Gateway device capable of enhancing video packet transmission quality and method thereof

A gateway device configured to enhance video packet transmission quality, comprising:

• a storage, for storing a lookup table, wherein the lookup table comprises at least one set of corresponding device identification code and device type;
• at least one port, for connecting a network device;
• and
• a controller, coupled to the storage and the port respectively, and configured to receive a device identification code of the network device through the port and automatically comparing the device identification code of the network device with the device identification code in the lookup table;
• thereby, when the controller determines that the network device is a web camera and receives a video packet transmitted from the web camera through the port, the controller automatically adds a specific group code to the video packet for assigning a virtual local area network to the video packet, so that the web camera is added into the virtual local area network designated by the gateway device, and the gateway device transmits the video packet to the virtual local area network according to the specific group code, and
• wherein the specific group code is a universal group code for specifying that the video packet received from the web camera should be transmitted to the virtual local area network by the gateway device, and wherein the controller automatically sets the priority of the video packet to a high priority, such that after the video packet is transmitted out of the virtual local area network, the video packet is transmitted through a transmission channel with the high priority.
