Client Settings
There are three options to set up on the Client Settings screen.
“
H.264/MPEG-4 Media Options
” determines which media will be streaming, video, audio or both.
“
H.264/MPEG-4 Protocol Options
” allows choices on connection protocol between client and server.
There are four protocol choices to optimize usage – UDP Unicast, UDP Multicast, TCP and HTTP.
•
The
UDP Unicast
protocol allows for more real-time video streams. However, it is possible
that some packets may be lost due to heavy network traffic and images may be obscured.
•
The
UDP Multicast
protocol saves bandwidth on server by serving multiple clients
at the same time.
•
The
TCP
protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video display.
With this protocol, however, the real-time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol(s).
•
The
HTTP
protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol, but the user doesn’t need to
open a specific port to streaming under some network environments.
If no special need is required, UDP Unicast protocol is recommended.
Generally speaking,
the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP Multicast
→
UDP Unicast
→
TCP
→
HTTP.
After the camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Option” will indicate the selected
protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC and will be used for the next
connection. If the network environment is changed, or the user wants to let the web browser
detect again, manually select the UDP protocol, save, and return HOME to re-connect.
4. “
MP4 Saving Options
” specifies the recording folder and file name prefix of the file being saved.
