Stream Options
The Network Camera supports MPEG-4 and MJPEG dual streams� For more information,
please refer to Video settings on page 36�
MPEG-4 Media Options
Select to stream video or audio data� This works only when the video mode is set to MPEG-4�
MPEG-4 Protocol Options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes of MPEG-4
streaming:
UDP unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network
packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection
when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important� Note that each
unicast client connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the Network Camera allows up
to ten simultaneous accesses�
UDP multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients
requesting streaming media� This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the Network Camera
while serving multiple clients at the same time� Note that to utilize this feature, the Network Camera
must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, see RTSP
Streaming on page 34�
