Performance considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations affect the
performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bitrate) required, others can affect the
frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this also affects the
frame rate.
The following factors are the most important to consider:
High image resolution or lower compression levels result in images containing more data which in
•
turn affects the bandwidth.
Rotating the image in the GUI will increase the product's CPU load.
•
Removing or attaching the cover will restart the camera.
•
Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG or unicast H.264 clients affects the bandwidth.
•
Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients affects
•
both frame rate and bandwidth.
Use identical streams wherever possible to maintain a high frame rate. Stream profiles can
be used to ensure that streams are identical.
Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously affects both frame rate and
•
bandwidth.
Heavy usage of event settings affects the product's CPU load which in turn affects the frame
•
rate.
Using HTTPS may reduce frame rate, in particular if streaming Motion JPEG.
•
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure affects the bandwidth.
•
Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance and affects frame
•
rate.
Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may
•
affect the frame rate and the general performance.
Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Go to the adapter's
documentation for more information.
• See .
• Reduce the number of applications running on the client computer.
• Limit the number of simultaneous viewers.
• Check with the network administrator that there is enough bandwidth
available.
• Lower the image resolution.
• Log in to the device's webpage and set a capture mode that
prioritizes frame rate. Changing the capture mode to prioritize frame
rate might lower the maximum resolution depending on the device
used and capture modes available.
• The maximum frames per second is dependent on the utility
frequency (60/50 Hz) of the Axis device.
