1. RTSP streaming for easy integration RTSP Real time Streaming Protocol is a client server multimedia presentation control protocol which enables the interoperability of video devices and software Hardware or software that supports RTSP streaming can easily identify and decode the video stream without the hassle of codec installation For example users can view video images from the VPort 461 directly with Quick Time and VLC both of which support RTSP streaming Multicast IGMP transmission for network efficiency Transmitting digital video images via an IP network requires many times the bandwidth required for transmitting general data For this reason the efficiency of network bandwidth management is one of the most important factors that determine the performance of a video over IP surveillance system The VPort 461 Supports multicast transmission with the IGMP protocol which can reduce the bandwidth requirements when multiple clients access the same video stream and greatly increases the efficiency of network bandwidth management Easy web access using standard browsers There is no need to install new software to access the video encoder since the embedded web server allows users to use any popular web browser to access the video encoder from anywhere over the Internet As long as you are connected to the network you will be able to view the same images seen by your cameras Built in 3 area selectable Video Motion Detection VMD
