Network Protocols
The Arecont Vision MicroDome Duo cameras support RTSP, RTP/TCP, RTP/UDP, HTTP,
DHCP, TFTP, QoS, IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6).
RTSP
Cameras communicate with video management systems over Real Time Streaming
Protocol. Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the
default setting.
RTP/TCP
The Real-time Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is best suited for
applications that require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical.
RTP/UDP
The Real-time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol is used for live unicast video,
especially when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some
images are dropped.
HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for data transmission.
The HTTP interface on a camera allows users to connect to it with a web browser and
a GUI interface.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally
manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if
using dynamic IP address assignment.
TFTP
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a protocol used for file management and transfer.
On a camera the TFTP is used to receive commands or to stream video. TFTP lacks security
features.
QoS
Quality of Service can assign a higher priority for a given type of IP traffic. A QoS-aware
network prioritizes network traffic and provides greater network reliability by controlling the
amount of bandwidth an application may use.
ONVIF
–
The Open Network Video Interface is a protocol specific to IP cameras that provides a
common interface for all camera manufacturers. ONVIF is an industry wide standard for camera
configuration, discovery, user authentication, security, event notification, and video streaming.
IPv4
The MicroDome Duo supports the IPv4 internet-layer protocol for packet-switched
internetworking across multiple IP networks. IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing which allows for
devices and users on the internet for routing traffic.
