In Step b, choose the transmission protocol according to your network environment and the desired video quality. The characteristics of each protocol is shown in the following table.

Protocol

Description

 

This protocol allows near real-time audio and video streams.

UDP

However, network packets may be lost due to network burst

traffic and images may be obscured.

 

Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-

 

sensitive responses and video quality is less important.

 

This protocol guarantees the delivery of streaming data and

TCP

thus provides better video quality.

Nevertheless, the downside with this protocol is that the real-

 

time effect is worse than that with the UDP protocol for a

 

narrower bandwidth.

 

This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and

HTTP

the users don’t need to open specific port for streaming

under some network environment.

 

Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow

 

streaming data to come through.
