Cameras

How much internet speed do I need for my camera?

Why does internet speed matter?

The speed required to operate the cameras depends on the resolution quality that the camera is sending. Higher resolutions require faster speeds. This is especially important to consider during alarms when all cameras will record simultaneously and therefore require more speed.

We also have an interactive guide that can walk you through improving upload speeds (opens in new tab) on our Help Center.

Recommended Speeds

Below is a list of recommended upload speeds per camera. If you have multiple cameras streaming at once, the speed requirements go up accordingly.
