Fox Video Stream Preferred property
If your configuration uses fox streaming to deliver video from a camera, DVR, or NVR, the station renders (processes) the video stream. To make successful connections, the station’s Fox or Foxs port must be different from the port used to connect the video device itself to the network. If your configuration does not use fox streaming, the camera renders the video stream. To make successful connections, the station’s Fox or Foxs port should be the same as the port used to connect the video device.
