Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting.

Q Why does the image not refresh regularly?

A In a modem environment, it is because the bandwidth of PPP connection is far less than Ethernet. If the difference of the timestamp is not stable, adjust the UART FIFO lower in both receiving and transmitting from modem property in the control panel. While in Ethernet, it may be due to time taken in storing snapshots into memory upon events occurring.

Q How many users are allowed to watch Network Camera at the same time?

A To achieve the best effect, Network Camera will allow twenty users to connect at the same time. Excess users can get an auto-refreshed still image in homepage instead. It is recommended to build another web server to host a large quantity of users by retrieving images from Network Camera periodically.

Q How fast is the video rate of Network Camera?
