This section explains how to select the stream transmission mode and saving options on the local computer.
When completed with the settings on this page, click Save on the page bottom to enable the settings.

H.264 media options
Select to stream video or audio data or both. This is enabled only when the video mode is set to H.264.
H.264 protocol options
Depending on your network environment, there are four transmission modes for H.264 streaming:
UDP Unicast: This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams. However, network packets may be lost due to network burst traffic and images may be broken. Activate UDP connection when occasions require time-sensitive responses and the video quality is less important. Note that each unicast client
connecting to the server takes up additional bandwidth and the KX-NTV150/KX-NTV160 allows up to ten simultaneous accesses.
UDP Multicast: This protocol allows multicast-enabled routers to forward network packets to all clients requesting streaming media. This helps to reduce the network transmission load of the KX-NTV150/
KX-NTV160 while serving multiple clients at the same time. Note that to utilize this feature, the KX-NTV150/
KX-NTV160 must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more information, please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 86.
TCP: This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and thus provides better video quality.
The downside of this protocol is that its real-time effect is not as good as that of the UDP protocol.
HTTP: This protocol allows the same quality as TCP protocol without needing to open specific ports for streaming under some network environments. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through.
MP4 saving options
Users can record live video as they are watching it by clicking Start MP4 Recording on the main page. Here you can specify the storage destination and file name.
Folder: Specify a storage destination for the recorded video files.
File name prefix: Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the video file name.
Add date and time suffix to file name: Select this option to append the date and time to the end of the file name.
CLIP_20150625-180853
File name prefix Date and time suffix
the format is: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
Local streaming buffer time
Due to the unsteady bandwidth flow, the live streaming may lag and not be very smooth. If you enable this option, the live streaming will be stored on the cache memory of the PC having a web session with the KX-NTV150/KX-NTV160 for a few seconds before being played on the live viewing window. This helps you see the streaming more smoothly. If you enter 3000 Millisecond, the streaming will delay for 3 seconds.
