time is 10. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission
speed will slow down when many users are logged on.
Q
:
What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?
A:
The Internet Camera utilizes H.263+ MPEG-4 Short Header Mode image
compression technology to provide high quality images.
Q:
Can I capture still images from the Internet Camera?
A:
Yes you are able to capture still images with the snapshot function from the
software application CD supplied with the Internet Camera.
Internet Camera Installation
Q:
Can the Internet Camera be used outdoors?
A:
The Internet Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a
weatherproof case to be used outdoors and it is not recommended.
Q
:
When physically connecting the Internet Camera to a network what
network cabling is required?
A:
The Internet Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and
100 Base-T networking.

Q:
Can the Internet Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?
A:
No, the
DCS-5300G
Internet Camera is used only on an wireless 802.11g,
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The D-Link DSB-C110, DSB-C310 can be
used as a PC Camera (Webcam).
Q
:
Can the DCS-5300G be connected to the network if it consists of only
private IP addresses?
A:
Yes, the Internet Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP
addresses.
Q:
Can the DCS-5300G be installed and work if a firewall exists on the
network?
A:
If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data
communication. The
DCS-5300G
uses port 5001 for control and
synchronization, port 5002 for streaming audio and port 5003 for streaming
video.
These ports (or the ports you specify from the
Advanced
Tab in the
Configuration screen if you change the default ports) need to be opened on the
firewall. See page 28 for more information.
Q:
Why am I unable to access the DCS-5300G from a Web browser?
A1:
If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the
DCS-5300G
may not be configured on the router or firewall. To correct the
problem, you
need to determine if the
DCS-5300G
is behind a router or firewall
and if the router or firewall is properly configured for the ports the
DCS-5300G
is using. Refer to Page 28 for help in opening the correct ports on a router or
firewall for use with the
DCS-5300G
.
A2:
Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing
your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a
local computer to the unit, utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is
not solved the Internet Camera might be faulty.
Q:
Why does the Internet Camera work locally but not externally?
A1:
This might be caused by
network firewall protection. The firewall may need
to have some settings changed in order for the Internet Camera to be accessible
outside your local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your network.
A2:
Make sure that the Internet Camera isn’t conflicting with any Web server
you may have running on your network.
A3:
The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the
configuration of the router settings allow the Internet Camera to be accessed
outside your local LAN. See page 28 for more information.

Q: The focus on the Internet Camera is bad, how can I correct it?
A1:
Adjust the Internet Camera focus manually as described in
Adjusting the
Internet Camera Focus
in the Appendix section (page 136) of this manual.
Q:
Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?
A:
The video images might be noisy if the Internet Camera is used in a very low
light environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
Q: I connected the Internet Camera directly to a computer with a cross-
over cable Ethernet cable and received the following Windows error upon
running the Installation Wizard:
A1:
This Windows error will occur if the Internet Camera is connected to a
computer that is not properly configured with a valid IP address.
Turn off DHCP
from the Network Settings in Windows and configure the computer with a valid
IP address or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled.
A2:
This error can also occur if the
Installation Wizard
icon is clicked on more
than once from the setup wizard.
Q:
The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image
quality?
A1:
Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors.
Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the
image, making the image appear to be of poor quality.
A2:
The configuration on the Internet Camera image display is incorrect. Through
the
Advanced>Image Setting
section of the Web management you need to
adjust the image related parameters
such as brightness, contrast, hue and
power line frequency for fluorescent light . Please refer to the
Advanced>Image
Setting
section on Page 50 and 51 for detailed information.

How to PING Your IP Address
The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine whether a specific
IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting
for a reply. It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address
conflicts with Internet Camera over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING command but first
you must disconnect Internet Camera from the network.
Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet Camera.
The replies, as illustrated below, will help diagnose any connection problems.
