IMPORTANT:
The Multicast metadata port is utilized by VIVOTEK VADP modules to transfer video analytics
results, PTZ stream, textual data, and event messages between the camera and the client side
running and observing the video analysis. If your client side computer is located outside the local
network, you may need to open the associated TCP port on routers and firewall.
Authentication
: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides
three types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.
If
basic
authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be
potential risks of it being intercepted. If
digest
authentication is selected, user credentials are
encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.
The availability of the RTSP streaming for the three authentication modes is listed in the following
table:
Access name for Channel # and stream #
: This Network camera supports multiple streams
simultaneously. The access name is used to differentiate the streaming source.

mode to
