DSCP (Different Service Code Point) is a 6-bit IP header which defines the service level of the packet. According to the DSCP value, routers with PHB (Per-Hop Behavior) will define a specific class of traffic for the packet, in terms of bandwidth, latency, or loss rate, etc.
  • Page 26 The HTTP port is basically provided for device’s webpage access. When the video format is set to MJPEG, user is able to retrieve the live video via HTTP URL, e.g. Http://<ip_address>/operator/get_video.cgi?channel=[1, 2] , where channel is to specify stream1 or stream2 RTSP port: RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is used to control the live media streaming.
