Streaming function

You can perform live streaming of audio and video from the camera over the network (wired LAN, wireless LAN, 4G/LTE).
Streaming video from the camera or an application software (e.g. P2 Browser, P2 Streaming Receiver) of a device connected to the camera through a
network is transmitted to a server capable of receiving such signal.
There are two ways to start streaming: streaming from an application software and streaming from the camera.
@ NOTE
t To display the streaming video in the P2 Browser, start the streaming distribution by operation from the application software. The streaming video
cannot be displayed when operated from the camera.

Setting the network connection

The network settings of the camera are configured according to the settings of application software.
For details on the network connection when starting streaming from the camera or an application software such as P2 Streaming Receiver, refer to
"Connection settings for the streaming function" (page 188).
