f.When prompted enter your username and password. NOTE: Log in as the root user if this is the first time logging in to the server.

g.Press Enter. If the correct root password was entered, the prompt responds with a shell prompt: [root@yourservername ~]#

When you are done, you should consider disabling SSH. The link to disable SSH is http://thinclientIP/DisableSSH.

Cannot connect to ONVIF-compliant camera because no ONVIF stream available

Issue

Network cameras/encoders supporting ONVIF do not offer a way to set up an ONVIF stream/profile necessary for making an ONVIF connection from the Thin Client to the ONVIF-compliant device.

Solution

If the camera manufacturer does not provide a method for setting up ONVIF streaming profiles, use a third-party tool to do so. One such open source tool is the ONVIF Device Manager: http://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/

Senstar Thin Client User Guide 2024

Device cannot connect to Video Source

Issue

The Thin Client cannot connect to Mobile Bridge, and you see an Invalid Video Source error when setting up or re-configuring the device as follows: “Unable to connect to video source. Please verify server address and credentials and try again.”

Solutions

• Ensure that the Symphony Mobile Bridge Server IP address, Port, and user credentials are correct.

• If a firewall or layer 3 switch is installed between the Thin Client and the Mobile Bridge Server and/or Symphony, ensure that the proper ports are forwarded and/or routed. See the Symphony Installation Guide and/or the Mobile Bridge Installation Guide for port information.

Camera views contain blank camera panels

Issue

Thin Client camera views contain one or more blank camera panels on the web interface and/or the HDMI output monitor.

Solution

The Thin Client can decode up to 1920×1080 at 30 FPS in H.264, MJPEG, or MPEG4. Ensure you have at least one (1) camera stream configured at this resolution or lower.

Note: Camera streams above 1920×1080 resolution cannot be decoded to the camera.

The Thin Client device automatically selects an appropriate video stream based on the resolution of the panel the video is being rendered in. Thin Client will select the stream with a resolution that most closely matches the panel’s resolution without exceeding it.

Therefore, it is recommended to have one (1) stream at 1920×1080 and another stream at 800×450 as the Thin Client will select the best stream automatically based on the camera view layout selected.

Cisco 2960-X and Catalyst SG300 switch with Thin Client

Issue

Thin Client is not connecting to cameras, not displaying cameras, not working properly on the network.

Reason

The network port is ‘flapping’ that is, going up and down constantly and so the Thin Client cannot connect.

Source of Problem: Cisco Switches

• (2960-X) and 2960 models

• Catalyst SG300 … (MPP)

The EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) feature on the switch is the source of the issue. See Cisco bug report here:

https://quickview.cloudapps.cisco.com/quickview/bug/CSCus35889

Resolution

Disable the EEE feature on the switch. This resolves the issue with the Thin Client.

Edges of the Displayed Image are Cropped

Symptoms:

The edges of the displayed video images are cropped.

Probable Cause:

It is likely that overscan is enabled on the displays being used. Overscan is the term used to describe the situation when not all of an image is present on a viewing screen. By default most TVs and monitors are set to use overscan to compensate for potential artifacts at the edge of the screen from the incoming signal.

Solution:

Turn off overscan on all the displays being used. The procedure for this varies depending on the product; therefore, consult the documentation for your particular model for complete instructions.

Device does not power on

Issue

When you attempt to power on the Thin Client by plugging it in to a PoE switch, and one or more of the following occurs:

• The device does not power on.

• The device LED, located on the front of the device, do not light up, and the device does not boot up.

• You are unable to reach the Thin Client web interface by the device’s IP address.

Solutions

• Verify that the device is connected to a PoE switch.

• Ensure that the PoE switch has not exceeded its maximum power budget

HDMI output is not working or is cut off

Issue

The Thin Client is not displaying HDMI output on the monitor.

– or –

HDMI television output is partially cut off.

Solutions

• It is recommended to use the HDMI cable supplied with the Thin Client. DVI/VGA/HDMI converters may not work.

• Ensure that the overscan feature is disabled when using an HDMI television. See the television documentation for details.

Upgrading from a version older than 1.2.1.515

If you have a Thin Client version older than 1.2.1.515 do NOT update directly to Thin Client 2.01.

You MUST update to 1.2.1.515 first and then to 2.0.1.

The version number is displayed in the top left of the Web interface and in the About section at the top of the Settings page.

Connection Fails, Unable to Retrieve Live Video: Thin Client 2.1.0 – Mobile Bridge

Example Scenario:

When you connect a Thin Client to a PSA, the Mobile Bridge is installed with default values. The entered IP address is localhost or 127.0.0.1.

Issue:

Thin Client tries to retrieve live video and the connection fails.

Solution:

During Mobile Bridge setup, you must enter a unique IP address when Mobile Bridge is installed on the same machine as the Symphony Server. Do NOT enter 127.0.01 or localhost during the Mobile Bridge setup because the Thin Client will NOT be able to retrieve video via that Mobile Bridge.

Example:

Cannot Log into Thin Client Using Chinese Characters

Applies to Thin Client v2.0.0 and 2.0.1

Issue:

User tries but fails to log into Thin Client using Chinese characters in username or password.

Solution:

To set up your Thin Client so that users can log into the Thin Client using Chinese characters, you must modify Thin Client settings using the settings.sh script.

1.Enable SSH in Thin Client and log into SSH using PuTTy (Windows) or SSH (Linux).

2.Run the following command:

3.>/settings.sh MBCodepage 936

5.Note: If 936 (Simplified Chinese) does not work, try 950 (Traditional Chinese) >/settings.sh MBCodepage 950

6.Run the following command:

7.>/settings.sh MBCodepage

Note: To ensure settings are updated, it should print to screen, MBCodepage|936 or MBCodepage|950

If you run Mobile Bridge version 2.1.6 or newer, the code page is printed on start. Search for “Current encoding” in Mobile Bridge log:

Current encoding: xxxxx codepage: yyyyy

Thin Client 2.1.0 – Wrong time displayed in video decoration when connecting to cameras via Mobile Bridge

Issue:

When you connect to cameras via Mobile Bridge and you manually change the time in the Thin Client web interface, the time does NOT change on the video decoration. The time decoration in the video is always the time of the server to which the camera is connected.

Cause:

Thin Client converts the Symphony Server’s Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to local time and displays it in the video decoration. The time decoration therefore is not affected by local system time.

Reason:

This is necessary because of historical video, which must show the converted time from the server.

Important: If the time is changed when connecting directly to the camera, the updated time is displayed in the video decoration.

Touch Screen Monitor Not Working with Thin Client

Problem:

Touch screen monitor does not work with the Thin Client.

Issue:

The touch screen monitor must be on before powering on the Thin Client.

Resolution:

Ensure your monitor is on and restart the Thin Client.

Add Axis cameras with dewarped panoramic view to Thin Client devices

To see the video from an Axis fisheye camera in a dewarped panoramic view, you must manually add the camera using a direct connection with an RTSP URL.

1.On the camera, select the stream profile setting (for example, panorama), choose the resolution (for example, 1600×600), and select Mirror if required. For more information, see https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ115871.

2.On the Thin Client device, manually add the camera using the following RTSP URL:

3.rtsp://ip_address/axis-media/media.amp?camera=profile_id2&resolution=resolution

Where ip_address is the IP address of the camera, profile_id is the stream profile setting for the camera, and resolution is the resolution of the camera.

Stream profile settings:

• Camera=1 Overview

• Camera=2 Panorama

• Camera=3 Double Panorama

• Camera=4 Quad View

• Camera=5 View Area 1

• Camera=6 View Area 2

• Camera=7 View Area 3

• Camera=8 View Area 4

Thin Clients do not display video when connecting through Mobile Bridge

Symptoms

Thin Clients do not display video when connecting to Symphony using Mobile Bridge.

Probable cause

The Thin Clients are using TLS 1.0 and the Mobile Bridge is using TLS 1.2.

Solution

Configure the Thin Clients to use TLS 1.0.

1.On the server that host the Mobile Bridge, close all browser windows.

2.Click Start.

3.Type regedit and press Enter.

4.Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols.

How to Connect Device and Computer to Same Network

admin — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 15:07:19 +0000

How to Connect Device and Computer to Same Network, In order to access network devices from a computer, they both have to be connected on the same network. But how do you check that the settings are correct, and if they are not, how do we fix that? This article is based off of the assumption that the computer and the device are connected to the same router/network switch.

How can I make sure my device and computer are on the same network?

How to Connect Device and Computer to Same Network

In order to access network devices from a computer, they both have to be connected on the same network. But how do you check that the settings are correct, and if they are not, how do we fix that? This article is based off of the assumption that the computer and the device are connected to the same router/network switch.

Basic Explanation of the Network

Before we begin the steps on how to configure our network, we need to understand why we are doing it. Each device within a network has its own IP address – we will use 192.168.1.13 as an example – and its structure is like this:

The host ID will be different because that is what differentiates each device from one another. Within a network, the network prefix will be the same and so should the subnet ID, but there will be sometimes where it is different on a device. If the network prefixes and subnet IDs are the same for the devices, then that means they can all reach and communicate with each other. If either one of the two are different, then that means they are not connected and they cannot establish a connection with each other.

The purpose of this article is to make sure that the network prefix and the subnet ID are the same for the computer and your device so that you can create a connection and reach the device.

Checking the Network of the Computer and Your Device

The easiest and fastest way to check the network of your computer is to open up the command prompt. Open the Windows menu and type in “cmd” for command prompt.

Once the window is open, type in “ipconfig” and hit Enter. This will pull up the basic network information of your computer. Make note of the IPv4 address and the default gateway. Now that you have found the IP of the computer, please find the IP of your device – the method to obtaining the IP address might be different for each device.

As mentioned above, if the network prefix and the subnet ID are the same for both the computer and your device, then they will be able to communicate with each other. If they are different, then please follow the steps as below:

Changing the Network of Either the Computer or Your Device

The most simple solution to allow both devices to be on the same subnet is to edit the IP address of your device. Usually, you just need to disable DHCP and enable a static IP address. But this is not always possible depending on the set up. NOTE: The computer must be connected with Ethernet in order for this configuration to work. It will not work through Wi-Fi.

In order to change the network of your computer, you will need to go to the Network and Sharing Center.

On Windows 10 operating systems, it can be reached by either the Control Panel or from the Taskbar. In the Sharing Center you will be able to see all Connections the computer has. Click on the correct Ethernet connection.

After clicking on the Ethernet connection the Ethernet Status window will pop up. Click on Properties → double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). By default, your computer will be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically”, but we will want to change it to Use the following IP address. Remember in the steps above that we found out the IPv4 address of the computer through the command prompt. This is where it will come in handy again. When you select Use the following IP address the boxes below will become active. The information will be as follows:

IP address: IPv4 address of the computer
Subnet mask: if you hit Tab after inputting the IP address, the subnet mask should automatically be filled in
Default gateway: this information will be found from the command prompt as well

Once all of that information is filled out, click on Advanced in the bottom-right corner of the window, and it will open up the Advanced TCP/IP Settings where you will Add a new TCP/IP address. Please make sure the new TCP/IP address will match the subnet as the device you are trying to access, or else it will still not connect. NOTE: Please do not use the same IP address as the device. The Network Prefix and Subnet ID should be the same, but the Host ID should be different.

Adding the Subnet Mask can be easily done by hitting Tab after inputting the IP address because the fields will automatically be filled afterwards. Click Add after entering the correct information, and then just keep clicking okay until you are back at the Ethernet Status window. Then close the window.

You can check if the configuration was done properly by opening the command prompt and pinging the device’s IP address. You can do this with the prompt: ping IP address. For example: We are using the IP address 192.168.0.10 for the device. Enter the command prompt and type ping 192.168.0.10. If you receive a response, that means the configuration was done correctly, and you may now access your device.

Why can my device not be accessed through the IP address?

Sometimes you might try to log into your device through the IP address on a computer but it gives you an error (ie. “Cannot be reached”, “Cannot be found”). This can mean a few things:

the device is not connected to the network
the computer is not connected to the network
the device and network are not connected to the same network as each other
need to add http:// to the beginning of the URL (example: http://192.168.0.100)

If you are getting that error you can check to make sure all physical network connections are secure (network cables). Also check to make sure that the device and computer are in the same network because if they are not then the two will not be able to communicate with each other.

Why can’t I see my cameras on Google Chrome/Firefox or other web browsers?

In order to view the cameras on a web browser, it uses a web plugin. But they are usually not compatible with other browsers other than Internet Explorer. If you are unable to view or log into your cameras, please use Internet Explorer, download the plugins when prompted, and then allow the plugins to be enabled. Pop-ups will appear for all of these options.

TP-Link Pharos Series Installation Guide

admin — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 07:19:15 +0000

TP-Link Pharos Series Installation Guide, With a high transmit power and antenna gain, TP-Link Pharos Products are perfect for long-distance wireless connections. The communication distance ranges from several kilometers to dozens of kilometers depending on your product models.
You can use Pharos products in diversified network environments. This article introduces some common application scenarios, including Point to Point (PtP), Point to Multi-Point (PtMP) and Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), one of which may be similar to yours.

If you want to set up a Wi-Fi hotspot outdoors like in a plaza or farm, use Omada Outdoor EAPs instead, such as EAP225-Outdoor and EAP110-Outdoor. That’s because Omada outdoor EAPs are designed to provide wireless access for mobile terminals, while Pharos devices are more suitable for long-distance communications. However, if you still want to use Pharos Products in that scenario, refer to Device A in 1 Point to Point (PtP) to set up the device.

1Point to Point (PtP)

Figure 1-1PtP Application

The PtP application is to realize the communications between two isolated locations, such as two sites separated by a river, hill, railway, and so on. The wireless PtP link acts as a very long and invisible cable. It simplifies the network deployments because you do not need long-distance cabling between the two sides. To build a PtP link, you need two Pharos devices. We recommend that you configure one in AP Mode and the other in Client Mode.

Figure 1-1 shows a typical example of the PtP application: Bridging the internet connection from a downtown house to another house on a small island where no ISP provides internet access.

For the downtown house, there are already a modem and router together to provide internet access for computers and mobile terminals. Configure Device A to work in AP Mode and connect it to the LAN port of the router. In AP Mode, Device A creates a Wi-Fi signal to the designated area so that wireless clients can access the network after connecting to it.

For the house on the island, configure Device B to work in Client Mode and connect it to the SSID of Device A wirelessly. In Client Mode, Device B acts as a wireless adapter to receive the wireless signal from the remote root AP (Device A). Connect it to a router or indoor AP via Ethernet cables, then mobile terminals like laptops and mobile phones can access the internet by connecting to the SSID of the router or indoor AP.

TP-Link Pharos Series Installation Guide

2Point to Multi-Point (PtMP)

Figure 2-1PtMP Application

The PtMP application is often used when multiple sites need to connect to a remote center. The device at the remote center usually works in AP Mode and the others work in Client Mode. To cover all the Clients, the AP should have a wide enough beamwidth. A WBS device installed with a sector antenna is recommended.

Figure 2-1 shows a typical PtMP application. A company has three warehouses that are located far away from the head office. It plans to construct a PtMP link to realize remote monitoring of the warehouses from the head office.

To construct the PtMP link, for the head office, configure Device D to work in AP Mode and connect it to the switch that the Monitoring Host is connected to. For the warehouses, configure the Pharos devices to work in Client Mode. Connect them to the SSID of Device D wirelessly, and to the cameras via Ethernet cables. Then the four sites form a local area network and employees in the head office can monitor the warehouses in real time via the Monitoring Host.

3Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP)

Figure 3-1WISP Application

When providing internet service for some remote areas that have no wired internet access yet, ISPs usually choose a wireless solution instead of a wired solution to avoid cabling over long distances. The WISP application is often used in this kind of scenario. Figure 3-1 shows the network topology. As you can see, it is a combination of PtP and PtMP applications.

For this scenario, subscribers are often kilometers away from each other. Find a place that is approximately the center of the subscribers and suitable to install Pharos devices, and mark it as Site 2. Then find the nearest location to Site 2 that has internet access, and mark it as Site 1.

Deployment of the PtP Link

The PtP link is to realize the long-distance wireless connection between Site 1 and Site 2.

For Site 1, deploy a device (Device 1) and configure it to work in AP Mode. Connect it to the existing network via Ethernet cables.

For Site 2, deploy a device (Device 2) and configure it to work in Client Mode. Then connect it to the SSID of Device 1 wirelessly so that it can communicate with Device 1.

Deployment of the PtMP Link

The PtMP link is the last mile of the internet connections to the subscribers.

For Site 2, deploy a device (Device 3) and configure it to work in AP Mode. Connect it to Device 2 via Ethernet cables. Device 3 is used to provide wireless coverage for the subscribers. As mentioned in 2 Point to Multi-Point (PtMP), a WBS device installed with a sector antenna is recommended. If Device 3 cannot cover all the subscribers, deploy more devices in different directions to achieve the goal.

For the devices at subscribers’ homes like Device 4 and Device 5, there are two configuration choices:

Choice 1: Client Mode

This is the most common use, and a Wi-Fi router is needed.

Configure the device (Device 4) to work in Client Mode. Connect it to the ISP’s network wirelessly, and to a Wi-Fi router via Ethernet cables. Computers and Mobile terminals can access the internet by connecting to the Wi-Fi router.

Choice 2: AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode

AP Client Router Mode is used in the following two scenarios:

■The ISP needs to have good control of user networks, like limiting the ingress and egress bandwidth of the user networks.

■The user has no Wi-Fi routers.

Configure the device (Device 5) to work in AP Client Router Mode and connect it to Device 3 wirelessly. In AP Client Router Mode, Device 5 acts as a wireless client in the ISP’s network and a wireless NAT router in the user network. Both wired and wireless terminals can access the internet after connecting to Device 5. No extra Wi-Fi router is needed, but there are some concerns to take into consideration.

■The installation position for Device 5 has more stringent requirements than that for Device 4 in Choice 1. In addition to ensuring that Device 5 can communicate with Device 3, you should also ensure that its wireless coverage range can cover the areas where the subscriber needs to access the internet.

■Mobile terminals that are far away from the Pharos device may fail to connect to the wireless network although they can scan it. This is because the mobile terminals are in the coverage range of the Pharos device, but the Pharos device is not in their range. For more details, refer to Why Does My Cellphone Fail to Connect to the Remote Outdoor Access Point?

Operation Modes

The Pharos series products support multiple operation modes to satisfy user’s diverse network requirements. This chapter introduces typical usage scenarios of different modes. For more information, refer to Common Applications for Pharos Products.

Management VLAN provides a safer way for you to manage the device. With Management VLAN enabled, only the hosts in the management VLAN can manage the device. Since most hosts cannot process VLAN tags, connect the management host to the network via a switch, and set up correct VLAN settings to ensure the communication between the host and the device in the management VLAN.

Go to the Network page. In the Management VLAN Interfaces section, enable the Management VLAN function, specify VLAN ID and click Apply. Then click Save.

Management Enable or disable the Management VLAN function. By default, it is disabled. VLAN

VLAN ID Specify the Management VLAN ID. The valid values are from 2 to 4094.

Configure the Forwarding Feature

Note:

Forwarding submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.

The IP address used on the internet is public IP address, while IP address used on local area network is private IP address. The hosts using private IP addresses cannot access the internet directly and vice versa.

The hosts using private IP addresses visit internet through NAT (Network Address Translation) technology. NAT can transfer private IP addresses into public IP addresses to realize the communication from internal hosts to external hosts.

If the hosts on the internet want to visit the hosts on local area network, the forwarding function should be used, including DMZ, Virtual server, Port triggering and UPnP.

Go to the Network page. In the Forwarding section, configure the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save.

Forwarding

DMZ: 0 Enable Q

DMZ IP: 10.0.0.0 |

ALG: 0 FTP ALG 0 TFTP ALG 0 H323 ALG 0 RTSP ALG 0 Virtual Server: □ Enable 0

Port Trigger: □ Enable

UPnP: □ Enable 0

DMZ Enable or disable the DMZ function. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) specifically allows one computer/device behind NAT to become “demilitarized”, so all packets from the external network are forwarded to this computer/device. The demilitarized host is exposed to the wide area network, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts.

DMZ IP Specify the IP address of the local host network device. The DMZ host device will be completely exposed to the external network. Any PC that was used for a DMZ must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function.

ALG Select the type of ALG to enable the corresponding feature. Common NAT only translates the address of packets at network layer and the port number at transport layer but cannot deal with the packets with embedded source/destination information in the application layer. Application layer gateway (ALG) can deal with protocols with embedded source/destination information in the application payload. Some protocols such as FTP, TFTP, H323 and RTSP require ALG (Application Layer Gateway) support to pass through NAT.

FTP ALG: Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

TFTP ALG: Allows TFTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.

H323 ALG: Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT.

RTSP ALG: Allows some media player clients to communicate with some streaming media servers across NAT.

Enable or disable Virtual Server. Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your local area network, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the internet to this service port will be redirected to the LAN server. Virtual Server function not only makes the users from internet visit the local area network, but also keeps network security within the intranet as other services are still invisible from internet. The LAN server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function.

Virtual Server

To configure Virtual Server:

Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.

IP: Enter the IP Address of the PC providing the service application.

Internal Port: Enter the Internal Port number of the PC running the service application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific port number.

Service Port: Enter the numbers of external Service Port. You can type a service port or a range of service ports (the format is XXX – YYY, XXX is the start port, YYY is the end port). Internet users send request to the port for services.

Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.

Enable or disable port trigger. Due to the existence of the firewall, some applications such as online games, video conferences, VoIPs and P2P downloads need the device to configure the forwarding to work properly, and these applications require multiple ports connection, for single-port virtual server cannot meet the demand. Port trigger function comes at this time. When an application initiates a connection to the trigger port, all the incoming ports will open for subsequent connections.

Port Trigger

To configure port trigger:

Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.

Incoming Port: Enter the incoming port for incoming traffic. The port or port range is used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response to one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with “,”. For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051,2085, 3010-3030.

Trigger Port: Enter the trigger port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will “Trigger” this rule.

Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.

Enable or disable UPnP. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable the UPnP function. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function allows the devices, such as internet computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. Host in the local area network can automatically open the corresponding ports on a router, and make the application of external host access the resources of the internal host through the opened ports. Therefore, the functions limited to the NAT can work properly. Compared to virtual server and port triggering, the application of UPnP doesn’t need manual settings. It is more convenient for some applications required unfixed ports.

UPnP

App Description: Displays the description provided by the application in the UPnP request.

External Port: Displays the external port number that the router opened for the service application.

Internal Port: Displays the internal service port number of the local host running the service application.

Protocol: Displays which type of protocol is opened.

IP Address: Displays the IP address of the local host which initiates the UPnP request.

Status: Enabled means that port is still active. Otherwise, the port is inactive.

Configure the Security Feature

Note:

Security submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) is a firewall that keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams, UDP communication) traveling across it. The firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection will be allowed to pass through by the firewall and others will be rejected. SPI Firewall is enabled by factory default.

Go to the Network page. In the Security > Basic section, configure the following parameters and click Apply.

SPI Firewall Check the Enable box to use the SPI Firewall function. If forwarding rules are enabled at the same time, the device will give priority to meet forwarding rules.

Ping Select and enable the ping forbidden function.

WAN Ping Forbidden: Enable or disable this function. With this option enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from internet. By default, it is disabled.

LAN Ping Forbidden: Enable or disable this function. With this option enabled, the device will not reply the ping request originates from local network.

VPN Select and enable the VPN function.

A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryptions. Through VPN you can access your private network over internet. A virtual private network connection across the internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between sites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available within the private network. When hosts in the local area network want to visit the remote virtual private network using virtual tunneling protocols, the corresponding VPN protocol should be enabled.

PPTP Passthrough: PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP (Internet Protocol) network. Check the box to allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the Device.

L2TP Passthrough: L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) is the method used to enable Point-to-Point connections via the internet on the Layer Two level. Check the box to allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the Device.

IPSec Passthrough: IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols for ensuring private, secure communications over IP (Internet Protocol) networks, through the use of cryptographic security services. Check the box to allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the Device.

2. In the Security > Advanced Settings section, configure the following parameters and click Apply.

DoS Protection Enable the DoS Protection and specify the parameters.

DoS (Denial of Service) Attack is to occupy the network bandwidth maliciously by the network attackers or the evil programs sending a lot of service requests to the Host, which incurs an abnormal service or even breakdown of the network. With DoS Protection function enabled, the device can analyze the specific fields of the IP packets and distinguish the malicious DoS attack packets. Upon detecting the packets, the device will discard the illegal packets directly and limit the transmission rate of the legal packets if the over legal packets may incur a breakdown of the network. The hosts sending these packets will be added into the Blocked DoS Host List. The device can defend a few types of DoS attack such as ICMP_FLOOD, UDP_FLOOD and TCP_SYN_ FLOOD.

Packets Statistics Interval: Select a value between 5 and 60 seconds from the drop-down list. The default value is 10. The value indicates the time interval of the packets statistics. The result of the statistic is used for analysis by ICMP-Flood, UDP Flood and TCP-SYN Flood.

ICMP_FLOOD Attack Filter: Enter a value between 5 and 3600. The default value is 50. When the current ICMP-FLOOD Packets number is beyond the set value, the device will start up the blocking function immediately.

UDP_FLOOD Attack Filter: Enter a value between 5 and 3600. The default value is 500. When the current UPD-FLOOD Packets number is beyond the set value, the device will start up the blocking function immediately.

Configure Static Routing

Note:

Static Routing submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.

A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. If static route is used properly in the network, it can decrease the network overhead and improve the speed of forwarding packets.

Static routing is generally suitable for simple network environment, in which users clearly understand the topology of the network so as to set the routing information correctly. When the network topology is complicated and users are not so familiar with the topology structure, this function should be used with caution or under the guidance of the experienced administrator.

Go to the Network page. In the Static Routing section, click Add and specify the following parameters.

Enable Enable or disable the desired entry.

Note:

Bandwidth Control submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.

Bandwidth control function is used to control the internet bandwidth in the local area network. In the case of insufficient bandwidth resources, enable the function to make the device allocate reasonable bandwidth to the clients and achieve the purpose of efficient use of the existing bandwidth. Via IP bandwidth control function, set the upper and lower limit in the bandwidth of the computer network and guarantee a smooth sharing network.

Go to the Network page. In the Bandwidth Control section, enable the Bandwidth Control function.

Total Ingress Specify the upper bandwidth for receiving packets from the WAN port.

Click Save and click Apply, then click Save.

Configure IP & MAC Binding

We can effectively prevent ARP attack and IP embezzlement by enabling the IP&MAC binding. Within the local network, the device transmits IP packets to the certain target identified by the MAC address. Therefore, the IP and MAC address should be one-to- one correspondence and their corresponding relations are maintained by the ARP table. ARP attack can use forged information to renewal the ARP table, and destroy the corresponding relations between IP and MAC addresses, which would prevent the communication between the device and the corresponding host. When the IP&MAC Binding function is enabled, the IP and MAC relations in the ARP table won’t be expired and renewed automatically, which effectively prevents the ARP attack.

Some functions such as access control and bandwidth control, are based on the IP addresses to identify the access clients. The network administrator can allocate every client a static IP, according to which he makes the access and bandwidth rules to control the clients’ online behavior and the bandwidth they’ve used. Some illegal users may change the IP address in order to get higher internet access. Enabling IP & MAC binding function can effectively prevent the IP embezzlement.

Note:

After IP & MAC binding function is enabled, the IP bound to the MAC cannot be used by other MACs. However this MAC can use other IPs within the same segment, which are not bounded by other MACs, to access the network.

1. Go to the Network page. In the IP & MAC Binding section, click Add and specify the IP address and MAC address.

Note:

Click Import to quick import the entries in ARP table to IP & MAC Binding table. The imported entries are disabled by default. Select the desired entries and click Edit to enable it.

IP

Enter the IP address that you want to bind with the MAC address.

MAC Enter the MAC address that you want to bind with the IP address.

Enable the desired entry and click Save. Click Apply, then click Save.

Configure the Wireless Parameters

This chapter introduces how to configure the parameters of the wireless network, including:

Configure Basic Wireless Parameters

Configure Wireless Client Parameters

Configure Wireless AP Parameters

Configure Multi-SSID

Configure Wireless MAC Filtering

Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters

Configure Basic Wireless Parameters

This section allows you to configure wireless basic parameters, such as 802.11 mode, Transmit Power, and data rates.

Go to the Wireless Page. In the Basic Wireless Settings section, configure the basic wireless settings and click Apply. Then click Save.

Region Specify the region where you use the device. Available channels and maximum Transmit Power will be determined by the selected region according to the local laws and regulations.

Mode Select the protocol standard used in the wireless network. To check what protocol standards your device supports, refer to the actual web interface.

Certain devices have a frequency band of 2.4GHz, supporting 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b/g, and 802.11b/g/n modes. We recommend that you set the mode as 802.11b/g/n, allowing all 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless stations to access the device.

Certain devices have a frequency band of 5GHz, supporting 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11a/n modes. We recommend that you set the mode as 802.11a/n, allowing both 802.11a and 802.11n wireless stations to access the device.

Certain devices have a frequency band of 5GHz, supporting 802.11ac, 802.11n/ac, and 802.11a/n/ac modes. We recommend that you set the mode as 802.11a/n/ac, allowing all 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac wireless stations to access the device.

Channel Width Select the channel width of this device. To check what channel width your device supports, refer to the actual web interface.

For certain devices, options include 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 20/40 MHz (the device automatically selects 40 MHz, and 20 MHz will be used if 40 MHz is not available).

For certain devices, options include 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 20/40/80 MHz (the device automatically selects 80 MHz, and 40 MHz will be used if 80 MHz is not available, and so on).

According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a wider channel can increase wireless throughput. However, you may need to choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:

To increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth.

To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices in the environment.

Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.

In Client / AP Client Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, the device should have the same channel width as the root AP.

In Access Point / AP Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, select the channel width which your clients support.

Max TX Rate Set the maximum transmit data rate.

Channel/ Frequency Select appropriate channel used by this device to improve wireless performance. 1/2412 MHz refers to Channel 1 and the frequency is 2412 MHz. This setting is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. We highly recommend that you use the Spectrum Analysis tool to select a proper channel.

Antenna Select your antenna from the list.

Antenna Gain Antenna Gain is only available in WBS products. Enter the antenna gain value according to the antennas and the value ranges from 0 to 30dBi. It can work together with the transmit power to improve the transmit signal quality.

Channel/Frequency: Auto O

Antenna Gain: 0 (0-30)dBi

EIRP Limit This option should remain enabled. With EIRP Limit enabled, the transmit power is restricted so that the EIRP (Effecitive Isotropic Radiated Power) of the device is kept below the amount which is allowed in the selected region.

Channel

Shifting
Note:

Channel Shifting is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.

Enable or disable the Channel Shifting function. This function is only available when MAXtream is enabled in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. Channel Shifting is a TP-Link proprietary technology. With Channel Shifting enabled, the AP will use non-standard channels by adding a frequency offset to the standard 802.11 b/g/n channels.

Your network can then only be detected by the wireless devices with Channel Shifting enabled and so is less likely to be detected by other wireless networks, which benefits network security.

Transmit Power Note:

In most scenarios, it is unnecessary to select the maximum transmit power. Selecting larger transmit power than your need may cause interference to neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will reduce longevity of the device. Select appropriate transmit power to achieve the best performance. Use the Speed Test tool to find the best performance.

Specify the transmit power of the device. Use the slider or manually enter the transmit power value. For Outdoor Wireless Base Stations, the maximum transmit power varies according to the antenna gain value.

MAXtream Note:

MAXtream is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.

MAXtream Technology is only compatible with Pharos series products. Working with products from other manufacturer will cause network fault.

Enable or disable the MAXtream function. This function is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. MAXtream is a TP-Link proprietary technology. It is based on TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) so that data streams are transmitted in their own time slots. MAXtream aims to maximize throughput and minimize latency. “Hidden nodes” problem can also be eliminated with MAXtream enabled.

MAXtream

Station Mode
Note:

MAXtream is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.

MAXtream Station Mode is available in Client Mode, Bridge Mode and AP Client Router Mode with the wireless AP settings disabled.

Wireless MAC Filtering function uses MAC addresses to determine whether one host can access the wireless network or not. Thereby it can effectively control the user access in the wireless network. This function is available in all modes except the Client Mode.

1. Go to the Wireless page. In the Wireless MAC Filtering section, enable this feature and specify the filtering rule.

Wireless MAC Filtering Enable or disable the Wireless MAC Filtering function.

2. Click Add and specify the following parameters.

Filtering Rules Specify the filtering rules.

Allow the stations specified by any enabled entries in the list to access the network: The stations listed in the table are allowed to access the wireless network under the rules. While others are forbidden to access.

Deny the stations specified by any enabled entries in the list to access the network: The stations listed in the table are forbidden to access the wireless network under the rules. While others are allowed to access.

Enable Enable or disable the desired entry.

SSID Select te SSID to which the filtering rules apply. In AP Mode, if Multi-SSID is enabled, you should set different filtering rules for each SSID.

Comment Enter the description information for the filtering rule

3. Click Save and click Apply. Then click Save.

Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters

This section is used to specify the advanced wireless parameters, such as Beacon Interval, RTS threshold and DTIM Interval.

Go to the Wireless page. In the Advanced Wireless Settings section, specify the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save.

Distance

Setting
Specify the distance between AP and Station. If this device serves as a client, the value is the distance between this device and the root AP. If this device serves as an AP, the value is the distance between the farthest client and this AP.

You can manually enter the value or enable the Auto option.

Manual: Enter the distance manually in the input box. The value is limited to 0-200km, and we recommend you set the value to 110% of the real distance.

Auto (Only works within 0-xx km): Check the Auto option, then the system will dynamically detect the distance. This function is available only when the distance is less than xx kilometers. The value xx varies according to the channel width you set. CPE210 does not support this option.

The distance value will be converted to a corresponding ACK timeout value, and the ACK timeout value will influence the throughput performance to a large extent.

Long Range PtP Note:

Long Range PtP is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.

Long Rage PtP is only available when MAXtream function is enabled. With this function enabled, it is allowed to specify a larger distance which can be helpful in the following situations:

The AP is connected to a single client or AP.

The distance between the two devices exceeds the distance allowed by the AP’s hardware specifications.

The distance is used to calculate the Acknowledge timeout (ACK timeout). Long Range PtP allows the AP to get a larger ACK timeout and reduce unnecessary retransmission in the situations above.

Beacon Interval Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. Specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The default value is 100.

RTS Threshold Specify the RTS threshold for the device.

RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when there are lots of large packets to be transmitted.

When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/ CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet collisions can be avoided.

For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data throughput.

Fragmentation

Threshold
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets.

The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets.

Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.

DTIM Interval Specify the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval for the device.

The DTIM is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this device should check for buffered data still on the device awaiting pickup.

Specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep the default value.

AP Isolation Enable or disable AP Isolation. With this feature enabled, the clients can not communicate with each other directly.

Note:

AP Isolation is not available in Client Mode.

Short GI Enable or disable Short GI.

Propagation delays often occurs in data transmission process and influence the capability of the wireless network. It can result from multiple factors, such as multipath effect. GI (Guard Interval) is intended to solve the problem based on delays, and Short GI is used to improve the throughput of the wireless network based on the GI in the environment with small delays.

When the delays are small. When Short GI is enabled, the guard interval will be set as 400ns and this function will boost the performance about 11%. In the with serious multipath time delay. Short GI function will reduce the throughput instead of improving it.

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Enable or disable WMM. With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic according to the data type when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic, such as video or audio packets, gets a higher priority than normal traffic.

We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or audio application.

QoS Enable or disable QoS. The QoS function improves the transmission performance of video or audio traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy between the AP and the clients.

2. Click Save.

Configure Dynamic DNS

Note:

The Dynamic DNS function is only available in AP Router and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.

The main function of Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is mapping the fixed domain name to dynamic IP address.

When a device connects to the internet through PPPoE or Dynamic IP, the WAN IP address it gets is not fixed, which is inconvenient for the internet users to access the servers in the local area network through IP address. With Dynamic DNS function enabled, users can access servers using a fixed domain name.

The DDNS server will establish a mapping table about the dynamic IP address and the fixed domain name. When the WAN IP address of the device changes, it will make an update request to the specified DDNS server, and then the DDNS server will update the mapping relation between the IP address and the domain name. Therefore, whenever the WAN IP address changes, users on the internet can still access the servers in the local area network using a fixed, easy-to-remember domain name.

The DDNS function that serves as the client of DDNS service must work with DDNS server. Register an account to DDNS service provider (NO-IP, Dyndns or Comexe) first.

1. Go to the Management page. In the Dynamic DNS section, configure the following parameters and click Login.

Service

Provider
Select the service provider.

Dynamic DNS Enable or disable the Dynamic DNS feature.

Click Add PC’s MAC to quickly add your PC’s MAC address to the MAC list.

2. Click Apply, then click Save.

Configure SNMP Agent

Get the traffic information and transmit condition by using the SNMP Agent function. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on.

Configure the device as SNMP Agent, and it can receive and process the management message from the NMS (Network Management System).

1. Go to the Management page. In the SNMP Agent section, configure the following parameters and click Apply.

SNMP Agent Enable or disable the SNMP Agent function.

SysContact Enter the textual identification of the contact person for this device, for example, contact number or e-mail address.

SysName Enter a name for the device.

Get Community Specify the community that has read-only access to the device’s SNMP information.

Get Source Enter the IP address of the NMS that can serve as Get Community to read the SNMP information of this device. By default, it is 0.0.0.0, which means an NMS of any IP address is available.

Set Community Specify the community who has the read-and-write right of the device’s SNMP information.

Set Source Enter the IP address of the NMS that can serve as Set Community to read and write the SNMP information of this device. By default, it is 0.0.0.0, which means an NMS of any IP address is available.

2. Click Apply, then click Save.

Note:

Defining community can allow management systems in the same community to communicate with the SNMP Agent. The community name can be seen as the shared password of the network hosts group. Thus, for the safety, we suggest modifying the default community name before enabling the SNMP Agent service. If the field of community is blank, the SNMP Agent will not respond to any community name.

Configure SSH Server

The SSH Server function is used for the users to log in and manage the device through SSH connection on the SSH client software.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol established on application and transport layers. SSH- encrypted-connection is similar to a telnet connection, but essentially the old telnet remote management method is not safe, because the password and data transmitted with plain-text can be easily intercepted. SSH can provide information security and powerful authentication when you log in this device remotely through an insecure network environment. It can encrypt all the transmission data and prevent the information in remote management from being leaked.

Failover

Description

Cluebase VMS supports failover (hot swap) functionality as the following options:

1 to 1 – every server in the system has a failover server

Many to 1 – several servers can be hot-swapped by 1 failover server

Many to Many – several servers can be hot-swapped by several failover servers

Important

In case of using the failover functionality it’s important to make sure that network storage is being used (Object storage or NAS)

Failover server hardware should be able to handle the required number of cameras so the failover servers’ hardware should be precisely calculated and configured.

Configuration is automatically sent from main server to failover every 5 minutes

Please note that shutting down the main server manually is considered as maintenance and will not initiate the failover process.

After switching back from failover server to the main server it is required to reset failover server’s configuration or reboot.

Setup

To set up a failover system you need to have at least 1 main server and 1 failover server.

Go to the main server user interface and open Failover settings: Settings->Failover->Add Failover Server and fill the fields with Failover server credentials. In the Logic field choose the server or servers that should be hot-swapped by the current Failover server. Then click Save.

Sign in

Open a web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari are recommended), enter the server’s IP address and press Enter.

By default login and password: admin/admin.

45. The video analytic processing should be able to run on top of a server or to be virtualized using virtualization technologies.

46.The system can offer the following video analytic:

– Object Detection – identifies people, cars, busses, trucks, motorcycles and animals in a defined area/zone.

– Face recognition – an algorithm for human identification and verification, based on the facial recognition as well as the age and gender estimation. The algorithm creates a database of all faces captured by video cameras and lets you search the database for similar faces.

– License plate recognition – an algorithm for license plate recognition. Video streams can be processed to search for and recognize license plate numbers in the frame. These license plate numbers are saved to a database and associated with the relevant recorded video. The database is searchable. License plate numbers can be compared to lists in real time, with actions performed (or not performed) depending on whether or not a license plate is found in the list. Aside from license plates, system can recognize the make, model, and color of vehicle, as well as the country and direction of movement of the car.

– Traffic Analytics – intended for the calculation of intensity and determination of traffic structure classify the types of vehicles (car, bus, truck, bicycle, motorbike). It also counts people and provides statistical report with graphs and pies by hours, days, weeks, months.

– Crowd Detection – estimates the number of people within a given area in real time and triggers an alarm when a specified number of people (capacity) or a specified percentage of people (occupancy) is reached.

– Hard Hat Detection – detects people not wearing helmets, records video and sends alarms.

– Heat Map – color visual representation of data analysis of customer activity presented by color visual representation of data (warm and cold zones).

– Age & Gender Detection – determines the gender of customers and their approximate age by detecting and analyzing the faces of visitors.

– Motion Detection – captures any movement in the scene. The following rules can be applied: line crossing, loitering, intrusion, abandoned object, disappearance of an object.

– Smoke & Fire Detection – recognizes smoke and fire in the image.

– Smart Tracking System – search people by attributes (color of clothes, bag, hair, hat, gender, and age).

– Body Movement Detection – identifies a person in different positions: sitting, standing, walking, lying, getting up.

– Wagon Identification – detection and recognition of wagon UIC numbers.

– Smart Parking – management of parking lot, detection of license plates of entering vehicles, recognition of model, direction of movement, and payment status of the car.

47.It is possible to setup several “lists” in the database of the analytics platform. A list contains License plates or faces and related data.

48. The analytics platform detects license plates or faces in the live stream provided by the cameras and shall match them against the license plates and faces stored in data-base of the analytics platform

49. When there is a match, an event should be sent by the system to the video management system. Additional data such as the camera and the time of detection should be included in the event provided to the video management system.

50. When the event provided by the analytics platform triggers an alarm in the video management system, the following content shall appear in the alarm panel of the VMS:

– A cropped extract of the original image.

– The corresponding face or license plate taken from the database of the analytics platform to allow the operator to compare the captured image with the reference image from data-base

– Additional data related to the face or license plate stored in the data-base of the analytics platform (e.g. name of person etc.)

51. All events and meta-data are displayed in the archive on a timeline of corresponding camera of the video management system as an icon. If pointing the mouse arrow at this icon, a frame with the image of an object that triggered an alarm should appear.

How do I use Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge

admin — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:52:06 +0000

How do I use Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge to connect to my CCTV equipment on Windows 10 & 11?

There are some IP camera and NVR models that do not work well when you try to connect to them in modern web browsers (Internet Explorer Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.), as they use firmware designed for use on the Internet Explorer engine.

Now that IE11 is being retired from Windows completely, the only way to access these devices will be to use a modern browser that can open webpages as if they were IE. If you’re using a Windows 10 or 11 PC, then the easiest option here is to use Microsoft Edge.

The following steps will show you how to enable IE mode in Edge and use this to load any necessary web pages:

Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) Being Retired on June 15th 2022 – How Will I Access My Hikvision System?

As we have been aware for many years, Windows has been slowly running down support for Internet Explorer. Last year they confirmed that IE11 would be completely retired from Windows 10 on June 15th 2022, after this date IE11 desktop application will no longer work and users will be redirected to use Edge.

Lots of users will also be aware that Hikvision products have been reliant on IE for browser access for many years, even with our and other users’ repeated requests for a complete solution for Hikvision products to work in modern browsers the solution has been slow coming.

With the June 15th date fast approaching Hikvision has released the attached documents that explain 3 main methods for browser access going forward and which models support which method, the methods are listed below:

1. Non-plug-in service (For modern browser access, not all models support this method)

2. Local service (Plug-in required)

3. IE compatibility mode on Edge browser

Some of the oldest Hikvision models may not support any of the above methods, if that is the case then you will have to use Hikvision’s desktop VMS software – iVMS-4200 – to access your Hikvision devices.

This is not the simple, clean solution we were hoping for from Hikvision and we are sure there will be issues discovered along the way, but it is a first step and hopefully means that all Hikvision users will have some way to access their systems going forward.

If you do run into any problems or have any questions please share them below and we will try to get the answers for you.

Channel Width	Select the channel width of this device. To check what channel width your device supports, refer to the actual web interface. For certain devices, options include 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 20/40 MHz (the device automatically selects 40 MHz, and 20 MHz will be used if 40 MHz is not available). For certain devices, options include 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz and 20/40/80 MHz (the device automatically selects 80 MHz, and 40 MHz will be used if 80 MHz is not available, and so on). According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a wider channel can increase wireless throughput. However, you may need to choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons: To increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth. To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices in the environment. Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing stability of wireless links over long distances. In Client / AP Client Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, the device should have the same channel width as the root AP. In Access Point / AP Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, select the channel width which your clients support.
Max TX Rate	Set the maximum transmit data rate.
Channel/ Frequency	Select appropriate channel used by this device to improve wireless performance. 1/2412 MHz refers to Channel 1 and the frequency is 2412 MHz. This setting is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. We highly recommend that you use the Spectrum Analysis tool to select a proper channel.

If TKIP is applied in 802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the device may not be able to access the root wireless network. If TKIP is applied in 11b/ g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 11a/n mode(5GHz), the device may work at a low transmission rate. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard. It is securer than TKIP.
PSK Password	Specify the PSK password used in the connection with the clients.

SSID	Select te SSID to which the filtering rules apply. In AP Mode, if Multi-SSID is enabled, you should set different filtering rules for each SSID.
MAC	Enter the MAC address of the wireless host that you need to filter.
Comment	Enter the description information for the filtering rule

Long Range PtP	Note: Long Range PtP is only available on certain devices. To check whether your device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface. Long Rage PtP is only available when MAXtream function is enabled. With this function enabled, it is allowed to specify a larger distance which can be helpful in the following situations: The AP is connected to a single client or AP. The distance between the two devices exceeds the distance allowed by the AP’s hardware specifications. The distance is used to calculate the Acknowledge timeout (ACK timeout). Long Range PtP allows the AP to get a larger ACK timeout and reduce unnecessary retransmission in the situations above.
Beacon Interval	Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. Specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold	Specify the RTS threshold for the device. RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when there are lots of large packets to be transmitted. When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/ CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet collisions can be avoided. For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data throughput.
Fragmentation Threshold	Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.

DTIM Interval	Specify the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval for the device. The DTIM is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this device should check for buffered data still on the device awaiting pickup. Specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep the default value.
AP Isolation	Enable or disable AP Isolation. With this feature enabled, the clients can not communicate with each other directly. Note: AP Isolation is not available in Client Mode.
Short GI	Enable or disable Short GI. Propagation delays often occurs in data transmission process and influence the capability of the wireless network. It can result from multiple factors, such as multipath effect. GI (Guard Interval) is intended to solve the problem based on delays, and Short GI is used to improve the throughput of the wireless network based on the GI in the environment with small delays. When the delays are small. When Short GI is enabled, the guard interval will be set as 400ns and this function will boost the performance about 11%. In the with serious multipath time delay. Short GI function will reduce the throughput instead of improving it.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)	Enable or disable WMM. With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic according to the data type when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic, such as video or audio packets, gets a higher priority than normal traffic. We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or audio application.
QoS	Enable or disable QoS. The QoS function improves the transmission performance of video or audio traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy between the AP and the clients.

From	Enter the sender’s E-mail address.
To	Enter the receiver’s E-mail address.
SMTP Server	Enter the IP address of the sender’s SMTP server.
Authentication	Enable or disable the authentication function. If the sender’s mailbox is configured, check the box to enable mail server authentication. Enter the sender’s username and password.
Auto Mail Feature	Enable or disable Auto Mail Feature. With this feature enabled, specify the way for the device to send the system log.

Discovery	Enable or disable Discovery. With this feature enabled, TP-Link Pharos Control software can discover the device. Pharos Control is a network management software developed independently by TP-Link and it currently supports Pharos series products. It can centralize monitoring and managing network devices in the network platform
CDP	Enable or disable CDP. With this function enabled, this device can share its information with the neighboring devices that support CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol, a device discovery protocol developed by Cisco).
