Appendix D:
Bandwidth and Video Size Estimation

The frame ra te of video tr ansmitted from the Interne t camera d epends on con nection bandwidth

between client and serve r, video re solution, codec type, and qu ality setting o f server. Here is a

guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements for your Internet camera.
The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion vi deo will produce

smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa. Actual results

generated by the Internet camera may be varying.

NOTE:

Audio stream ing also take s ban dwidth around 5 kbps to 64 kbps. Most xDSL/Cabl e
modem upload speeds may not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able
to receive an y video while streamin g audio on a 128 kbp s or lower con nection. Even
though th e upload spee d is m ore than 1 28kbps, for optimal video pe rformance,
disabling audio streaming will get better video performance.
