Audio/Video Stream Reference
The Sharx VIPcella series of cameras is very versatile and supports multiple
simultaneous video streams. Entering through the main login screen
automatically activates the highest resolution video stream, called the Primary
Stream. On a PC with Internet Explorer this will be MPEG4 video with audio.

MPEG4 decoding and recording software and in that case the Motion JPEG
stream will be automatically selected. While MJPEG does not support audio,
Macintosh users can play MPEG4 with audio and video through QuickTime as
explained below, or by using the new “Primary Stream” and “Secondary
Stream” shortcuts at the top of the main video screen (see page 32)

the Stream Setup page.
On a network with UPnP, clicking on “Primary Stream” will result in this list:
