environment or router setting will be required.

multicast transmission, and the router settings can be dynamically changed.
2 If the router does not support IGMP Ver2, a static route for multicast must be set to the
router.
• When there are multiple cameras on the same subnet that are set to the multicast mode, set
up a network using a Hub that supports the IGMP snooping feature.
