Port (or range)
Protocol
Description
554 to 554+(x-1)
TCP
For RTSP/TCP and RTSP/HTTP streaming on your network (where x is the
number of channels configured). The number of ports used depends on
how many channels you have with RTSP streaming enabled. See
content using HTTP, HTTPS or RTSP
. Note that client video players choose
whether they are using RTSP/TCP, RTSP/HTTP or RTSP/UDP.
Ports 554 and 555 are also used for internal communications. If
streaming is disabled, these ports remain open but refuse all external
connection requests.
Random in range
32768 - 61000
UDP
If the client video player chooses RTSP/UDP, it will negotiate 4 random
UDP ports (two for audio and two for video). The port range is dependent
on the OS of the client video player and can change with updates to that
OS.

UDP
UPnP server for UPnP discovery, if enabled. See
Random in range
