G5 Mini
Network Protocols
The Arecont Vision SurroundVideo G5 mini cameras support RTSP, RTP/TCP, RTP/UDP, HTTP,
DHCP, TFTP, QoS, IP version 4 (IPv4), IP version 6 (IPv6), and 802.1x.
RTSP – Cameras communicate with video management systems over Real Time Streaming Protocol.
Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the default setting.
RTP/TCP – The Real-time Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is best suited for applications that
require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical.
RTP/UDP – The Real-time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol is used for live unicast video, especially
when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images are dropped.
HTTP – The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems.
DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally manage
and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP
address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server.
TFTP – The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a simple, lock-step, File Transfer Protocol which allows a
client to get from or put a file onto a remote host. TFTP lacks security and most of the advanced
features offered by more robust file transfer protocols such as File Transfer Protocol.
QoS – Quality of Service guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a
network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by
controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.
IPv4 – The SurroundVideo G5 Mini supports the IPv4 internet-layer protocol for packet-switched
internetworking across multiple IP networks. IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing which allows for devices and
users on the internet for routing traffic.
