UPnP

Enable/Disable  When enabled, the Camera’s Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows a UPnP-enabled computer to easily detect the Camera. The Camera’s UPnP feature is disabled by default. If your computer is UPnP- enabled, select this option.

Alternate Access Web Port

Enable/Disable  If you want the Camera to be able to use an alternate port for communications, select this option. Then, enter the desired port number in the range from 1024 to 65534 in the Port Number field. The default port number is 1024.

If you already have a Web Server on your LAN, then you should enable the Alternate Port and use this port number instead of port 80.

RTSP/RTP

The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol that establishes and manages multimedia sessions between a media server and a client. The media data format in these sessions is defined by the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). You can view a Camera’s live video stream using various multimedia player applications such as QuickTime, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player,

or using a mobile phone that supports RTSP. To do this, first configure the RTSP/RTP settings in this section as needed, then open the multimedia player, then point the player to the appropriate URL listed below (where <Camera IP Address> is the IP address of the Camera you want to view).

•• QuickTime or RealPlayer:

rtsp://< Camera IP Address>/img/video.sav

•• Windows Media Player: rtsp://<Camera IP Address>/img/video.asf

•• Mobile phone with RTSP support: rtsp://<Camera IP Address>/img/video.asf

RTSP Port  To change the RTSP Port number, enter the desired number in the range of 1024 to 65535. The default is 554.

RTP Data Port  To change the RTP Data Port, enter the desired number in the range of 1024-65514,even values only.

Max RTP Data Packet  To change the maximum length of RTP data packets, enter the desired maximum length in the range of 400 to 1400.

Multicast RTSP/RTP

Multicast RTP/RTSP allows a large number of clients to see the camera’s media stream while conserving bandwidth. This is accomplished by sending the camera’s media stream to a single multicast address for each client to retrieve, instead of directly sending a copy of the media stream to each client.

Enable/Disable  Select Enable to enable the Multicast RTP/RTSP feature, or Disable to disable the feature.

Video Address  To change the Video Address, enter the new address in the field provided. The default Video Address, 224.2.0.1, can be used for multicasting and does not normally need to be reconfigured. If this address needs to be changed, contact your network administrator.

Video Port  To change the Video Port, enter the new port number (even values only, from 1024 to 65534) in the field provided. The default Video Port, 2240, can be used for multicasting and does not normally need to be reconfigured. If this port number needs to be changed, contact your network administrator.

Audio Address  To change the Audio Address, enter the new address in the field provided. The default Audio Address 224.2.0.1, can be used for multicasting and does not normally need to be reconfigured. If this address needs to be changed, contact your network administrator.
