Video transmission
If the unit is operated behind a firewall, TCP (HTTP port) should be selected as the transfer
protocol. For use in a local network, select UDP.
Remote port
Depending on the network configuration, select a browser port here. The ports for HTTPS
connections will be available only if the On option is selected in the SSL encryption
parameter.
Video output
If you know which unit is being used as the receiver, you can select the analog video output to
which the signal should be switched. If the destination unit is unknown, it is advisable to
select the First available option. In this case, the image is placed on the first free video
output. This is an output on which there is no signal. The connected monitor only displays
images when an alarm is triggered. If you select a particular video output and a split image is
set for this output on the receiver, you can also select from Decoder the decoder in the
receiver that is to be used to display the alarm image.
Decoder
Select a decoder of the receiver to display the alarm image. The decoder selected has an
impact on the position of the image in a split screen. For example, you can specify via a VIP XD
that the upper-right quadrant should be used to display the alarm image by selecting decoder
2.
SSL encryption
The data for the connection, for example the password, can be securely transmitted with SSL
encryption. If you have selected the On option, only encrypted ports are offered in the
Remote port parameter.
You can activate and configure encryption of the media data (video, audio and metadata) on
the Encryption page (see Section 10.56 Advanced Mode: Encryption, page 115).
Auto-connect
Select the On option to automatically re-establish a connection to one of the previously
specified IP addresses after each reboot, after a connection breakdown or after a network
failure.
CAUTION!
Please note that in some circumstances, a larger bandwidth must be available on the network
for additional video images in the event of an alarm, in case Multicast operation is not
possible. To enable Multicast operation, select the UDP option for the Video transmission
parameter here and on the Network page (see Page 110).
NOTICE!
Refer to the destination unit documentation concerning image display options and available
video outputs.
NOTICE!
Please note that the SSL encryption must be activated and configured at both ends of a
connection. This requires the appropriate certificates to be uploaded onto the IP AutoDome
(see Page 116).
