Client settings 

At the initial access to the “Connection type” page in Windows, the web browser will ask 

for a new plug-in installation, the plug-in being the Network Camera. This plug-in has 

been registered for certification and can be used to change the parameters at the 

client’s site.    The user may click on 

  to install the plug-in. If the web browser 

does not allow the user to complete the installation, check the Internet security to 

lower the security level or contact your IT or networking supervisor. 

There are two settings for the client side. One is “Media Option” for users to 

determine if audio should be muted. The other is “Protocol Option” which allows 

choices on connection protocol between client and server. There are three protocols 

choices to optimize your usage - UDP, TCP and HTTP. 

The UDP protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, some 

packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be obscured.   

The TCP protocol allows for less packet loss and produces a more accurate video display. 

The downside with this protocol is that the real-time effect is worse than that with the
