Broadcasting
Broadcasting allows you to share captured video and audio among Internet users or within local area network.
You can broadcast in several ways:
1. Remote Access - allows other computers to access the camera using the ReCam program. The program uses
UDP protocol to push captured images and sound to viewers' computers.
2. HTTP Server - the program runs HTTP server allowing users to view captured images through an Internet
Browser.
3. FTP Upload - the program uploads captured images to a web server using FTP protocol. Viewers point
Internet browsers to your web site and watch the captured images.
4. Copy Captured Images - the program copies captured images into a folder on your computer in order to use
them with other software.
To select the Broadcasting type
Click Broadcast Settings from the Settings menu.
Select the Broadcasting tab.
Click to select the appropriate check box.
Remote Access
Remote Access allows you to
receive video and audio on remote computers with
very high quality and frame rate.
Viewers must use the ReCam program to access the
camera and the camera computer
must be visible from the Internet (unlike the FTP
Upload method).
Click to select the Remote Access
check box in the Broadcasting tab to enable access
to this camera from other
computers. Another copy of ReCam should be
installed on the remote computer in
order to have Remote Access.
Set up the remote access Frame Rate and the UDP
Port value. ReCam uses the Port
value to receive requests from remote computers. The
Port must be available, meaning it's
not used by other programs and it's not used by other
cameras in ReCam.
Click the Check the Port
Availability button to make sure the port is not used
by other programs.
If you want to have Remote Access
to the camera from outside your local network (from Internet), make sure that the port and IP address of your
computer are opened in the firewall.
Click the Additional Settings button to configure Remote Access.
The content of remote access is managed by the Enable Video Stream and Enable Audio Stream buttons.
If you want to control the number of remote clients, click to select the Limit Viewers check box and enter the
maximum number of viewers that can be connected to the camera. When the maximum is reached, viewers will
receive message: "Administrator has limited the number of camera viewers. Please try again later."
Transferred video and audio data can be encrypted for security reason. Select the encryption type from the Use
Encryption to Transfer Data list.
You can restrict access to the camera by user name and password. Click to select the Use Authorization check
box, and click the Add button to grant access to this camera to a user or group. Only selected users and users
belonging to selected groups will have access to the camera. Viewers must enter a valid name and password in
order to connect to the camera.
