General performance considerations General performance considerations When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
General performance considerations Optimizing your system To see the bandwidth and frame rate currently required by the video stream, the AXIS 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V provides a tool that can be used to display these values directly in the video image. To do this, special format strings are added as part of a text overlay. Simply add #r (average frame rate in fps) and/or #b (average bandwidth in kbps) to the overlay.
