Description
Delivers high definition video for real-time monitoring,
recording, and storage. Uses the most bandwidth.
Delivers low/standard definition video, typically for remote
monitoring in lower network bandwidth environments.
You can select the stream media protocol from the drop-
down list. There are three options: TCP, UDP, or Multicast.
TCP: Provides most reliable data transmission. Higher
latency and bandwidth use than UDP.
UDP: Provides fastest data transmission. Lower latency and
bandwidth use than TCP but allows some data loss (such as
dropped frames).
Multicast: Provides the most efficient use of bandwidth if
large numbers of clients are viewing the video
simultaneously.
