Network Setup 

Use this section to configure the network connections for your camera. All relevant information must be entered accurately. After 

making any changes, click the Save Settings button to save your changes. 

LAN Settings: 

DHCP: 

Static IP Address: 

This section lets you configure settings for your local 

area network. 

Select this connection if you have a DHCP server 

running on your network and would like your camera 

to obtain an IP address automatically. 

You may obtain a static or fixed IP address and 

other network information from your network

Default Gateway: 

Primary DNS: 

Secondary DNS: 

This number is used to determine if the destination 

is in the same subnet. The default value is 

255.255.255.0. 

The gateway used to forward frames to destinations 

in a different subnet. Invalid gateway settings may 

cause the failure of transmissions to a different 

subnet. 

The primary domain name server translates names 

to IP addresses. 

The secondary DNS acts as a backup to the primary 

DNS. 


24

Configuration 

Enable UPnP: 

Enable UPnP Port Forwarding: 

Enabling this setting allows your camera to be 

configured as a UPnP device on your network. 

Enabling this setting allows the camera to add port 

forwarding entries into the router automatically on a 

UPnP capable network. 

Enable PPPoE: 

Enable this setting if your network uses PPPoE. 

User Name / Password: 

Enter the username and password for your PPPoE 

account. Re-enter your password in the Confirm 

Password field. You may obtain this information 

from your ISP. 

HTTP Port: 

The default port number is 80. 

Access Name for Stream 1~3: 

HTTPS Port: 

RTSP Port: 

The default name is video#.mjpg, where # is the 

number of the stream. 

You may use a PC with a secure browser to 

connect to the HTTPS port of the camera. The 

default port number is 443. 

The port number that you use for RTSP streaming 

to mobile devices, such as mobile phones or PDAs. 

The default port number is 554. You may specify the 

address of a particular stream. For instance, live1. 

sdp can be accessed at rtsp://x.x.x.x/video1.sdp 

where the x.x.x.x represents the ip address of your 

camera. 


25

Configuration 

Maximum Upload/Download 

Bandwidth: 

Specifying the maximum download/upload bandwidth 

for each socket can be useful when connecting your 

device to a busy or heavily loaded network. Entering 

a value of '0' indicates that the camera should not 

monitor bandwidth. Specifying other values will limit 

the camera's transfer speed to the specified number 

of kilobytes per second.

changes, click the Save Settings button to save your changes. 

Number of active profiles: 

Aspect ratio: 

Mode: 

Frame size / View window 

area: 

Maximum frame rate: 

You can use the dropdown box to set up to 3 active 

profiles. 

Set the aspect ratio of the video to 4:3 standard or 

16:9 widescreen. 

Set the video codec to be used to JPEG, MPEG-4, 

or H.264. 

Frame size determines the total capture resolution, 

and View window area determines the Live Video 

viewing window size. If the Frame size is larger than 

the Live Video size, you can use the ePTZ controls 

to look around. 

16:9 1920x1080, 1280x720, 800x450, 

640x360, 480x270, 320x176, 176x144 

4:3 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, 480x 360, 

320x240, 176x144 

Note: If your View window area is the same as your 

Frame size, you will not be able to use the ePTZ 

function. 

A higher frame rate provides smoother motion for 

videos, and requires more bandwidth. Lower frame 

rates will result in stuttering motion, and requires 

less bandwidth. 


32

Configuration 

Video Quality: 

Constant bit rate: 

Fixed quality: 

This limits the maximum frame rate, which can be 

combined with the "Fixed quality" option to optimize 

the bandwidth utilization and video quality. If fixed 

bandwidth utilization is desired regardless of the 

video quality, choose "Constant bit rate" and select 

the desired bandwidth. 

The bps will affect the bit rate of the video recorded 

by the camera. Higher bit rates result in higher 

video quality. 

Select the image quality level for the camera to 

try to maintain. High quality levels will result in 

increased bit rates. 

Audio in off: 

Ticking this checkbox will mute incoming audio. 

Audio in gain level: 

This setting controls the amount of gain applied to 

incoming audio to increase its volume. 

Audio out off: 

Ticking this checkbox will mute outgoing audio. 

Audio out volume level: 

This setting controls the amount of gain applied to 

outgoing audio to increase its volume. 


33

Configuration 

Preset 

This screen allows you to set preset points for the ePTZ function of the camera, which allows you to look around the camera's viewable 

area by using a zoomed view. Presets allow you to quickly go to and view a specific part of the area your camera is covering, and you 

can create preset sequences, which will automatically change the camera's view between the different presets according to a defined 

order and timing you can set. 

Note: If your View window area is the same as your Frame size, you will not be able to use the ePTZ function. For more details, refer to 

"Audio and Video" on page 32.

Configuration 

Application 

In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-2230 Network Camera sends images to a FTP server or via e-mail as 

notifications. As shown in the illustration below, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external 

digital input devices. When an event is triggered, a specified action will be performed. You can configure the Network Camera to send 

snapshots or videos to your e-mail address or FTP site. 

Event Condition 

Action 

ex. 

Motion detection, 

Periodically, Digital input, 

System reboot 

Media 

(what to send) 

ex. 

Snapshot, Video Clips 

Server 

(where to send) 

ex. 

Email, FTP 

To start plotting an event, it is suggested to configure server and media columns first so that the Network Camera will know what action 

shall be performed when a trigger is activated.

Digital Input/Output 

This screen allows you to control the behavior of digital input and digital output devices. The I/O connector provides the physical 

interface for digital output (DO) and digital input (DI) that is used for connecting a variety of external alarm devices such as IR-Sensors 

and alarm relays. The digital input is used for connecting external alarm devices and once triggered images will be taken and e-mailed. 

After making any changes, click the Save Settings button to save your changes. 

Select D/I or D/O Mode: 

LED: 

The camera will send a signal when an event is 

triggered, depending upon the type of device connected 

to the DI circuit. 

N.C. stands for Normally Closed. This means that 

the normal state of the circuit is closed. Therefore 

events are triggered when the device status changes 

to "Open." 

N.O. stands for Normally Open. This means that the 

normal state of the circuit is open. Therefore events 

are triggered when the device status changes to 

"Closed." 

You may specify whether or not to illuminate the LED 

on the side of the camera.
