Websockets setting on G1 (5.5.61) and R6 (5.5.53)

[venturis]

EDIT: My mistake. Only shows on the G1 (5.5.61) firmware. Not the R6 (5.5.53).

I loaded the latest firmware on my G1 and R6 series cams this evening.

The only change I noted was the appearance of a new tab under Advanced Network Settings titled "Network Service"

In the tab are two selection boxes. One for "Websocket" and the other "Websockets"

Maybe someone can enlighten me on what the settings do?

I've not come across this one either - don't have that firmware version.
However, Google suggests it's a streaming service port, presumably doing what used to need webcomponents :

Not something I know about on the cameras.

Took them long enough, and they didn't even manage to do it on the standard http/https ports.

Solve the issue of duplicating adjustment on camera while configuring the DST on NVR.

Finally, that only took them a few years to solve...
