RTSP
RTSP is a standard protocol for connecting a client to establish and control streaming data over the
web. If you want to allow third-party devices or software to access video/audio streams from the IP
camera over the network, you must configure the RTSP ports. The major difference between Unicast
and Multicast is how client and server communicate packets with each other. Specifically, unicast
transmits packets in a 1 to 1 device method, while multicast transmits 1 to multiple devices. Therefore,
unicast requires large network bandwidth and uses more resources of server but is more stable
because of its simple structure; by contrast, multicast needs less bandwidth with resources and is
more practical for multiple devices broadcast, with the condition that all relevant peripheral devices,
like switch or router, support the multicast protocol. Select a method based on your network
applications for best efficiency. For each RTSP session, there are 3 kinds of real-time data that can be
configured, including video, audio and meta data. When codec related information is changed, the
RTSP server will be restarted.
