    Video: By default, two video streams are enabled for the camera: Video 0 and Video 1. Both video streams are available for viewing from a client program such as FLIR Latitude, a stand-alone video player, or a third-party VMS (including ONVIF systems). To modify parameters that affect a particular IP Video stream from the camera, select the appropriate link (for example, Video - 0).

    Advanced Configuration The video streaming is done using a protocol generally referred to as Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), but there are actually many protocols involved, including Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). The default value for the stream from VIDEO - 0 is stream1/sensor1.
