Bandwidth problem

[orobert66]

Hello
When I set on iCamSource preferences 2.8, the bandwidth of my wireless network is: 1.450Mb/s when I stop bandwidth of 9.450 Mb/s.
Can you tell me what to do? Thank you
I have 4 cameras.

To clarify, do you mean that it uses more bandwidth when iCam is turned on than when it's off? What is the Brand/Model of each camera?

Thanks
Yes When icam is turned off i have 9.450Mb/s
I have 5 cameras :
- Foscam 8918w - wifi
- IP cam DBPOWER 4.5 "PTZ IP - wifi
- TRENDnet TV-IP121W - Ethernet
- Logitec quickcam - usb
- Foscam FI8919W Webcam Wifi

Thanks
Olivier

Please lower the FPS for each WiFi Network IP camera, to ~5 frames per second so that you are using less bandwidth.

You can adjust the frame rate of a Foscam camera by adding a parameter to the URL.

http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi?rate=<PARAM>

<PARAM> can be a value between 0 and 23, and each value corresponds to:

0:maximum
1:20 fps
3:15 fps
6:10 fps
1:5 fps
12:4 fps
13:3 fps
14:2 fps
15:1 fps
17:1 fp/2s
19:1 fp/3s
21:1 fp/4s
23:1 fp/5s

So to connect to the camera at 2 fps, you would use http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi?rate=14 … or to connect at 5 fps, you would use http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi?rate=11
