Multicast

Setting

Description

Multicast

Check to enable multicast streaming.Please note that you can enable it only in single streaming mode!

Multicast On-Demand

Check to enable on-demand multicast streaming. The multicast stream will only be active when requested by a client.

If multicast streaming is enabled and on-demand multicast streaming is disabled, the camera begins streaming to the multicast IP address as soon as multicast streaming is enabled and continues to stream to the multicast address until multicast streaming is disabled.

If multicast streaming and on-demand multicast streaming are both enabled, the camera begins streaming to the multicast IP address when the first client issues an RTSP PLAY request.

Multicast IP

Specifies the destination IP address for multicasting (224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255).

Multicast Port

Specifies the destination port for multicasting (1 to 65535).

Multicast TTL

Sets the time to live for multicast packets (1 to 255).

The multicast Time-To-Live (TTL) value specifies the number of routers (hops) that multicast traffic is permitted to pass through before expiring on the network.
