Network system, network server and network-enabled server

The present invention relates to a network system, a network server, and a network-enabled servo device, and more particularly to a network system capable of automatically detecting and communicating, a network server, and a network-enabled servo device.

In recent years, image surveillance systems have been widely used in various fields, such as security monitoring at intersections, monitoring of factory production, and maintenance of financial units. With the advancement of image monitoring technology, from the early analog monitoring system, it has gradually changed to the popular digital monitoring system, and the most important device in the digital monitoring system is the Internet-Protocol Camera (IP CAM).

The characteristic of the network camera is that it uses digital data transmission, so it can solve the problem that the analog camera is susceptible to noise interference, and the distance can be improved through the network, and the user can manage the entire monitoring through the matched software. system. Since the webcam is transmitted using the network standard protocol, the user can use the remote login mode of the network to set the webcam.

Traditionally, after the user has set up the network camera entity, the user must still perform the network camera industry on other computing devices in the same regional network. The installation setting program is used to know or set the connection information of each network camera such as Internet-Protocol Address (IP Address). Then, the user inputs the connection information such as the network address into the management program or the electronic device for monitoring the image. Due to the considerable complexity and professionalism of the network parameters, this may cause difficulties in setting users.

In addition, if the user wants to connect to the network camera set up in the local area network via the wide-area Internet, the user must first set the corresponding port mapping in the router or the network sharer. This will cause great inconvenience to users or network administrators.

In addition to the network camera, the security monitoring network video server that needs to be connected to the analog lens also has the above problems in detection and setting. In addition to security surveillance products, general consumer electronics products, including Internet TV boxes that provide users with remote access to home TV content over the Internet, also have the above problems in detection and configuration.

At present, some network camera manufacturers have introduced products that claim to be free of installation settings. Users do not need to use the installation program to know or set the IP address of the network camera, but they still need to pass the operator's The portal enters information such as an account number.
