All configuration of images and overlays will affect the performance of the network camera, depending on the usage and the available bandwidth.

•High resolution generates larger files

•Lower compression improves image quality, but generates larger files

•Black & White uses less bandwidth than Color

•Rotating the image 90 or 270 degrees will lower the maximum frame rate
