Client Settings
This chapter explains how to select the streaming source, transmission mode and
saving options at the client computer. It is composed of the following four sections:
Stream Options, MPEG-4 Media Options, MPEG-4 Protocol Options and MP4 Saving
Options. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the bottom
of the page to take effect.
Stream Options
The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams. For more
information, refer to Video settings on page 45.
MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to
MPEG-4.
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of
MPEG-4 streaming:
UDP unicast:
This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams.
However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images
may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive
responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client
connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera
allows up to ten simultaneous clients.
UDP multicast:
This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network
packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network
transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same
time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured
to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP
Streaming on page 41.
