Frame rate control
Network video allows for "frame rate control," while in the case of analog video, "all video is sent from the camera all the time." Frame rate control in network video systems means that the network camera/video server only sends images at the specified frame rate; that is, no unnecessary frames are transferred over the network. The network camera/video server or video management software can be configured to raise this frame rate if, for example, activity is detected.
It is also possible to send video with different frame rates to different recipients – a benefit especially when using low bandwidth links to remote locations.
