68 AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Technical Specifications General performance considerations When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some will affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Technical Specifications Important! •The figures displayed here are the values as delivered by the server. If other restrictions are currently in force, (e.g. bandwidth limitation) these values might not correspond to those actually received by the client. •For Motion JPEG, these values will only be accurate as long as no frame rate limit has been specified.
70 AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Technical Specifications Bandwidth As there are many factors affecting bandwidth, it is very difficult to predict the required amounts. The settings that affect bandwidth are: • the image resolution • the image compression • the frame rate • the MPEG-4 object type • the MPEG-4 GOV structure • the analog cameras connected to the Video Server • the audio settings There are also factors in the monitored scene that will affect the bandwidth.
