Live multicast

The system supports multicast of live streams from the recording server to XProtect Smart Client. To enable multicast of live streams from the selected camera, select the check box.

Note that live multicasting only works on the stream you have specified as the camera's default stream on the Streams tab.

You must also configure multicasting for the recording server. See Multicasting (explained).

If multicast streams do not work, for example due to restrictions on the network or on individual clients, the system reverts to unicast.
