Incoming Bandwidth

What is Incoming Bandwidth?

Incoming bandwidth refers to the amount of data that is being received by a device or network over a specific period of time, typically measured in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), or megabits per second (Mbps).

In the context of video surveillance systems, incoming bandwidth is an important consideration as it determines how much data can be received and processed by a network video recorder (NVR) or video management system (VMS) from multiple IP cameras simultaneously without causing network congestion or drops in video quality. It is typically influenced by factors such as the resolution, frame rate, compression method, and number of IP cameras in use.
