IP camera's and remote viewing

[ViciousBiscuit 0]

Hi,

Long time lurker, hope someone can clear this up for me cause i've asked a few ebay sellers and none of them know the answer.

 

I want a megapixel cctv setup, either 720p or 1080p (would rather 1080p). I know if for example i got a 720p camera i could view the feed locally on a pc at 720p resolution and whatever framerate the specs define (30fps for arguements sake), but if i were to view the feed on a pc at another location over the internet, could i achieve the same resolutions and framerates?

Is this all dependant on upload/download speeds of the isp's, or do i need to be looking for somthing specific on the camera itself?

 

Many thanks for any advice.

Yes, this will mostly depend on the upload and download rates available to you, as well as any slowdowns caused by the network that the camera's on.

Thanks for the info, have another question lol.

Have noticed some camera's state they have a substream, is this the stream that can be viewed online? Usually its lower resolution

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Yes, that's generally what the substream is for, remote viewing.
