AXIS M11-E Series Troubleshooting • Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients affects both frame rate and bandwidth. Use identical streams wherever possible to maintain a high frame rate. Stream profiles can be used to ensure that streams are identical. • Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously affects both frame rate and bandwidth. • Heavy usage of event settings affects the product’s CPU load which in turn affects the frame rate.
