Page 18: Administrator's Capabilities
Administrator’s Capabilities Fine-Tuning for Best Performance There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the Network Camera. Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors, “Maximum frame rate”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality”... -

to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. -
Page 20: Opening Accounts For New Users

The Administrator can also decide if more viewers are allowed to watch the video if the viewers exceed the limit. - Page 22 If you want to expand to allow in more viewers, the host server should be able to handle large network traffic, which must handle the picture refreshing from the Network Camera. If the web server space has FTP service Set the Network Camera up as an FTP client to upload the pictures. The access to the Network Camera will be independent of the number of viewers and the picture quality will remain constant.
