Client Settings

This chapter explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer. When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings.

Clicking the Client Settings in Configuration Area of a Main Page, the following window is shown.

MPEG-4 Media Options

Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled 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 traffic 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 configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 55.

TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality. The downside of 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 without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.

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.
