Note: After you click OK, fields highlighted with a red exclamation point indicate rejected
values. Place your mouse pointer over the exclamation points for tips on why your
values were invalid. All fields must be valid to successfully add a device.
• Enter a Device Title. Values are alphanumeric.
• Select the appropriate Device Type from the drop-down menu.
• Based on your device type, you may need to select a Streaming Type. For some
devices, there is only one option for the Streaming Type so it is selected by default.
The Streaming Types are defined as follows:
• TCP - TCP is a reliable stream delivery service that guarantees delivery of a data
stream sent from one host to another without duplication or losing data.
• Reverse TCP - the application connects to the device and the device streams
video back to the application over the existing connection. This option negates
firewall issues on a WAN and is primarily the best option.
• Reverse TCP I-Frame - this connection type is similar to the Reverse TCP
except the device only sends I-Frames. This option is useful in limited bandwidth
environments.
• UDP - the application connects to the device and asks the device to stream video
back to the application on a UDP address and port. For this option, the firewall
needs to be configured to allow the device to stream to the application on that
specific port.
