Frequently Asked Questions
Why does bitrate matter for cameras?
Bitrate matters because it directly affects video quality, network traffic, NVR storage use and how many days camera footage can be retained.
What changes camera bitrate?
Camera bitrate changes with resolution, frame rate, compression type, scene movement, image complexity and configured quality settings.
Should bitrate be calculated before NVR purchase?
Yes. Bitrate should be calculated before NVR purchase so disk capacity, retention days and uplink requirements are realistic.
