PerformanceConsiderations
Whensettingsupyour system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bitrate) required, others can affect the framerate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the framerate.
The following factors are among them most important to consider:
- Highimageresolutionand/orlowercompressionlevelsresultinimagescontainingmoredata.Bandwidthaffected.
- AccessbylargenumbersofMotionJPEGand/orunicastH.264clients.Bandwidthaffected.
- Simultaneousviewingofdifferentstreams(resolution, compression)bydifferentclients.Effectonframerateand bandwidth.
