What are the variables that causes the remote viewing IP cameras to lag? Is it the bandwidth, camera or the viewing software? If I have 10 IP cameras installed on a location do I need 10times better bandwidth than if I only had 1 cameras installed?

Bandwidth is probably the biggest factor - most residential broadband has fast downstream but fairly limited upstream speeds. VMS could have an effect as well - if it's re-encoding the video to a smaller stream, that will take time to process and add some delay. Not necessarily - it depends on how many cameras you're trying to view/stream at once, and whether the VMS is re-encoding them to a smaller stream. thanks sir, how come the analog has 0 delay on streaming? is it because it doesnt re-encode? how do I know which cameras re encode or not? Can I view the IP cameras over internet at the lowest resolution, but at the same time record it with highest res?

Hi, Ive been using pico2000 for over 2years now. I have it installed on 10 different location. My mainly use of it is real time viewing using remote module. Since I have 10 locations I need to open all 10locations in remote module which takes alot of times. Is there any alternative way or software that can help me login to 10different IP's within a few clicks instead of opening 10remote module windows and placing them around on my window? I know multiviewer is an alternative but its too much laggy and freezy. I need one that looks similar to Exacq software which is really smooth and fast. Thanks!
