Protocol Description
UDP
This protocol allows near real-time audio and video streams�
However, network packets may be lost due to network burst
trafc and images may be obscured.
Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-
sensitive responses and video quality is less important�
TCP
This protocol guarantees the delivery of streaming data and
thus provides better video quality�
Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that the real-
time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol for a
narrower bandwidth�
HTTP
This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and
the users don’t need to open specic port for streaming
under some network environment�
Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow
streaming data to come through�
