What is the operational requirement? Are you looking at vehicles (speed?), licence plates, faces?. How good is the lighting? How much storage do you have and how long are you going to retain images? Are there any privacy issues that need to be considered? How are you going to download images for evidence? Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted August 25, 2014 Ilkie has excellent questions, I would add to that who will have access to the views and recording equipment? On top of that you almost never need 30fps. I find that 8-15 fps is more than adequate for 99% of situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danester 0 Posted August 25, 2014 The cameras are in a neighborhood, so yes there are cars and people in view of the cameras. the cameras will be outdoor with minimal street lighting. As far as who is viewing it and any privacy/masking, I already know and have that info. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without these answers any response will be guesswork. Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgb 0 Posted August 25, 2014 How will they be powered, from individual houses? I agree that 15fps should be plenty. Also using h.264 will reduce file size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danester 0 Posted August 26, 2014 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.

mgb 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Wow, chill out man. You're the one asking if you should use 30fps. I know very well that how they're powered has no effect on those settings. I asked it just as a friendly question because I was curious of how your project was being set up. You asked vague questions and people hear we're trying to help. Sometimes it takes questions to answer questions. But you have been vague and rude to those questions. Did you just put up this post so we can be amazed by your wonderful skills.
