Hi Team Members I have always faced the challange or you can say confusion between the Live bandwidth and Recording bandwidth of IP CCTV cameras. Example: I have 10 IP cameras recording @ 25FPS and 2 MP. And the bandwidth consumption per camera is 2 Mbps (assume) & Sub stream 512Kbps. So total bandwidth is = 10*2+10*512 = 25.12 Mbps. This is general way to calculate the bandwidth. My question is what about the live bandwidth as cameras are consuming some amount of data for live viewing as well? Do we also need to calculate the live bandwidth and add up in the calculation of recording bandwidth. If yes than how to calculate the live bandwidth and which case we need to consider the live bandwidth as well along with recording bandwidth. Please share your opinion on above Thanks AJ

My question is regarding the bandwidth calculation of IP Cameras System. Take an example of 20 IP cameras of 2MP each consuming 2 Mbps of data @25 fps (real time)....So total bandwidth at switch is 40 Mbps. My question is when the data is transfer to NVR or Recording Server through switch then what is the total bandwidth require for system for Recording + Live Viewing ....Is it 40 Mbps or 80 Mbps (40 Mbps for Recording+ 40 Mbps for Live Viewing).....Please guide
