Parameters
Description
Search Server Port2
Select the second port used by server search applications to
detect this IP device (e.g. IP Utility).
Control Server Port
Select the port used to support video control function by
application programs (e.g. NVR).
Streaming Server Port
Select the port used by this IP device for Video Streaming (TCP).
RTSP Server Port
Select the port assigned for RTSP protocol access.
Multicast Setting
allows users to configure the IP addresses and ports for multicast video and
audio (supported models only) streams. Multicast is a protocol where a data stream is sent
only once and shared to requesting devices. This in turn saves network bandwidth. However,
to use this feature, network devices, such as routers and switches, should support IP multicast.
Parameters
Description
Stream 1
Refers to the video stream 1.
Stream 2
Refers to the video stream 2.
Audio
Refers to the audio stream.
Appears only if the camera model supports audio
input/output.
By Request
When checked, the video or audio stream will be streamed only to
a particular receiver when that receiver sends a request or in the
case of the Network Video Recorder (NVR), select to view or
record the stream. If unchecked, the video or audio stream will
constantly be streamed to the network whether there are devices
viewing the video or not. To save on network bandwidth, it is
recommended to check this function.
Multicast IP
Set the multicast IP of the corresponding stream.
Network Port
Enter the assigned port for the corresponding stream.
Multicast TTL
Enter the multicast TTL (time-to-live) of the corresponding stream.
This value determines the time span (in seconds) when the packet
is retained in the network. When the time expires and no request
is received, the packet is then discarded.
After changing any of the items above, press

3.7.3 HTTPS
HTTPS
protocol allows creating a secure channel over an insecure network in order to protect
the data sent between the camera and its counterpart. Two things are required to have a
secure communication – encrypted data, and verified counterpart of the communication. To
make sure that the messages are being sent and received from true counterpart, the certificate
is needed.
