7.1.2 Network

7.1.2.1 Protocol Setting

You can transmit the data stream from the IP cameras using the UDP, TCP or HTTP protocol through
the remote/local network.
Select a protocol for the remote network and local network respectively. Click Apply to apply the
changes or Cancel to cancel the changes and return to the previous settings.
UDP: 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.
TCP: The TCP protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides

better video quality. However, the real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP: The HTTP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video

display. The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the
UDP protocol. By default, the camera is set up with HTTP for both remote and local network.
