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 audio settings
There are also factors in the monitored scene that will affect the bandwidth. These
are:
the amount of motion
the image’s complexity
the lighting conditions.
For MPEG-4, if there is only limited bandwidth 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 much lower.
