You can transmit the data stream from the IP cameras using the UDP, TCP or HTTP protocol through
the remote/local network.
Select a protocol for the remote network and local network respectively. Click

UDP:
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
TCP:
The TCP protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides
better video quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP:
The HTTP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video
display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the
UDP protocol. By default, the camera is set up with HTTP for both remote and local network.
