Toshiba IK-WD12A instruction

RTSP port /RTP port for video, audio/ RTCP port for video, audio

■RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) controls the delivery of streaming media. By default, the port number is set to 554.

■The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used to deliver video and audio data to the clients. By default, the RTP port for video is set to 5556 and the RTP port for audio is set to 5558.

■The RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol) allows the Network Camera to transmit the data by monitoring the Internet traffic volume. By default, the RTCP port for video is set to 5557 and the RTCP port for audio is set to 5559.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The RTP port must be an even number and the RTCP port is the RTP port number plus one, and thus is always an odd number. When the RTP port changes, the RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the RTP ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast settings for stream 1 ~ 5: Click the items to display the detailed configuration information. Select the Always multicast option to enable multicast for stream 1 ~ 5.

Unicast video transmission delivers a stream through point-to-point transmission; multicast, on the other hand, sends a stream to the multicast group address and allows multiple clients to acquire the stream at the same time by requesting a copy from the multicast group address. Therefore, enabling multicast can effectively save Internet bandwith.

The ports can be changed to values between 1025 and 65535. The multicast RTP port must be an even number and the multicast RTCP port number is the multicast RTP port number plus one, and thus is always odd. When the multicast RTP port changes, the multicast RTCP port will change accordingly.

If the multicast RTP video ports are incorrectly assigned, the following warning message will be displayed:

Multicast TTL [1~255]: The multicast TTL (Time To Live) is the value that tells the router the range a packet can be forwarded.

IK-WD12A specifications

The Toshiba IK-WD12A is a high-performance network camera designed to meet the surveillance needs of a variety of environments, including commercial, industrial, and retail settings. This model stands out in the competitive market of IP cameras due to its robust set of features and advanced technologies, making it a reliable choice for users seeking security solutions.

One of the primary features of the IK-WD12A is its high-definition video resolution. With the capability to deliver up to 720p (1280x720) video, this camera ensures clear and detailed images, allowing for effective monitoring and identification of subjects. The camera's 1/4-inch CMOS sensor is designed to perform well under different lighting conditions, making it suitable for both day and night surveillance.

Another key characteristic of the IK-WD12A is its wide dynamic range (WDR) technology. This feature enhances image quality in scenes with varying light levels, preventing overexposure and underexposure. As a result, users can expect consistent and clear video footage in challenging lighting conditions, such as during dawn or dusk when the contrast between shadows and bright light can be significant.

The Toshiba IK-WD12A is equipped with multiple streaming capabilities, allowing users to access video feeds simultaneously on different devices. This is particularly useful for security personnel who may need to monitor several locations at once. The camera supports H.264 compression, which reduces file sizes while maintaining video quality, ensuring efficient storage and bandwidth usage.

Another significant advantage of the IK-WD12A is its ease of installation and integration into existing security systems. The camera is compatible with various network protocols and can be easily connected to a range of software platforms, enabling users to customize their surveillance setup according to their needs.

In terms of design, the IK-WD12A is compact and versatile, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its sturdy construction is resistant to harsh environmental conditions, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging settings.

Overall, the Toshiba IK-WD12A network camera combines high-quality video performance, advanced imaging technologies, and user-friendly features, making it a solid choice for those looking to enhance their security infrastructure.
