Configuring SOCKS Settings
SOCKet Secure (SOCKS) is an Internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy
server. This feature is useful if the encoder is located on a local network behind a firewall, yet alarms need to be sent to a
destination outside the local network (such as the Internet). SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 are supported, and SOCKS5 additionally
provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server.
