Performance Considerations

When settings up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.

The following factors are among the most important to consider:

High image resolution and/or lower compression levels result in images containing more data. Bandwidth affected.

Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients. Bandwidth affected.

Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients. Effect on frame rate and bandwidth.

Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.

Heavy usage of event settings affect the product’s CPU load. Frame rate affected.

Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected.

Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.

This is particularly useful in situations where bright sunlight and shadows coexist, allowing the camera to produce a balanced and detailed image. This ensures that critical details are not lost, enhancing overall situational awareness.

Another important aspect of the Q1604 is its flexible installation options. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to receive power and network connectivity through a single cable. This reduces installation complexity and costs. Additionally, the camera features adjustable lenses, which provide the ability to customize the field of view according to specific surveillance needs.

Security is paramount in surveillance technology, and the Q1604 is designed with multiple security features to protect data integrity. It offers encrypted video transmission and password protection, ensuring that unauthorized users cannot access the system. Furthermore, the camera is compatible with a range of video management software (VMS) for integration into existing security ecosystems.

In conclusion, the Axis Communications Q1604 is a feature-rich network camera offering robust performance, high-resolution imaging, and advanced technologies. Its adaptability to varying lighting conditions, ease of installation, and strong security features make it one of the leading choices for professional surveillance solutions, catering to the demands of various industries while ensuring reliable monitoring and protection.
