Network communication with cameras
For video, the following ports must be open for local cameras. Opening these ports ensures that the Cloudlink appliance can connect to the cameras, manage them, and stream video.
| Inbound port | Outbound port | Port usage |
|---|---|---|
| TCP 443 TCP 80 |
Camera connections HTTPS on port 443 is preferred. Cloudlink appliances only fall back to HTTP on port 80 if secure communication isn’t available. |
|
| TCP 554 | RTSP for video requests. | |
| UDP 3702 | Camera discovery requests on 239.255.255.250 (multicast). | |
| UDP 10000 to 10599 | Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) communication from cameras to the Cloudlink appliance. | |
| UDP 5353 | UDP 5353 | Camera discovery. |
| UDP 20000 | Camera discovery responses. |
Network communication with intrusion panels
Open the following ports to enable communication between intrusion panels and the Intrusion app (Genetec Intrusion Bridge) on Cloudlink appliances. The ports allow the appliance to connect to panels and exchange events and commands.
| Inbound port | Outbound port | Port usage |
|---|---|---|
| TCP 2624 | Connecting the Intrusion app (Genetec™ Intrusion Bridge) on the Cloudlink appliance to the Genetec™ Intrusion Protocol extension in Security Center SaaS. | |
| TCP 7700 | The default port for sending and receiving commands between Bosch intrusion panels and the Intrusion app (Genetec Intrusion Bridge) on the appliance. |
