XProtect DLNA Server (explained)

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard for connecting multimedia devices. Electronic manufactures get their products DLNA certified to ensure interoperability between different vendors and devices and thereby enable them to distribute multimedia content such as audio, video, and photos.

Public displays and TVs are often DLNA certified and connected to a network. They are able to scan the network for media content, connect to the device, and request a media stream to their built-in media player. XProtect DLNA Server can be discovered by certain DLNA certified devices and deliver live video streams from selected cameras to DLNA certified devices with a media player.

Note: The DLNA devices have a live video delay of 1-10 seconds. This is caused by different buffer sizes in the devices.

XProtect DLNA Server must be connected to the same network as the XProtect system and the DLNA device must be connected to the same network as XProtect DLNA Server.
