Q1: Where do I configure the recording location if I am using the recording button on the plug-in of IP7138?

Q2: What is the difference between UDP protocol, TCP protocol, and HTTP protocol?

The stability is HTTP >= TCP > UDP and the requirement of network bandwidth is HTTP >= TCP > UDP. You can depend on your network environment to choose UDP, TCP or HTTP.

And we design a "protocol rolling" function to change your protocol automatically from UDP to TCP or from TCP to HTTP in case your network bandwidth is not stable.

Besides, if you do not forward the TCP/UDP port on your router for the camera, the protocol will be changed to HTTP protocol automatically when you access the camera via Internet from outside.

Q3: What is the difference between Toggle and Push when using two-way audio?

If the talk button control style is "Toggle", you only need to click once the talk button to talk. If the talk button control style is "Push" you have to keep pressing the talk button to talk.
