How many are running on your server?
Are viewers accessing the feed or over the public internet ?

Higher resolution requires higher bitrate. Use this table as a starting point:
Unauthorized access attempts and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can crash your camera server.
By systematically addressing your network topology, upgrading storage performance, and utilizing smart streaming features like dual-streaming and H.265 compression, you can transform a laggy, unreliable Netsnap cam server into a responsive, crystal-clear live monitoring system.
Your upload speed and stability matter more than download.
By sending a "null frame" (a still image) when nothing moves, you preserve server bandwidth and CPU for the moments that matter.
If the feed is laggy, your bitrate might be too high for your upload speed. Conversely, if it is blurry, the bitrate is too low. Aim for a balanced bitrate based on resolution (e.g., 1080p at 4,000 -- 6,000kbps).
