SymNav software
SymNav software is the next generation of software that supports MPEG4 based video compression. The
Symdec-1, SymDec-4, SymNet1, and SymVeo SV-XP1 IP Camera all use MPEG4 compression.
SymNav software also connects to these products using UDP/TCP protocols depending on your configuration.
The default setting is UDP. Changing from UDP to TCP or TCP to UDP is accomplished through the SymNav
software application.
SymNav software can connect to a maximum of four video streams. This can be four separate SymDec units
with one stream each or two SymDecs with two streams each.
Sample network setup
We recommend that you set up video streaming on a private network. The following configuration is based on
the sample network diagram (Figure 12). These settings are implemented through the individual unit's web
page. To access the unit's web page simply launch your Internet browser and input the unit's IP address in the
address bar. Typical numbers are shown for the purpose of illustration. Real addresses must be chosen by the
user based on actual network parameters.
At a minimum the following information must be known:
• IP addresses of all the units involved in this network.
• Subnet masks of all the units involved in this network.
• Gateway addresses of all the units involved in this network.
• Valid streaming or multicast address.
