I don't need a guide setting up the cameras, I have setup many camera systems. how they are powered has absolutely nothing to do with I frame rate, fps, bit rate etc. If you can't give me an answer to the actual questions I originally asked then please stop asking me questions that I am not looking for answers to. I already know what I will use for these settings, I just want a second or third opinion. if that's too hard for you to do, then please don't post anything. at the rate we are going, you will be asking what color the sky is before you can give an answer to my original post, you also asked what the storage capacity is, it's in the original post.
