The characteristics of each protocol are shown in the following table:

c� Click Detect Model to detect the model name and MAC address of the device�

d� The model name and MAC address of the device will automatically be displayed in the respective

elds if the connection is successful. Specify the channel index for a multi-channel video server and

the recommended monitoring and recording stream for a camera� If the camera does not support dual

streams, these two elds will be disabled.

e� If you want to make sure you are connected to the correct device, click Connection Test to preview

Protocol Description

UDP

This protocol allows for near real-time audio and video streams� However, network packets may

be lost due to network burst trafc and images may be obscured.

Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and video quality is

less important�

TCP

This protocol guarantees the delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality�

The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with UDP for a

narrower bandwidth�

HTTP

This protocol allows for the same quality as TCP and the users need not open a specic port for

streaming under some network environment�

Users inside a rewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.

HTTPS

This protocol enables authentication and encrypted communication over SSL (Secure Socket

Layer), which protects streaming data transmission over the Internet on higer security level�
