Maximum Frame Rate
You can define the maximum frame rate this user is allowed to receive. This function can be useful if you allow public access to your camera; e.g., you may have the camera live image integrated into an HTML page on your Web site, but want to keep the users from consuming all of the available bandwidth. Reducing the maximum frame rate allows you to do that.
Example:
The frame rate in the image configuration is set up as 25.
The maximum frame rate for the guest user account is set to 1.
The maximum frame rate for a second user account (e.g., admin) is set to fastest.
If the admin user accesses the camera, the frame rate shown in the Web browser is 25, but the guest user only views the video at 1 fps (frame per second).
Authority
None – no access to the camera is possible.
Viewing – access to the live image, but no access to the administrator menu. All – access to the live image and access to the administrator menu.
