Client Settings - LevelOne FCS-3000 User Manual

Client Settings

There are four settings for the client side.
Media Options - For the User to determine whether to receive video, audio or
both.
Protocol Options – Which allows choosing on connection protocol between client
and server. There are two protocol choices to optimize your usage – UDP and HTTP.
The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.
The HTTP protocol must be selected if the network is protected by a firewall which
allows only HTTP Port (80) to be opened. If there is no restriction, UDP protocol is
recommended. Generally speaking, the client's choice will be in the order of UDP →
HTTP. After the Network Camera is connected successfully, "Protocol Options" will
indicate the selected protocol. The selected protocol will be recorded in the user's PC
and will be used for the next connection. If the network environment is changed, or
the user wants to let the web browser to detect again, manually select the UDP
protocol and save, then return to HOME to connect to the Network Camera.
Streaming Options – For users to select the video streaming types. Select
"Streaming Video" options, the video connection will keep alive to enable you to see
smooth video, while "Single JPEG" options will let you see the video in JPEG format
by client periodic update the JPEG image from server according to the "Frame rate"
settings.
