Multicast - Honeywell Performance Series User Manual

If you do not know the network camera's information, such as its IP address, you can use
Bonjour's browser in the same LAN to search for and access network cameras. After the
network camera is detected by Bonjour, you can see the server name.

Multicast

Multicast is a transmission mode for data packets. When there are multiple hosts to receive the
same data packet, multiple cast (multicast) is the best option for reducing the bandwidth and
the CPU load. The source host can send out just one data packet. This function depends on the
relationship between group members and the router's group.
In the Multicast configuration interface, you can set the multicast address and port.
