The FTP server allows the user to save recorded video clips. You can utilize VIVOTEK Installation Wizard 2 to upgrade the firmware via FTP server. By default, the FTP port is set to 21. It can also be assigned to another port number between 1025 and 65535.
RTSP Streaming
To utilize RTSP streaming authentication, make sure that you have set a password for the Network Camera first; please refer to Security on page 35 for details.
Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three
types of security settings for streaming via RTSP protocol: disable, basic, and digest.
If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted. If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.
