Factors affecting Camera Imaging within VI MonitorPlus

Bit Rate

A higher bit rate usually provides better picture quality.

Resolution

A higher resolution usually provides better picture quality.

Format

Some picture formats, such as AVI, incorporate better algorithms that more accurately represent the video capture. The most basic, but bandwidth heavy MJPEG, was industry-standard for many years. Since then, other video codecs have been used, including H.264 and H.265.

Firmware

Outdated firmware can impair camera functionality.

Location

Unless intended for such use, placement in dark or obstructed locations, or in places affected by adverse weather, will not result in useful pictures.

Number of cameras connected to the server

The higher the number of connected cameras, the greater the load on server resources.
