Secondary Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to Secondary Stream.
QuickView Stream: To select this stream, click the button next to QuickView Stream.
3. Configure the display settings for the selected stream. Available display settings are determined by the video compression of the selected
stream:
• For the Primary or Secondary Stream, the video compression is H.264. You can also select Unicast or Multicast from the Transmission
drop-down menu.
• For the QuickView Stream, the video compression is JPEG.

PRIMARY STREAM AND SECONDARY STREAM
The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams
can be set up using a video configuration preset.
A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream
configuration, use the Video Streams tab.
QUICKVIEW STREAM
The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with a lower resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is available when
the settings are being configured.
The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high
resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.
The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream.
UNICAST
A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data
from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera
consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.
The camera supports a maximum of 6 simultaneous users.
MULTICAST
A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream. Each multicast user that connects to the
camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore, multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
