Configuring multicast
Setting up multicasting resolves limitation issues when streaming videos through
a network access device. A multicast address spans the Class-D IP range of
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. We recommend that the IP address range of
239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 be used.
To set up multicasting:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > More Settings.
2. Enter a Multicast IP address.
Note: When adding a device to the Network Video Surveillance software, the
multicast address must be the same as the recorder’s multicast IP.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.

client software access. The HTTP port is used for remote internet browser
