2� In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your Network Camera is 192�168�0�3, please forward the following ports for the Network Camera on the router�

■ HTTP port: default is 80; secondary HTTP port is 8080

■ RTSP port: default is 554

■ RTP port for audio: default is 5558

■ RTCP port for audio: default is 5559

■ RTP port for video: default is 5556

■ RTCP port for video: default is 5557

If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, please open the ports accordingly on your router� For information on how to forward ports on the router, please refer to your router’s user’s manual�

3� Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)� Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the Network Camera from the Internet� Please refer to Network Type on page 59 for details�

For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:

When properly congured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP

request as follows: http://122�146�57�120:8000

If you change the port numbers on the Network conguration page, please open the ports

accordingly on your router� For example, you can open a management session with your

router to congure access through the router to the camera within your local network. Please consult your network administrator for router conguration if you have troubles with the conguration.

For more information with network conguration options (such as that of streaming ports),

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 or MPEG-4�

H.264 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of H�264 or MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast

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 68�

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 the UDP protocol�

: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams� However, network

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specic ports for

streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data through�

Local Streaming Buffer Time

Due to the unsteady bandwidth ow, the live streaming may lag and my not run very smoothly. If you

enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the cache memory of the PC having a web session with the camera for a few seconds before being played on the live viewing window� This helps you see the streaming more smoothly� If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds�
