<br style="clear:both;" />{{note|It is recommended to use UDP mode for both audio and video stream. Tunneling options is not supported by default as it significantly increase Turbine resource usage. If tunneling is needed, it is required to enable it on Turbine station web on RTSP Settings page. Tunneling is only available on primary stream.}}
*Required parameters:
** '''Address''' - IP address of TCIV
** '''HTTP Port''' - if HTTP MJPG is used this needs to be set to the port Turbine is using (8090, 8091).
** '''Image Path'''
*** In case of RTSP set it to"/ID/RTSP/" where ID is either 1 or 2 (1=primary stream; 2=secondary stream). Note: audio and tunneling are not supported on secondary stream.
*** In case of HTTP MJPEG set it to "/mjpg/video.mjpg"
