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 affect 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 the 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.
