This help desk article outlines the system requirements and performance expectations for running the agent on your devices. The agent is designed to be lightweight and can be embedded directly into cameras, with resource usage varying based on device settings. Below are the recommended specifications for optimal performance under specific conditions.
Settings
The specifications recommended are designed for good performance under the following conditions:
2-4 cameras via RTSP. NDI will use more processing power on the computer, and expect around 10-15% increase in CPU when using NDI as compared to RTSP.
Resolution | 1920x1080 |
Frame Rate | 30 FPS |
Key Frame Interval | 1 |
Bitrate Control | Constant Bit Rate (CBR) |
Optimal Bitrate will be largely dependent on your internet upload speed in Cloud Mode, although these specifications are done using 10,000 Kbps.
