Network Control – Overview
If you have 8 or less cameras on the network these
seng are probably not important and you can leave
them in the default seng. These sengs may only
need to be adjusted if you are taking more than 500
images per day or your images are taking longer than
desired to get Home.
This informaon can be confusing for rst me users. You may
want to use the default CL COUNT seng for the rst few
weeks and then review this secon aer you have spent me
using CuddeLink.
Background. The CuddeLink network, like all wireless
networks, has limits to how much data can be
transmied in a specic amount of me. Think of the
CuddeLink network as highway where only so much
trac can pass in a given amount of me and the more
trac on the highway the slower it moves and the longer
it takes to reach a desnaon. Your cameras can send all
the images they record, but this can create a trac jam
of images that will require more me to transfer HOME.
The daily network limit is about 24MB (about 1000
images). If you deploy 5 cameras this averages to 200
images per camera per day. For 10 cameras the average
is 100 images per day per camera. Actual throughput will
vary with network setup and image size.
When a camera records an image the full size image is
placed on the SD card, and a compressed image is placed
into a transmission outbox where the image waits its turn
to transmit home. Cameras can queue up 100s or even
1000s of images that will eventually be transmied
home.
