Network and Storage Considerations
The MP-955IR IP Camera can be connected to any ViconNet version 5 network. ViconNet NVRs, DVRs and Workstations can be used for live
viewing and recording of network-streamed video. A network can be as simple as a single camera connected to a ViconNet Workstation or
can be complex with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN. Refer to the network diagrams on the next page for sample
configurations.
When adding an MP-955IR IP Camera to the ViconNet network, the following items must be considered:
• The number of cameras on a switch with respect to switch capabilities and system bandwidth mapping.
• Bandwidth limitations on ports connected to Workstations (using 100 or 1000 Mbps).
• Workstation capabilities such as processing speed and disk write speed.
• Storage size and location types including local Workstation recording, attached SCSI RAID and integrated SAN devices.
The MP-955IR offers a variety of configurations that impact on the video quality (resolution/fps) vs bandwidth usage. There is a choice of
Video Bit Rate Mode (Constant Bit Rate and Variable Bit Rate) and Frame Rate Mode (Constant and Variable). If the Video Bit Rate is set to
variable, the Video Quality can only be set to Low, Middle or High; if it is set to constant, the video maximum bit rate is unlimited. It is
suggested that the Constant Bit Rate be selected, since it provides more exact control over the network; the parameters shown below have
been tested and proven to provide the best quality of video.
