Notice!
To use the UPnP function on a computer, both the Universal Plug and Play Device Host and
SSDP Discovery Service must be active in Windows XP and Windows 7.
This function should not be used in large installations because of the variety of potential
registration notifications.
Audio / Video / Control / Alarm video
The quality of service of the different data channels can be set by defining the DiffServ Code
Point (DSCP). Enter a number between 0 and 252 as a multiple of four. For alarm video you
can set a higher priority than for regular video.
Post-alarm time
You can define a post-alarm time over which this priority is maintained.
Click Set to apply the changes.

Multicast

The camera can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal simultaneously. The
stream is either duplicated and then distributed to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast), or it is
sent as a single stream to the network, where it is simultaneously distributed to multiple
receivers in a defined group (Multicast).
Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses UDP and the Internet
Group Management protocol (IGMP V2). The network must support group IP addresses. Other
group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast
connections.
A special IP address from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (class D address) must be configured
for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network. The multicast address can be the same
for multiple streams, however, it is necessary to use a different port in each case.
The settings must be made individually for each stream. Enter a dedicated multicast address
and port for each stream. Switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.
Enable
Enable simultaneous data reception on receivers that need to activate the multicast function.
To do this, check the box and enter the multicast address.
Multicast Address
Enter a valid multicast address to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data
stream in the network).
With a 0.0.0.0 setting, the encoder for the stream operates in multi-unicast mode (copying of
data stream in device). The camera supports multi-unicast connections for up to five
simultaneously connected receivers.
Duplication of data places a heavy demand on the CPU and can lead to impairment of the
image quality under certain circumstances.
Port
Enter the port address for the stream here.
