Differences of several hours may result from the time zone setting Why does the image not refresh regularly In a modem environment it is because the bandwidth of PPP connections is much lower than for Ethernet If the difference of the timestamp is not stable use the modem property on the control panel to adjust the UART FIFO to a lower level for both receiving and transmitting In an Ethernet environment it may be due to the time taken for storing snapshots into memory when events occur How many users are allowed to watch Video Server at the same time To achieve the best effect Video Server will allow a maximum of twenty users to connect at the same time Excess users can get an auto refreshed still image on homepage instead It 1s recommended to build another web server to host a large quantity of users by retrieving images from Video Server periodically How fast 1s the video rate of Video Server The JPEG codec can process 30 frames per second internally However the overall performance is subject to many different factors such as network throughput bandwidth share number of users number of video inputs accessed at one time viewing complicated objects results in a larger image file the level of your PC or notebook that is responsible for displaying images In general the transfer rate on a general local network environment can achieve over 200 Kbytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 picture
