  • Page 30 In some installations, the network bandwidth available may be limited. Decreasing the size of the stream AOI will decrease the amount of data in each image. This in turn will reduce the amount of data that must be streamed across the network and thus decrease the bandwidth required. Basler IP Fixed Dome Camera...
  • Page 31 (Setting the Encoder Mode to CBR can help you conserve bandwidth. When CBR is selected, you can set the Bitrate parameter to a low value and this will cause the camera to use less bandwidth.
