1
Start the Web browser on your computer and type
the IP address of the camera you want to monitor.
The welcome page of the network camera is
displayed on the Web browser.
Display sample: SNC-DM160
Note
If the welcome page does not start correctly, the
security level of the Internet Explorer may be set to
higher than Medium. See “To display the welcome
page and the main viewer correctly” on page 13 and
check the security level.
2
Select the viewer.
You can select ActiveX viewer when the video
codec is MPEG4, and ActiveX viewer or Java
applet viewer when the video codec is JPEG.
With SNC-DM110 / DM160 / CM120
When you select an item including MPEG4 - OFF
on Image size (page 40) in the Video codec tab,
you can see the image only on JPEG.
3
When you select ActiveX viewer on MPEG4 in step
2, select the communication port for the video/
audio data.
Click to select TCP, UDP (unicast) or UDP
(multicast).
Normally select TCP.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected as the communication
port, 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 the video/audio by
selecting the TCP port.
UDP (unicast): When UDP (unicast) is selected as
the communication port, 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, the video/audio may not
play back properly when UDP (unicast) is
selected. In that case, select TCP.
UDP (multicast): This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming (page 45) is On. When
UDP (multicast) is selected as the
communications port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are
adopted for video/audio communications. By
selecting it, the network communications load of
the camera can be reduced. If a router that does
not correspond to the multicast or a firewall is
installed between the camera and the computer,
the video/audio may not play back properly. In
that case, select TCP or UDP (unicast).
Notes
• The function may not operate correctly when you
use personal firewall software or antivirus
