Bandwidth

As there are many factors affecting bandwidth. They are:

• the image resolution

• the image compression

•the frame rate

• the MPEG-4 object type

• the MPEG-4 GOV structure

• the audio settings

There are also factors in the monitored scene th

at affect the bandwidth. These are:

• the amount of motion

• the image’s complexity

• the lighting conditions.

For MPEG-4, if there is only limited ban

dwidth available, and if this is more important than the image

quality, using a constant bit rate (CBR) is recommended. Use a variable bit rate (VBR) if the image

quality needs to be maintained at a higher level. If supported on the network, consider also using

MPEG-4 multicasting, as the bandwidth consumption will be lower.
