Option

Description

 

 

Current Channel Area

 

 

 

Channel

Choose the video stream (Channel 1 or Channel 2) to which the

 

configuration settings in the Streaming Settings window apply. Channel 1 is

 

the primary stream and Channel 2 is the secondary stream.

 

 

Enable Channel

Check this check box to cause the IP camera to send audio/video data on the

 

selected stream.

 

 

Channel Name

Name of the video stream.

 

The name can contain up to 16 characters, which can be letters, numbers, and

 

special characters, but no spaces. Special characters are: ! % ( ) + , - : = @ _ ~

 

 

Streaming Setup Area

 

Note These options apply to the primary stream only.

 

 

 

 

Enable SRTP

Check this check box to enable Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP),

 

 

 

 

 

which provides encryption for the audio/video stream from the IP camera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RTSP Port

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port on which the IP camera receives

 

 

 

 

 

Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) commands. You must configure this

 

 

 

 

 

port if you want to allow third-party devices or software to access video

 

 

 

 

 

streams from the IP camera.

 

 

 

 

 

RTSP is a standard for connecting a client to control streaming data over the

 

 

 

 

 

web.

 

 

 

 

 

Valid values are 554 and 1024 through 65535. The default port is 554.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Video Source Port

Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP) port on which the IP camera transmits

 

 

 

 

 

Video Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) data.

 

 

 

 

 

Valid values are even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default port is 1024.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Audio Source Port

UDP port on which the IP camera transmits audio RTP data

 

 

 

 

 

Valid values even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default value is 1026.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Max RTP Packet Size

Maximum number of bytes per data packets that are sent in each RTP

 

 

 

 

 

request.

 

 

 

 

 

Configure a lower number if you are streaming video to a cell phone that

 

 

 

 

 

requires smaller data packets.

 

 

 

 

 

Valid values are 400 through 1400. The default value is 1400.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable Multicast

Check this check box to send video and audio data as a multicast stream.

 

 

 

 

 

When multicast is enabled, the IP camera sends video and audio to the

 

 

 

 

 

multicast addresses that you designate. Multicast enables several devices to

 

 

 

 

 

receive the video signal from the IP camera simultaneously.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multicast Address

Enter the multicast IP address on which the IP camera sends a multicast

 

 

 

 

 

audio/video stream.
