13.9. Port Forwarding & UPnP
UPnP(Universal Plug and Play)is a kind of network protocol to help users to find and configure
network products in the same local network area. Port forwarding is to assign a certain network
port to a network product so users can access it from outside of the Local Area Network. Generally,
port forwarding can be configured from the network router.
UPnP port forwarding is made up with finding an available network port, assigning it to a VITEK
camera and reporting overall network configuration of a VITEK camera to IP-CCTV DNS server.
Users have to register products into IPCCTVDNS server and IP-CCTV DNS service should be
enabled.
There are 3 options in UPnP Port Forwarding.
• Manual: User Assigned Port issued when users can access network router (hub) and
manually assign available network ports to VITEK cameras. In this case, users have to type
already-assigned network ports under User Assigned port.
• UPnP: User Assigned Port is used when users want VITEK cameras to configure port
forwarding of network hub with user-assigned network port. If it fails, try to change userassigned port
• UPnP: Auto Selected Port is used to let VITEK cameras deal with all network configurations
automatically.
Please note that the network router needs to support UPnP Port Forwarding. There is a limit for the
maximum number of UPnP devices. If it is properly configured, results will be displayed under
UPnP status.

RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is a protocol to transfer video and audio streams over the
network. Any application supporting Standard RTSP can be used for VITEK cameras. Quick Time
Player or VLC program can be used with this; it may not be supported in the environment within a
firewall. There are two types of usage; one for Unicast address condition and the other for
Multicast address condition.
For Unicast Address:
Use “rtsp://network video server ip address/cam0_0”. If there are multiple channels, use
cam0_x, x (0~3) with each number applied. If there are multiple modules, use camx_0 x (0 ~ 3)
with each module number applied.
For Multicast Address:
Use “rtsp://network video server ip address/mcam0_0”. If there are multiple channels, use
mcam0_x, x (0~3) with each channel number applied. If there are multiple modules, use mcamx_0
x (0 ~ 3) with each module number applied.

Click Camera & Motion on Device Configuration menu. The configuration menu will be
displayed, and it may be different between VITEK cameras.
• M-JPEG: This format requires much higher network bandwidth than H.264 compression. But
because of its higher quality of still image, it is adequate for detailed reviewing of stored video.
• H.264: In this format, each frame data is related to other nearby frames. For this reason, it
provides much higher compression ratio than M-JPEG and is adequate for video transfer.
However, if network conditions are limited dropped frames in video data is possible, the video
quality can be relatively low. With VITEK Cameras, you can set the number of P-frames in the
video which is independent still images between I-frames.
You can configure the video data format and other information to be contained in it.
