recording, and storage. Uses the most bandwidth.
Sub Stream

monitoring in lower network bandwidth environments.
Protocol
You can select the stream media protocol from the drop-
down list. There are three options:
TCP
,
UDP
, or
Multicast
.
TCP
:
Provides most reliable data transmission. Higher
latency and bandwidth use than UDP.
UDP
:
Provides fastest data transmission. Lower latency and
bandwidth use than TCP but allows some data loss (such as
dropped frames).
Multicast
:
Provides the most efficient use of bandwidth if
large numbers of clients are viewing the video
