Note
Table 1 shows the required specifications for a PC when using the BB-HCM735 network camera with the following settings: Image quality: Standard; Audio recording data: Audio and Image; frame rate: 10 frames/second, Transparency of Image Information: Not specified.
However, these values are only estimates, and actual values will differ depending on the recording method and system configuration.
Each table shows the specifications when an internal hard disk is used for the save destination.
See 4.4 Recommended Configuration for the recommended configuration for WV series network cameras and some BL series network cameras.
Notice
If you use other applications while operating this software, the CPU will have a higher load, and performance of this software will be affected. For best results, do not run other software while operating this software.
When file conversion is performed or when recorded images are deleted, the load on the CPU increases, and recording can be affected by factors such as a drop in the frame rate. Stop recording when performing conversion or deleting recorded images.
When using the MPEG-4/H.264 format, the multi-monitoring frame rate and CPU usage will be higher, possibly resulting in unstable/unreliable performance. When using MPEG-4/H.264, set a frame rate for the multi-monitoring window.
