Network Camera

Showing examples of how to connect two Network Cameras on the LAN and display a Multi-Camera screen.

Assign the IP address and the port number to each device as below.

* Ask your network administrator when you set up an IP address.

You need to perform the following setup when viewing a Multi-Camera screen (motion images) from both LAN and WAN sides.
Set up as below: Cam1--WAN side Cam2--LAN side

• Use xDSL (PPPoE), and assign a global IP address for WAN side.
• Using a Broadband Router which is finished with the network setup.
• Connection type : Use an Ethernet switching hub and connect two Network Cameras (KX-HCM10)and one PC to it.

Assuming the above conditions in explaining.
This following case is confirmed just under OUR environments, so when viewing your display a Multi-Camera screen, set up YOUR network environment.

• Opening Setup Page and set up Port Forwarding to broadband router.

1. Select "Use" at "IP Masquerade" on Additional Setup
2. Set up each parameter for cam1
   
   • Select "Enable" at "Entry".
   • Select "TCP&UDP" at "Protocol".
   • Enter a port number of cam1 at "Forwarding Port".
     Do not use the well-known ports.
     Example: cam1--10001/ cam1--10002 etc.
   • Enter an IP address of cam1 at "Forwarding IP Address".
     Example : cam1---www.xxx.yyy.100 / cam2---www.xxx.yyy.200
   • Click "Save".
3. Set up each parameter for cam2
   

   

   
   The setup window of Broadband Router

Set up cam1 for access from WAN side

• Open cam1 setup window and set up network parameters for cam2.
  Set up "Private IP address", "Subnet mask", "DNS server address" etc. Specify a port number expect for the well-known ports(*).
  
  • "Port number" -> "10001"
  • "Subnet mask" -> " ***.***.***.*** "
  • "Default Gateway" -> LAN side address of Broadband Router
  • DNS server address -> follow your ISP's instruction.

  Parameters except for your port number and the IP address are displayed at "Status" on the setup window on Broadband Router. xDSL connection is displayed at the bottom of the window. Follow the instruction of your router.

  • * Well-known ports are the port numbers that are used in major protocols of TCP/IP. The following numbers are frequently-used : FTP---No. 20 and 21, SMTP---No. 25, DNS---No. 53, HTTP---No. 80, POP3---No. 110 Set up an unused port over No. 1023, as the well-known ports are usually found below the number of 1024.

  
  The network window for Network Camera "cam1"

• Open cam1 Setup Page and set up Multi-Camera screen on Multi-Camera window.
  Check the second Network Camera and set up a global IP address of broadband router and a port number of cam2 or host name and a port number for cam2, and Camera Name.
  
  • Second Network Camera -> Check
  • "IP address or Host name" -> "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:10002"
    

    (Global IP address)
    IP address is displayed at "Status" on the setup window on Broadband Router. xDSL connection is displayed at the bottom of the window. Follow the instruction of your router.

  • Camera Name-> "cam2"
