load on the camera by making the computer of the same
segment network receive the same transmission data. When
multicast option is checked then select Video Port number,
Audio Port number and Data port number.

the multicast streaming. It is initially set to 6 666 and you
can edit this between 1 025 and 65 534.
- IPv4 address: Set the IP address for RTP multicast.
Note:
Each stream using multicast needs its own pair of multicast
IP address and port numbers to avoid address conflict.
TTL
> TTL: This option indicates the Time-To-Live of multicast
packets. The default setting is 7, and the allowed TTL range is
from 1 to 255.
