iGuardware is a collection of two utility programs: iGuard Utility and iGuardview. You
can use the iGuard Utility to quickly setup multiple iGuard units and you can use
iGuardview to monitor multiple cameras, and maybe most importantly to perform
motion tracking (V2.5 and above only). If you have a DHCP server on the network, the
iGuard will obtain an IP address automatically, and you can enter this IP address in IE
to launch the web manager (Chapter 5).

Appendix A: Router Configuration
Appendix A: Router Configuration
If you have signed up a consumer grade broadband service, and you use a router to
share your internet access, you will need to address following three major issues:
a. DDNS service
b. Port forwarding
c. Demilitarized Zone
If you are not familiar with those network terms, then you will probably need a network
technician to help to setup the iGuard.
The following information assumes you have basic knowledge about networking and
is for your reference only. Technical support for remote monitoring is only available
to those who subscribe to the DDNS service provided by Web Surveillance, LLC
a. DDNS:
In order to access the iGuard from internet, you will have to know the external IP
address of your iGuard. If you have a consumer grade broadband service, this IP
address may change over time, making it impossible for the remote PC to
communicate with your iGuard, just like you ask people to call you but you change
your phone number without notified the other party. The solution is to subscribe to a
DDNS service which keeps track of your IP address. iGuard is compatible with the
b. Port Forwarding
If you place the iGuard behind a router, you need to programme the router so that it
can direct the specific incoming traffic to iGuard.
By default iGuard uses Port 80 for HTTP traffic (web manager) and port 9001 for
video streaming. So you need forward port 80 traffic to the internal IP address of the
iGuard.
If your Internet service Provider blocks port 80/9001 or you already host a website on
the same network, you’ll need to reconfigure your iGuard and router to other ports
such as 81/9002, 82/9003, etc.
Note: The section you need to look for in the router is Port Forwarding or Virtual
Server
C. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
iGuard uses port 9001 by default to stream video to the internet. Unfortunately this
port is normally disabled or blocked by most commercial router’s built-in firewall. In
order for the iGuard applications to work properly, the firewall settings in the router
need to be configured.
Some router has a very sophisticated built-in firewall. Instead of programming each
port on the router, you can use the DMZ feature to by-pass the firewall setting.

Appendix B: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway
Appendix B: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway
This section discusses Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses and Subnet masking
Communities
A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with
the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.”
For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding. The
agent can be configured so that only trap managers that are members of a community
can send requests and receive responses from a particular community. This
prevents unauthorized managers from viewing or changing the configuration of a
device.
Gateways
Gateway, also referred to as a router, is any computer with two or more network
adapters connecting to different physical networks. Gateways allow for transmission
of IP packets among networks on an Internet.
IP Addresses
Every device on an Internet must be assigned a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address.
An IP address is a 32-bit value comprised of a network ID and a host ID. The
network ID identifies the logical network to which a particular device belongs. The
host ID identifies the particular device within the logical network. IP addresses
distinguish devices on an Internet from one another so that IP packets are properly
transmitted.
IP addresses appear in dotted decimal (rather than in binary) notation. Dotted
decimal notation divides the 32-bit value into four 8-bit groups, or octets, and
separates each octet with a period. For example, 199.217.132.1 is an IP address in
dotted decimal notation.
To accommodate networks of different sizes, the IP address has three divisions –
Classes A for large, B for medium and C for small. The difference among the
network classes is the number of octets reserved for the network ID and the number
of octets reserved for the host ID.
Class Value of First Octet
Network ID

First two octets
First tree octets

Appendix B: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway
Subnetting and Subnet Masks
Subnetting divides a network address into sub-network addresses to accommodate
more than one physical network on a logical network.
For example:
A Class B company has 100 LANs (Local Area Networks) with 100 to 200 nodes on
each LAN. To classify the nodes by its LANs on one main network, this company
segments the network address into 100 sub-network addresses. If the Class B
network address is 150.1.x.x, the address can be segmented further from 150.1.1.x
through 150.1.100.x
A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for
different sub-networks on the same logical network. Like IP addresses, subnet
masks consist of four octets in dotted decimal notation. You can use subnet masks
to route and filter the transmission of IP packets among your sub-networks. The
value “255” is assigned to octets that belong to the network ID, and the value “0” is
assigned to octets that belong to the host ID.
For the example above, if you want all the devices on the sub-networks to receive
each other’s IP packets, set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. If you want the devices
on a single sub-network only to receive IP packets from other devices on its own
sub-network, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 for the devices on the
sub-network.
Subnet Mask Routing and Filtering
0.0.0.0
IP packets are transmitted to all devices.
255.0.0.0
IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first octet
matches the sender’s IP address’s first octet.
255.255.0.0
IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first two
octets match the sender’s IP address’s first two octets.
255.255.255.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first three
octets match the sender’s IP address’s first three octets.

Appendix D: Glossary
Appendix C: Glossary
The Glossary defines the terms used in this User Manual
Term
Definition
Ethernet
Local Area Network technology, originally developed by Xerox
Corporation, can link up to 1,024 nodes in a bus network. Ethernet
provides raw data transfer in a rate of 10 megabits/sec. with actual
throughputs in 2 to 3 megabits/sec. using a baseband
(single-channel) communication technique. Ethernet uses carrier
sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD) that prevents
network failures when two devices attempt to access the network at
the same time. LAN hardware manufacturers use Ethernet protocol;
their products may not be compatible.
Gateway
A computer that attaches to a number of networks and routes packets
between them. The packets can be different protocols at the higher
levels.
IP
Internet Protocol – The TCP/IP standard protocol defines the IP
datagram as the unit of information passed across a network.
Internet Protocol Address – A 32-bit address assigned to hosts
participating in a TCP/IP network. The IP address consists of
network and host portions. It is assigned to an interconnection of a
host to a physical network.
IP Address
MAC
MIB
Medium Access Control - The network layer between the physical and
the data link layers. Specifically, the physical (hardware) address
exists in this layer.
Management Information Base – The database, i.e. set of variables
maintained by a gateway running SNMP
NMS
OID
Network Management Station
Object Identifier – The variables defined in a MIB
Router
A computer that manages traffic between different network segments
or different network topologies. It directs the destination IP address.
The network media can be different, but the higher-level protocols
must be the same.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol – A standard protocol used to
monitor IP hosts, networks, and gateways. SNMP defines a set of
simple operations that can be performed on the OIDs of the MIBs
managed by the monitored Agents. It employs the UDP/IP transport
layer to move its object between the Agents and the NMS
Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol – A protocol suite
used by more than 15 million users with a UNIX association and
widely used to link computers of different kinds.

Q6. What is the effective length of the RJ-45 cable?
The Standard effective length per RJ-45 cable is 100m, you will need a hub per 100m
extension, up to a maximum of 480m.
Q7. Can I use iGuard outdoors?
iGuard is designed primarily for indoor use. For outdoor use you will need a
protective housing. This is not supplied.
Q8. Is the camera capable of zooming by adding a zoom lens?
You can add a zoom lens, but will have to adjust the zoom manually. The default
camera does not support 'remote' zoom.
Q9. My iGuard is connected to a Router and I can see it in LAN but my friends
can't see it from the Web? How do I set up iGuard for the web?
For users with DYNAMIC IP;
(a) Contact iGuard.com Customer Support for a DDNS account (self-registration
coming soon) and register your iGuard cameras

(b) From your PC log-on to your iGuard as Administrator. Enter your username and
password for your iGuard.com account. Make sure the "Use Public IP to Register" is
set to "Yes" Then Click "Apply" located at the bottom of screen.
Note: Please allow 5 minutes for the DDNS server to be updated with your Current
WAN IP.
If iGuard is connected to a Router or IP Share then;
(d) Go to your Address Translation / NAT / Firewall section of your
ROUTER. Open up TCP port 80 and UDP port 9001, make sure that the TCP port is
not currently used by your router, otherwise choose a different port.
Note: Here you are using iGuard to check your current WAN IP and update the
DDNS server. Alternatively, if your ROUTER supports DDNS, you can input the
above details (b) in your ROUTER. In which case, your ROUTER will update the
DDNS server with your current WAN IP.

For users with STATIC IP; proceed directly to (d) or (e).
Q10. I'm connecting iGuard to a HUB, how do I set it to access the internet?
1. Make sure that PPPoE section in iGuard is setup to connect to your ISP, and;
2. Make sure that Dynamic DNS in iGuard is setup.
Q11. I can not access iGuard Web Manager. I have opened up all the ports.
1. Check that your Router and iGuard are not both also using EXTERNAL / WAN
port 80. If it is, change one to another EXTERNAL / WAN port.
2. If you changed iGuard default HTTP port 80 to another say, port 8081. Then you
Q12. I can access iGuard Web Manager but cannot view images when clicking
ActiveX / SunJava.
Make sure that you have a UDP port 9001 opened.
Q13. There is no Port Forwarding Section in my Router.
Different Routers have different setup for this section. In general, a more advanced
router will allow you to forward Internal / LAN port to an External / WAN port. You
can assign an internal port number to be forwarded to a different external port
number.
However, there are also Routers which can not do this. Your internal port = external
port, and you are only allowed to open a range of ports. Please check with your
router's manufacturer on how to open the port for your router.
Q14. I setup the Email Server (SMTP) but I can't seem to receive any emails.
Make sure that your Internet Security Software / SPAM software does not block
outgoing emails.
Q15. What bandwidth is required by iGuard?
The average "Bytes of Image per Frame" is between 4Kbytes - 9Kbytes. This size is
determined according to color saturation of the image captured. Therefore, the
"Frame per Second" (FPS) = "Data transmission rate" (in Bytes/s) divided by "Bytes
of Image per Frame" (Bytes/frame)
You can check your current FPS setting in iGuard. Network --> Account Settings -->
FPS (default is 10)

Appendix D: Glossary
At 10 FPS, iGuard will need about 40Kbytes - 90Kbytes of bandwidth.
NOTE:
bps = bits per second (8 bits =1 Byte)
Most ADSL throughput speed varies, and is dependent on distance and environmental
constraints. In most cases the actual throughput is only about 75%.
If you are using 56Kbps dial-up, your average speed should be around 4 Kbytes/sec -
6 Kbytes/sec
If you are using 512Kbps ADSL, your average speed should be around 40 Kbytes/sec
- 50 Kbytes/sec If you are using T1 (1536Kbps) ADSL, your average speed should be
120 Kbytes/sec or higher.
If you are using 2M (2000Kbps) ADSL, your average speed should be 160 Kbytes/sec
or higher.
