you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting
the TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected as the
communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,

Authentication server
An authentication server has a database of connecting
users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.
It can also be called RADIUS server.
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA issues and manages certificates of the
authentication server (CA certificates) and user
certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based
user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an
authentication server.
Note
This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant
and the server authenticate using the certificate. This
mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

EAP identity
Type the user name to identify the client in the 802.1X
authentication server using 3 to 253 characters.
EAP password
A supplicant EAP password is needed to be inputted
when PEAP is selected with EAP condition. The
password can contain half-width letters and the length
should be between 1 to 50.
