Bonjour
Bonjour is based on the multicast DNS service from Apple. It can automatically broadcast its service
information and listen to the camera information from the other camera.
Figure 5-19 Bonjour Configuration Interface
If you do not know the network camera’s information, such as its IP address, you can use Bonjour’s
browser in the same LAN to search for and access network cameras. After the network camera is
detected by Bonjour, you can see the server name.

Multicast
Multicast is a transmission mode for data packets. When there are multiple hosts to receive the same
data packet, multiple cast (multicast) is the best option for reducing the bandwidth and the CPU load.
The source host can send out just one data packet. This function depends on the relationship between
group members and the router’s group.
In the
Multicast
configuration interface, you can set the multicast address and port.

You must go to the
Live
