Switching Transmission Mode

Switching Transmission
Mode
You can change the transmission mode for video/audio
data.
This function can be used when Mode (video codec
mode) is set to MPEG4 or H.264 and the ActiveX
viewer is used.
Notes
• The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on
your computer. In that case, disable the software or
select the TCP mode.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
Windows Vista, or Windows 7, disable "Windows
Firewall". For details, see "Configuring Windows
Firewall" in "When using Windows XP Service Pack
2 or later" on page 10, "Configuring Windows
Firewall" in "When using Windows Vista" on page 13,
or "Configuring Windows Firewall" in "When using
Windows 7" on page 15.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Others panel.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is
adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the
TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Real-
time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,
select TCP.
