Client Settings

This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings.

H.264 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.

H.264 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four options with the transmission protocols with H.264 streaming:

UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.

UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 63.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of using the UDP protocol.

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for streaming under some network environments. Users behind a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow camera’s streaming data to pass through.

Two way audio

The half and Full-duplex modes determine the operation mode between the camera and the operator. In Full-duplex mode, the client PC must have an audio codec capable of full-duplex functionality.

Folder: Specify a storage destination for the recorded video les.

File name prex: Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the video le name.

Add date and time sufx to the le name: Select this option to append the date and time to the end of the le name.

Local Streaming Buffer Time

Due to unsteady bandwidth ow, live streaming may lag. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be cached on the camera’s buffer memory before being played on the live viewing window. This helps produce smoother live streaming. If you enter a value of 3000 milliseconds, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
