4.2.3 Multicast Tab
Figure 4-11 “Multicast” Tabbed Pane
The
Multicast
tabbed pane allows you to open Camera’s UDP Multicast
Streaming function.
By default, Camera’s live stream belongs to RTSP Protocol. It means camera has
to send an individual streaming for each client wish to see the videos. So the
more the client number is, the larger the network bandwidth required and the
bigger loading of the camera.
In other words, the camera can send just one streaming and each client can
receive the streaming with Multicast Protocol.
Even with the client number increasing, the network bandwidth is still the same
loading with one camera.
After checking the “Enable” box to open this function, click Save button to apply
the settings.
Check the “Enable” box to open
UDP Multicast Streaming
function of stream1, 2 or 3.
