Client Settings
There are four settings for the client side.
Media Options - For the User to determine whether to receive video, audio or both.
Protocol Options – Which allows choosing on connection protocol between client and
server. There are two protocol choices to optimize your usage – UDP and HTTP.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
The HTTP protocol must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall which
allows only HTTP Port (80) to be opened. If there is no restriction, UDP protocol is
recommended. Generally speaking, the client’s choice will be in the order of UDP →
HTTP. After the Network Camera is connected successfully, “Protocol Options” will
indicate the selected protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC
and will be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or the
user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP protocol
and save, then return to HOME to connect to the Network Camera.
Streaming Options – For users to select the video streaming types. Select
“Streaming Video” options, the video connection will keep alive to enable you to see
smooth video, while “Single JPEG” options will let you see the video in JPEG format by
