scrimshanker Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi all, just thinking what constant bit rate you all use all use as a standard for your ip camera installs i guess some of you use a variable bit rate, but with that how do you work out your storage needs?

petrolhead Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Its different for every camera, every scene, every budget. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41079-ip-camera/#findComment-460526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrimshanker Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Is it? surely you have a default standard, a basic setting you know the image will be satisfactory?

al-yeti Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Depends if budget is low then not much rate eh? Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41079-ip-camera/#findComment-460529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhead Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) If budget is lower but the customer still has a target for image retention duration, i would offer the option of switching on h264+ and dropping the bit rate, but the drop in image quality is noticable, i try to steer them to spending that bit extra on the additional storage and often succeed but some are already stretching their budget. Thats one consideration, another is available upload bandwidth if the customer want's to remote view the main stream.
