Applies to: OnCloud

Summary:

To connect your Hanwha cameras to OnCloud, your network must meet the requirements on this page.

Network Requirements:

Camera bandwidth

• Your network must be able to handle the upstream and downstream traffic for your cameras.

Cloud-connected cameras impact both local and wide-area networks. A stream from a camera uses upload bandwidth. A client that requests a stream uses download bandwidth. Consider this when deciding on your upload and download speeds with your ISP.

You can also reduce how much bandwidth your cameras use. See OnCloud: How do I manage camera bandwidth?

IP addresses

• As with any network device, you must assign cameras an IPv4 address to communicate on the local network, either manually or through DHCP.

Time

• You must enable Network Time Protocol for your network.

For a video system, time must be precise. Network Time Protocol syncs cameras to a common, trusted, reliable source.

Power

• If you use Power over Ethernet (PoE) for your cameras, the network must supply enough power.

You can power Hanwha cameras and the CGA-1610 gateway using PoE. This means that you need to provide power using the network switch or a PoE injector. For specifics on power requirements, check each camera’s datasheet.

Keep in mind that PoE switches have both per-port and total power limitations. It's common for a PoE switch to be limited to (number of ports) x (max power per port). Exceeding this capacity can cause unpredictable results.

Firewall

• Required open port: 443
  
  
• The network must support these protocols:
  • HTTPS
  • MQTT
  • WEBRTC
  • RTP and SRTP
  • DTLS
  • RTSP
