How do I view video over poor or low speed links?
A. This can be a critical design point. More and more DVS implementations required remote viewing and management. There are a couple of important design points. One, to provide for high quality video archive, you should try and not attempt to record the video over the low or medium speed links. Even high speed data links will get overwhelmed with full time streaming recording of high resolution, high frame rate video. So it is important to design the architecture such that the recording is done over extremely high quality data links. Two, viewing is different than recording. If your architecture supports high quality recording of video local to the camera, then the remote video doesn’t always need to be of the same quality. Lower frames per second rate and high compression can be employed to work within the available bandwidth. Equally important, if there are multiple viewing stations within a single facility, which is remote from the camera, then it is important to establish a single
