    Ground Line out (mono) SD Card Slot The Axis product supports SD cards with up to 64 GB of storage. For best recording performance, use ultra-high speed SD cards (SDHC UHS-I or SDXC UHS-I). 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 affect both.
  • Page 71 Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected. • Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected. • Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may affect the frame rate and the general performance.
