2.10 Specifications
The recommended number of cameras that you can register, monitor and record
simultaneously differs depending on the specifications of your computer.
See Table 1 (see
page 137
) and Table 2 (see
page 138
) for details.
Table 1 and Table 2 show the specifications when an internal hard disk is the
destination hard disk.
Note
• Table 1 shows the required specifications for a PC when using the
BB-HCM515A network camera with the following settings: Image quality:
Standard; Audio recording setting: Audio and Image; Multi-monitoring frame
rate: 2 frames/1 second; Multi-playback frame rate: 2 frames/1 second;
Transparency of Image Information: Not specified.
Table 2 shows the required specifications for a PC when using the
BB-HCM515A network camera with the following settings: Image quality:
Standard; Audio recording setting: Audio and Image; Multi-monitoring frame
rate: not specify; Multi-playback frame rate: not specify; Transparency of
Image Information: Not specified.
However, the values are only estimates, and actual values will differ
depending on the recording method and system configuration.
• If you use other applications while operating this software, the CPU will have
a higher load, and performance of this software will be affected. For best
results, do not run other software while operating this software.
• When using the MPEG-4 format, the multi-monitoring frame rate and CPU
usage will be higher, possibly resulting in unstable/unreliable performance.
When using MPEG-4, set a frame rate for the multi-monitoring page.
• Table 1 and Table 2 show the specifications when an internal hard disk is the
destination hard disk.
• The maximum recording capability value is approximately 50 fps with the
Measurement Conditions below.
Make sure that the total value of all the cameras recording at the same time
at maximum frame rate does not exceed 50 fps.
If 50 fps is exceeded things such as recording image slippage, and operation
response degradation can occur.
The camera’s frame rate can increase and decrease according to the
network conditions.
Take into account that frame rates increase with good network conditions,
and restrict the frame rate in [Preferences]
[Multi-Monitoring] accordingly
to keep within 50 fps.
