Baud rate

Recommended Posts

If your camera supports 2400, 4800, and 9600 and so does your dvr, is there a 'best' one to use just for performance sake? There gotta be some kind of difference between all of them, no? Thanks.

Baud rate is the data speed. The higher the number, the faster the speed. PTZ cameras generally use baud rate settings.

The amount of data you're talking about in controlling a PTZ, though, there's really no advantage to one over the other. If anything it might be argued that a higher rate is more susceptible to noise, but I doubt it would ever be enough to cause a noticeable difference except in really extreme installs.

 

The biggest reason for supporting multiple baud rates is probably to accommodate equipment that only supports one.
