The Client Setup provides options to modify the recording path, streaming protocol and buffering
time. Streaming protocol and buffering time relate to streaming settings for the web UI on the client
PC. These settings are only applied for the browser session, and don’t persist after the browser is
closed.
Settings apply to a specific PC; they are not universal.

Recording Path is used to define the directory where snapshot images and video will be stored.

RTP/RTSP over HTTP is the default. This is the most flexible setting in that it streams using port 80
which should likely require no client router configuration.
RTP over UDP may use less bandwidth than the other options, but it may also result in inferior video
quality since packets may be lost in transmission (more common over WAN) and may require
additional router client configuration for UDP traffic.
See section 5 Router/Firewall Configuration for more information on network configuration
considerations.

Buffering Time can be increased if video
appears to lag due to network latency.
However, an increased buffer will result in
increased lag between real time.
