Set the video and audio transmission using RTP.
RTP Server
Enable RTP, and set the RTSP authentication method and port number.
[RTP]
Select this to enable or disable RTP.
[RT SP Authentication Method]
Select an authentication method for RTSP. Since the RTSP aut hentication method is configured independently of the HTTP 
authentication method, you need to  configure each authentication method.
[RT SP Port]
Enter the RTSP port number.
Normally use [554] (factory default setting).
Audio Multicast  
Set multicast for audio transmission.
[Multicast Address]
Enter the multicast ad dress for audio transmission as follows.
IPv4: Range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
IPv6: Address starting with ff00::/8
Set IPv4 to [0.0.0.0]  and IPv6 to [::0 (::)] to disable multicast.
[Multicast Port]
Enter the multicast port nu mber for audio transmission.
If set to [0], multicast is disabled.
[Multicast TTL]
Enter the effective range for multicast transmission.
If set to [0], multicast is disabled.
The TTL (Time To Live), representing t he effective range for multicast transmission , is decremented each time the signal 
passes through a router. When the value reaches 0, the signal  can no longer pass through the router and be transmitted.
For example, if TTL is set to [1], multicast transmission is  confined to the local segment only and cannot pass through the 
router to be transmitted.

RTP Streaming 1 to 5
You can set each stream for RTP stream transmission in an RTP Streaming 1 to RTP Streaming 5 session.
[Video  Size]
Select the video format (JPEG or H.264 ) and video size for the RTP stream.
The video sizes for JPEG will vary depending on the [Video Size Set] settings (P. 72).
The video sizes for H.264 will be determined according to the  [H.264(1)] and [H.264(2)] settings in [Video Settings] (P. 73).
In addition, [H.264(1)] and [H.264(2)]  cannot be set for multiple RTP streams.
[Frame Rate]
Enter the frame rate if the RTP stream is JPEG video.
This cannot be set for H.264 video. The  [Frame Rate] setting in [Video Settings] > [H.264(1)] or [H.264(2)] will be used.
[Multicast Address]
Enter the multicast  address for RTP streaming as follows.
IPv4: Range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
IPv6: Address starting with ff00::/8
Enter [0.0.0.0] for IPv4 and [::0(::)] for IPv6 to disable multicast.
[Multicast Port]
Enter the multicast port  number for RTP streaming.
If set to [0], multicast is disabled.
[Multicast TTL]
Enter the effective range for multicast transmission of RTP streams.
If set to [0], multicast is disabled.
The TTL (Time To Live), representing t he effective range for multicast transmission , is decremented each time the signal 
passes through a router. When the value reaches 0, the signal  can no longer pass through the router and be transmitted.
For example, if TTL is set to [1], multicast transmission is  confined to the local segment only and cannot pass through the 
router to be transmitted.
[Audio Transmission] 
Select whether to use audio transmission for RTP streaming.
Note
 RTP Streaming URL rtsp://Address:Port Number/rtpstream/config1(to 5)=r|u|m
[=r|u|m] is optional and can be omitte d. If specified, specify only one option.
r: Requests RTP over TCP
u: Requests RTP over UDP
m: Requests multicast
Example: RTP Streaming 1 request using RTP over TCP
rtsp://192.168.100.1:554/rtpstream/config1=r
Caution: Note that the actual operation is dependent on the RTP  client application, so the URL does not necessarily specify the  method 
used for transmission.
 When H.264 is selected, bit rate control and video  quality are each set with [Video Settings] (P. 73).
 The [Video Distribution] and [Audio Distri bution] settings in [Security] > [User Restrictions] > [User Authority] are not used for RTP.
 RTP streaming video may not be viewable on systems using a prox y server or firewall. If this occurs, contact your system admin istrator.
 If Host Access Restrictions are applied to a client while it is  streaming using RTP over UDP, it may take from a few to tens o f seconds 
until streaming ceases.

Settings for uploading video via HTTP or FTP when an event is triggered.
Use [Server] > [Server Settings] (P. 89) to configure  HTTP server and FTP server settings for uploading.
Video Record Setting
When an event is triggered, sets  whether to upload camera video with HTTP or FTP or to record the video to a memory card.
These can also be set with the [Memory Card] submenu (P. 101 ) and will be reflected in [Video Record Setting] here.
[Video Record Action]
Select [Upload] to upload video.
General Upload
Sets the upload method an d video format for upload.
HTTP and FTP Upload Settings
[Video Record] > [Upload]
Important
 The following settings are necessary to use the upload function or recording to the memory card.
– [Video Record] settings configured with [Timer] in the [Event] menu.
– [Video Record] settings configured with each of the [Event] menu s ([External Device], [Audio Detection] and [Linked Events]). 
– The setting in the [Event] tab of the Intelligent Function Setting Tool (P. 227). 
 When using the upload function, or recording to the memory car d, do not change the settings in the [Setting Page]. Doing so may 
result in the upload function or the recording to memory card to stop.
 If you are using HTTP or FTP upload, and  e-mail notification by text and video, set [Video Settings] > [JPEG] > [Video Size: U pload / 
Memory card] (P. 73) to a small size.
 HTTP upload does not support SSL/TLS.
 If the camera is set to upload or send e-mail notification continuously, not all video or e-mail s may be sent depending on the video size 
and the network condition to the server. If this  occurs, a message is written to the log (P. 134).
 If the destination for HTTP or FTP upload, or e-mail notificat ion is set for a Windows operating system, IPsec communication i s not 
supported.

settings to reduce the size and frequency of uploaded data.
 Set a lower value for [Video Size: Upload / Memory card] for [JPEG] (P. 73).
 Reduce the number of frames or seconds in [Pre -event Buffer] or [Post-event Buffer] (P. 97).
 If [Volume Detection Event] is enabled, di sable [ON Event Operation], [OFF Event Operation] or [Ongoi ng ON Event Operation] (P. 107).
