Notes
• The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on
your computer. In that case, disable the software or
select the TCP mode.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
Windows Vista, or Windows 7, disable “Windows
Firewall”. For details, see “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows XP Service Pack
2 or later” on page 10, “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on page 13,
or “Configuring Windows Firewall” in “When using

Select
TCP
,
Unicast
or
Multicast
from the
Connection
drop-down list in the Others panel.
TCP:
This is normally selected.
When
TCP
is selected, HTTP communication is
adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the
TCP port.
Unicast:
When
Unicast
is selected, RTP (Real-
time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when
Unicast
is selected. In this case,
select
TCP
.
