The IP Camera supports both TCP and UDP transmission forms. It also supplies basic authentication and digest authentication ways.The authentication process is similar with 3.2 Authentication.


For the RTSP port, it is 554 in default, If it was changed, please change the port number in the RTSP URL.


For the IPC, you can see the RTSP port in the Web page:
