Controlling Day/Night Function / Switching TCP/UDP Transmission Mode
21
Controlling Day/Night 
Function
You can control the Day/Night On (night mode) and Off 
(day mode). To use this function, you need to make Day/
Night
 active in the Trigger setting menu on the 
Administrator menu (page 48).
1
Monitor the image on the monitor window.
2
Select Day/Night from the Trigger list box.
3
Click  
 Trigger icon.
Each click switches the Day/Night between On 
(night mode) and Off (day mode) alternately.
Switching TCP/UDP 
Transmission Mode
You can select the communication port of the video/
audio data as TCP or UDP.
This function can be used when the Video mode 
(page 28) is set to MPEG4 and the ActiveX viewer is 
used.
1
Display the main viewer.
2
Click 
 TCP/UDP transmission selector icon.
Transmission mode selector dialog appears.
3
Click one of the buttons TCP, UDP (Unicast) or 
UDP (Multicast).
TCP: Usually select this.
When TCP is selected as the communication port, 
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio 
communication.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading a usual Web 
page.
In an environment capable of reading Web page, 
you can watch or listen to the video/audio by 
selecting  TCP port.
UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected 
as the communication port, RTP (Real-time 
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio 
communication. As RTP is the protocol for running 
video/audio data, video/audio can be played 
smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If the 
fire-wall is installed between the camera and the 
computer, or depending on the network 
environment, the video/audio may not played 
properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this 
case, select TCP.
UDP (Multicast): You can select this when the 
multicast streaming (page 28) is On. When UDP 
(Multicast)
 is selected as the transmission port, 
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP 
multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio 
transmission. By selecting it, the network 
transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If
