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 choiceschoosing 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.
