Network – Streaming
The camera can stream using UDP, TCP or HTTP. The client application connecting to a camera can direct
which protocol to use. The method of streaming will likely determine the need and extent of any router
configuration that may be required.
The port settings all relate to camera ports. If streaming outside of a LAN (e.g. to the internet), then routers
on both the camera and client side need to provide necessary access for these ports.
The camera will stream via HTTP by default, which will use the HTTP port as defined in the System –
Generic Settings (80 by default). Streaming via HTTP often requires little or no router configuration.
If the client application uses RTP over RTSP/TCP, then the camera will stream using the
RTSP Port
, 554 by
default.
RTP over UDP will stream using the
RTP Video Port
, starting at 6002 and can increment
Video and audio server ports only need be changed if a network has security or operational restrictions
using these ports. In most cases, the RTP/RTCP video and audio should use the default values.
While the RTP/RTCP audio/video ports by default are 6002-6005, this represents the starting point for
client connections. If 1 client is connected, then this connection would use 6002-6005, but a 2nd
connection would then use 6006-6009. This may require proper router configuration if using the web UI
outside of a LAN.
Maximum Viewers
refers to concurrent uses. Connections beyond this value will receive an error upon
connection.
