The port settings all relate to camera ports. If streaming outside of a LAN (e.g. to
the internet), then routers on both the camera and client side need to provide
necessary access for these ports.
The camera will stream via HTTP by default, which will use the HTTP port as
defined in the System – Generic Settings (80 by default). Streaming via HTTP
often requires little or no router configuration.
If the client application uses RTP over RTSP/TCP, then the camera will stream
using the RTSP Port, 554 by default.
RTP over UDP will stream using the RTP Video Port, starting at 6002 and can
increment
Video and audio server ports only need be changed if a network has security or
operational restrictions using these ports. In most cases, the RTP/RTCP video
and audio should use the default values.
While the RTP/RTCP audio/video ports by default are 6002-6005, this represents
the starting point for client connections. If 1 client is connected, then this
connection would use 6002-6005, but a 2
nd
connection would then use 6006-6009.
This may require proper router configuration if using the web UI outside of a
LAN.
Maximum Viewers refers to concurrent uses. Connections beyond this value will
receive an error upon connection.
Multicasting allows sending a message or data to a group via a single message.
The multicasting parameters are only for configuring a camera to use
