Main Stream
,
Sub Stream 1
, or
Sub Stream 2
.
Main Stream
Delivers high definition video for real-time monitoring, recording,
and storage. Uses the most bandwidth.
Sub Stream 1
Delivers low/standard definition video, typically for remote
monitoring in lower network bandwidth environments.

TCP
,
UDP
, or

TCP
Provides most reliable data transmission. Higher latency and band
width use than UDP.

than TCP but allows some data loss (such as dropped frames).

are viewing the video simultaneously.
