EasyGuard IP200
Appendix C. Performance Information
1. Video Performance Information
The video quality is dependent on the video parameter settings and the network
quality. If you want to have a better video quality, you will usually set higher
resolution and higher frame rate. This is fine when you are viewing the video locally
in the same network. But when you want to see the video remotely through the
Internet, you need to know the Internet speed (bandwidth) connected to your home
network. If the “Internet speed” setting of your IP camera is very large, but your real
Internet speed (bandwidth) is relatively low, the video quality could be very bad. In
some worst case, the video display could be disconnected. In order to have the best
video quality, you better have broadband service from your ISP and set the “Internet
speed” of the IP camera a little lower than the real Internet speed provided by your
ISP.
Also need to notice that when multiple users are displaying the videos from the
same IP camera at the same time, the video bandwidth times number of users will be
needed for the Internet speed.
2. WiFi Performance Information
The WiFi performance is dependent on the distance between the IP camera and
the AP (Access Point) / router and dependent on the number of devices connected to
the AP/router. Also need to consider that if there are any barriers like wall or floor
between the IP camera and the AP/router. IF there are some open space between
the IP camera and the AP/router, you also need to know that the performance will be
interfered in rainy day. The antenna gain and it’s direction in the AP/router will also
affect the WiFi performance. In general case, when the IP camera is set to the
default video setting ( 256k bps) and there are no other interferences between the IP
camera and the AP/router, the working straight distance is about 100 meters
between IP camera and the AP/router.
