MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data� This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�

MPEG-4 Protocol Options

Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4 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 congured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP

Streaming on page 34�

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

HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and you don’t need to open specic port

for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow

streaming data to come through�
