rough bandwidth figures for IP cams?

Post by januh »

Hello,

The company I work for is considering placing a camera (probably an outdoor PTZ) on a remote unmanned station on a solar farm. However, being that we're in Australia (and the location is semi-rural), bandwidth is abysmal and expensive. We'll probably have around 0.8 Mb/s up.

I'm interested in hearing some firsthand bandwidth figures for different cams/resolutions at different codecs and fps.

I'm also unsure whether it would be best to have the ZM installation on-site (which would involve sending a PC up there) or down in our office, which also has pretty crappy net.
