H.265/H.264 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This option is enabled only when the video mode is set to
H.264 or H.265.
H.265/H.264 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H.264 or H.265
streaming:
•
UDP unicast—This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP
connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important.
Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the camera
allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.
•
UDP multicast—This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all
clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the
camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the camera
must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see the
