IP Address Subnet Gateway The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Connecting the NVR to a network Assigning an IP address Control Panel Network connections Local Area Properties
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Connecting the NVR to a network General Network communication Step By Step • Appl w running on ip 2 listens on port 5000 • Appl x running on ip 1 wants to communicate with Appl w • Appl x connects to ip 2 port 5000 • Appl w accepts. • Communication channel is established. • Appl w and Appl x can communicate. Server Client Appl x Appl z Appl y Appl w 5000 IP 1 IP 2
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Connecting the NVR to a network WebCCTV Network communication Step By Step • WebCCTV server runs a web server application (port 80) and a video-server application (port 1518 and ports 4096-4224) • Internet Explorer (IE) wants to communicate with WebCCTV Server • IE gets a webpage from web server application and ActiveX in webpage gets images from video server application. WebCCTV Server WebCCTV Client Internet Explorer Web 80 Video 4096 - 4224 1518 IP 1 IP 2
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Client Configuration Same IP Subnet • In 90% of cases subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 • i.e. IP of WebCCTV = 192.168.100.50 then IP of Client PC must be 192.168.100.x where x is between 0 and 255 except 50 • E.g. 192.168.100.240 belongs to the same group as 192.168.100.50 Reachable via gateway • If IP of WebCCTV NVR is not within subnet :i.e. 192.168.200.56 a gateway must be defined in the Client PC.
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Connection test ‘Ping’ command is a very important test = ‘ECHO’ Its results tell you immediately where the problem could be, if any e.g. IP of Client 192.168.222.251 & WebCCTV NVR 192.168.222.2 • 3 situations : • The other side answers = there is correct network communication possible
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Connection test • The other side doesn’t answers = there is no correct network communication possible.‘Request timed out’ = on the same subnet but no answer • The other side is not reachable = there is no correct network communication possible.‘Destination host unreachable’ = not on the same subnet and no gateway defined
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Minimum Client PC Requirements Operating System • Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 • Windows XP Hardware • Intel Pentium III 1000 MHz or higher (decompressing video needs) • 128 MB RAM • 16 MB RAM on video-card Software • Internet Explorer 6 • DirectX 9.0b • Windows Media player 9 or higher
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Remote Client test Internet Explorer 6 At first connection, a viewing component (ActiveX technology) has to be installed on the client PC.If not installed correctly (needs Administrative rights), the WebCCTV application will not run properly.
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Client Configuration Internet Explorer 6 settings • Basic Rule : Allow Internet Explorer the installation and execution of signed ActiveX controls and Administrative rights at first visit • Two approaches : • Easiest & safest : Consider the WebCCTV NVR IP address as a trusted site.Menu Tools Internet Options Security Trusted Sites • Change the overall security to allow signed ActiveX installationMenu Tools Internet Options Security Custom Level
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Client Configuration Internet Explorer 6 settings • Easiest approach : • Consider the WebCCTV NVR IP address as a trusted site.Menu Tools Internet Options Security Trusted Sites
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Technology • Microsoft • Only Internet Explorer • Usable in many environments : Web pages, Visual Basic, C++ (i.e. WebCCTV Software Development Kit) Installation • Administrative rights (only First time !) • Security settings Internet Explorer • Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware programs Removal • C:\windows\downloaded program files\ • WebCCTV3 Network Client Class
The WebCCTV NVR in a local network • Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Client Configuration Video Hardware acceleration = FULL Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software • Allow WebCCTV ActiveX to install and execute • Allow scripts to execute Personal Firewall software • Allow outgoing connections Control Panel Display Settings Advanced Troubleshooting
