High bandwith really needed?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm new to ip-cameras...and have a basic question.

I want to put about 5 cameras around my house. I don't want these cameras to record constantly...only when motion is detected.

Well, if someone walks to the back of my house, I assume that not all cameras will record at the same time because they will be triggered one by one.

So finally, I think that the maximum number of cameras that will be recording are ...let's say 2.

 

Recording will be done on my computer (blue iris) on a local disk. The recordings will be backed up as soon as possible to the cloud.

 

I'm reading here on the forum about people having issues with recording at the full frame rate. Will this be a problem in my setup?

 

PS: I'm planning on installing a gigabit switch, but still have a 10/100 router, which i think is not sufficient.

 

Thanks,

Herman

It's unlikely to be a problem. That being said it really depends on the resolution and compression of the cameras you want to use.

 

Can you share with us the model of cameras you're looking at?
