What is the bandwidth requirement for an IP Device connection?

In WAN, as long as the bandwidth is not enough, it will drop frames.
Based on GOP and actual image sizes, there is no recommended bandwidth.
On Video Setting, suggest setting up CBR in order to select an appropriate Video Bitrates.

NOTE︰
No matter with a web browser or a mobile phone that connects to Streaming1 or Streaming2, the connection limit is based on each model. And, each connection shares the bandwidth.
H.264 IP CAM︰the connection limit is 10.
JPEG video format︰Require at least 30KB/second. There is no CBR Setting with JPEG mode.
What's DHCP?
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a set of rules used by communications devices such as a computer, router or network adapter to allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a sever which has a list of addresses available for assignment.

DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to a second client while the first client's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired). Thus IP address pool management is done by the server and not by a human network administrator. ---by http://en.wikipedia.org
How to use NTP?
  1. Build the IP Device in WAN with a real IP.
  2. Enable NTP, then it will adjust the time automatically.
Firmware Update Steps.
Firmware Update Steps︰ 
Access IP Device Configure → System Update → Firmware Update, then browse and upgrade firmware.
NOTE︰
 
  1. With incomplete firmware or unstable network connection, it will damage the IP Device.
  2. Do not turn off the IP Device during firmware upgrade procedure. The procedure time might take 1 or 2 minutes.
IP Installer cannot search the IP Device or it cannot connect with the IP Device thru the web browser.
  1. Set the IP Device with DHCP. After the IP Device gets a DHCP IP, use IP Installer to search it again. Then, just assign it with a static IP manually.
  2. Or use Cross Over to connect the IP Device with PC in order to exclude network environment issues.
  3. In WAN, confirm Router’s Web Page Port is enabled and corresponding to the IP Device’s.
  4. In LAN, if IP Installer can search the IP Device, but it cannot be connected thru the web browser, make sure the first 3 sections of the IP Device IP Address and PC IP Address must be the same.
For example,
IP Device IP Address︰192.168.30.X
IP Device Gateway︰192.168.30.254
PC IP Address: 192.168.30.X

NOTE︰ 
If IP Installer still cannot search the IP Device thru Cross Over, it might be hardware broken.

 
Enable DDNS with PPPoE connection; however, the connection is not stable.
When the remote connection is via a router or an IP sharing device, recommend using the router’s or the IP sharing device’s DDNS function.
 
Reasons：
 
The IP Device cannot update the actual (updated) IP in time.
Please note that the hostname will be blocked by DynDNS.org if schedule update is more than once every 5 minutes to 60 minutes. In general, schedule update in every 1440 minutes is recommended.
The steps to enable the router’s DDNS function：
 
IP Device：Disable DDNS function.
Router：Enable DDNS function. e.g. Use DynDns.org. Must apply a DynDns account first, and then on DDNS setup just input Hostname, Username, and Password.
NOTE： 
If there is more than one IP Device, the router must assign port forwarding.
And, input the IP Device’s web page port in the end of DDNS URL manually.
 
How to set up DDNS?
  1. Build an IP Device in WAN with a real IP.
  2. On IP Setting, set up DNS 0 and DNS 1.
  3. Enable DDNS function.
    (1). Use ddns.camddns.com︰After register successfully, it will show 
    DDNS URL.
    e.g. http://hunt.ddns.camddns.com
    (2). Use dyndns.org︰Must apply a DynDns account first, and then on DDNS setup just input Hostname, Username, and Password.
NOTE： 
When the remote connection is via a router or an IP sharing device, recommend using the router’s or the IP Sharing device’s DDNS function.
If there is more than one IP Device, the router must assign port forwarding.
And, input the IP Device’s web page port in the end of DDNS URL manually.
e.g. http://hunt.dyndns.org:81
Wireless signal is not stable.
Confirm Signal Strength︰Access IP Device Configure → Wireless Setting → Status of Wireless Network → Signal Strength

When Signal Strength is lower than 50,
  1. Replace by an antenna with higher signal strength.
  2. Consider the distance and the environment (buildings).
  3. Recommend installing a router with higher signal strength.
Wireless setting setup is with Ad-hoc mode.
  1. Enable a notebook’s wireless connection and set up with a static IP.
  2. Connect the power adapter to the IP Device and the Ethernet cable that is between the IP Device and the notebook.
  3. Use IP Installer to set up the IP Device with a Static IP.
  4. Use IP Installer again to search the IP Device with a new static IP and click it to remote monitor the IP Device thru the web browser.
  5. IP Device Configure → Wireless Setting： 
    Mode：Ad-hoc
    Operation Mode：Auto
    SSID：e.g. Default
    Channel：e.g. 6 
    Security：e.g. WEP (this must be corresponding to Router setup).
  6. After finish Wireless Setting, click Apply.
  7. Unplug the Ethernet cable between the IP Device and the notebook.
    Note：Wired and Wireless Network uses the same IP. In order to enable wireless connection, must unplug the Ethernet cable.
  8. Use IP Installer again to search the IP Device’s IP and click it to remote monitor the IP Device thru the web browser.
Wireless setting setup is with Infrastructure mode.
  1. Enable a notebook’s wireless connection and set up with a static IP.
  2. Connect the power adapter to the IP Device and the Ethernet cable that is between the IP Device and the notebook.
  3. Use IP Installer to set up the IP Device with a Static IP.
  4. Use IP Installer again to search the IP Device with a new static IP and click it to remote monitor the IP Device thru the web browser.
  5. IP Device Configure → Wireless Setting︰ 
    Mode︰Infrastructure
    Operation Mode︰Auto
    SSID︰e.g. Default
    Security︰e.g. WPA-PSK (this must be corresponding to Router setup).

    WPA-PSK Setting︰ 
    Encryption︰TKIP
    Pre-Shared Key︰(Refer to WPA Shared Key on Router)
  6. After finish Wireless Setting, click Apply.
  7. Unplug the Ethernet cable between the IP Device and the notebook.
    Note：Wired and Wireless Network uses the same IP. In order to enable wireless connection, must unplug the Ethernet cable.
  8. Use IP Installer again to search the IP Device’s IP and click it to remote monitor the IP Device thru the web browser.
