Stream Options
The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams
.
For more information,
please refer to Video settings section.
MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data. This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4.
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4
streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams
.
However,
network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate
UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less
important
.
Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth
and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.
UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all
clients requesting streaming media
.
This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the
Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time
.
Note that to utilize this feature,
the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For
more information, see RTSP Streaming section.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides
