| Factor | Impact | |--------|--------| | | 1080p @30fps H.264 ≈ 4–8 Mbps; 4K ≈ 15–25 Mbps. | | Latency | LAN <10 ms; internet 50–200 ms; cellular 50–150 ms. | | Packet Loss | >1% causes artifacts, disconnects. Use SRT or TCP. | | Jitter | Variable delay → buffering. Use RTP with jitter buffer. | | Wi-Fi Interference | Neighbors, microwaves, walls → use 5 GHz or wired. | | CPU/Decoder | Viewing multiple streams requires hardware decode (Intel QuickSync, NVENC). | : Many network cameras offer cloud storage and
