Table below shows the maximum number of remote surveillance cameras as a function of the throughput capacity of various communication links. The frame rate of the image flow (reference format is PAL) for calculation purposes was accepted as equal to 1 frame per second.

In real conditions, the fluctuations of camera streams can be quite significant, depending on the scene illumination, the use of day/night mode, how much motion there is in the frame. To accurately calculate the required network bandwidth, it is necessary to measure the stream from cameras that are already installed on the secured siteprotected facility. |

Example: To transmit live video, a 100 Mb/sec network should be used (25 frame/sec – PAL), video image – color; frame resolution – standard. As the table shows, the Mb/sec link can transmit the image flow at a rate of 1f/sec, specified color grade and resolution from max. 640 surveillance cameras. Consequently, if the image flow rate is 25 frames per second, the maximum number of cameras will decrease by 25 times and will be equal to: 640/25=25 cameras.

More often than not, video signal processing, transfer and recording requirements take up only a small proportion of the digital video surveillance system resources. While calculating performance of the video surveillance system, the proportion of resources, consumed by audio monitoring, may be neglected. |
