Measured Bandwidth of IP Camera Stream

EDIT: My first measurement attempt was not correct, as pointed out by those below. I believe I had the incorrect reporting period, or stalled client/camera.

(I will redo...)

Hello everyone: I thought I would post a measurement that I did with a network analysis probe that I have access to from my employer. It allows full flow diagnostics of traffic passing through it. I placed the axis camera behind this probe, and opened up a web live video link to it on the other side of it. The video settings was 320x240, the same recommended setting for competitions. Attached is the report. With IP overhead, a single stream appears to only use 120kbps of bandwidth. My next test will be to connect via a robot and a driver station displaying the 2 video streams on the driver station. I will measure this configuration and post my results. I thought everyone would be interested in this.

The image was not changing much, I will also repeat this by making the video move.

Yours,

Michael, Mentor Team 772.
