Ports

Direct Camera-to-Client Failback without Redundant Servers

SureStream uses the following ports. Please ensure these ports are open before configuring/using SureStream. This set is different from the set of ports commonly used by Milestone XProtect.

At the Management Client on the Management Server

Protocol	Transport Layer	Port (Camera-Specific)	Direction at the Management Client	Description
HTTP	TCP	80 (or the camera’s configured HTTP port)	Outbound	Communication between Management Client and Camera.

At Each Smart Client

Streaming Mode	Protocol	Transport Layer	Port	Direction at the Smart Client	Description
Unicast – HTTP Tunnelling	HTTP	TCP	80 (or camera-specific HTTP port)	Outbound	Communication between Client and Camera, including PTZ commands. Unicast video streaming through HTTP tunneling.
Unicast – Without HTTP Tunnelling	HTTP	TCP	80 (or camera-specific HTTP port)	Outbound	Communication between Client and Camera, including PTZ commands. Unicast video streaming through HTTP tunneling.
Unicast – Without HTTP Tunnelling	RTSP	TCP	554 (or camera-specific RTSP port)	Outbound	Video Stream Control for unicast / multicast.
Unicast – Without HTTP Tunnelling	RTP	UDP	Dynamic ports	Inbound	Video stream data.
Unicast – Without HTTP Tunnelling	RTCP	UDP	Dynamic ports (RTP port + 1)	Inbound and Outbound	RTP reports for multicast video for QoS (Quality of Service) and to compensate for delays.
Multicast	HTTP	TCP	80 (or camera-specific HTTP port)	Outbound	Communication between Client and Camera, including PTZ commands.
Multicast	RTSP	TCP	554 (or camera-specific RTSP port)	Outbound	Video Stream Control for multicast.
Multicast	RTP	UDP	Multicast port configured for the camera in SureStream (in the Management Client)	Inbound	Multicast video stream.
Multicast	RTCP	UDP	RTP port + 1 (e.g., RTP 10000/10002 ⇒ RTCP 10001/10003 must also be allowed)	Inbound and Outbound	RTP reports for multicast video for QoS (Quality of Service) and to compensate for delays.
Multicast	IGMP	N/A	N/A	Inbound and Outbound	Responds to multicast membership queries, multicast group joins, sends membership reports, and group leaves.
Other Ports	ICMP	N/A	N/A	Outbound	Camera ping. Used to check if the camera is online/offline.
