9. Attachment B: Bandwidth Estimation
Please note the value of the table is for reference only. The bandwidth utilization is determined by the
factor of
1. Quality setting – Bandwidth subjects to determined by best effort or fix bandwidth setting.
Video clarity and smooth motion are two complete different characteristic of compression.
2. Video scene - The scene will conduct the key factor of bandwidth will be used. More
motion change, the higher bandwidth will be consumed in general compression
technologies rule of thumb.
3. Network throughout – you may have 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps Ethernet or 12mbps
802.11b, 54Mbps 802.11g or 110Mbps WLAN 802.11n or above with varieties of signal
strength.

For Example.: The transmission speed on the Internet is 2fps under 352 x 240, i.e. 40k*2=80k to
200*2=400k per second. It is suggested to apply for 512K "upload" bandwidth.
Note 1: What the camera needs at the client end is the “upload” bandwidth. However, most ISPs
offer higher download bandwidth than upload bandwidth. Therefore, symmetrical bandwidth
is a good choice for users who need to streaming the video to external network.
Note 2: Whenever you have a network planning, you may need to reserve 32 kbps to 64kbps for
audio.
