MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four choices of transmission modes for MPEG-4 streaming:

UDP unicast :

packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured� Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and 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 :

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, see RTSP Streaming on page 33�

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