In RTSP streaming, the image from a single camera can be viewed simultaneously by up to five users.
You can set up to two video codec modes.
[Port Number]
Sets the port number to use for RTSP streaming. The default value is 554.
Changing the setting will reboot the RTSP server.
[Time Out]
Specifies the timeout time of the Keep-Alive command for RTSP streaming. The timeout time can be set in the range 0 seconds to 600 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.

The factory default value for Video Port Number 2 is 53000. Specify an even number in the range 1024 to 65534. The number set here and the subsequent odd number, obtained by adding 1, become the two port numbers used for image data communications and control.
[Video Port Number 1] and [Video Port Number 2] correspond to [Stream] > [Video Stream] > [Video Stream 1] and [Video Stream 2].
[Audio Port Number]
