keeping audio, or have both video and audio present.

Most users should use the UDP protocol. Generally, the client

computer will automatically try these protocols in the following

order, UDP -> TCP.

After the client connects to the DCS-2120

successfully, the working protocol will be displayed in Protocol

Options. The chosen protocol will be saved in your PC and

used for the next connection. If the network environment is

changed or users want to let the Web browser automatically

detect the protocol, select UDP manually and click Save to

change the setting and return Home to reconnect with the

new setting.

Options:

UDP Protocol - Offers the highest image and video quality.

However, packet losses will diminish image quality when

bandwidth becomes restricted.

TCP Protocol - Packet loss is less likely to occur compared

to UDP when bandwidth is restricted.

HTTP Protocol : This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol and the users don’t need to open specific port

for streaming under some network environment. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data

to come through.

Allows you to specify where the video image will be saved on your local hard drive, when recording video directly from

the web interface.
