Frequently asked questions
How much bandwidth does a 4K security camera use?
4K (8MP) H.265+ camera: 4-8 Mbps main stream, 512 Kbps sub-stream. H.264 4K: 8-16 Mbps. Plan your network for main stream recording plus sub-stream live view. Use H.265+ to minimize bandwidth and storage.
Can I stream a 4K camera over WiFi?
Yes, but use 5 GHz WiFi (not 2.4 GHz) for 4K streams. For reliable recording, wired PoE is recommended. Use the sub-stream (typically 1080p) for live view over wireless to reduce bandwidth demand.
