How Bit Rate Relates to Resolution and Frame Rate?

In video surveillance systems, bit rate directly affects image quality, bandwidth usage, and storage requirements. Higher resolution and frame rate combinations require more bandwidth, while different compression technologies can significantly change the overall data demand.

To help users better understand the relationship between bitrate vs resolution, the VIKYLIN technical team has carefully compiled the following recommended bit rate reference charts, based on common resolutions, frame rates, and encoding standards used in real applications.

H.264 Recommended Bit Rate (Approximate Value)

H.264+ Recommended Bit Rate (Approximate Value)

H.265 Recommended Bit Rate (Approximate Value)

H.265+ Recommended Bit Rate (Approximate Value)

Kindly Note:

  1. This sheet is useful for users who has high reqirement for bit rate settings. If the real environment is more complex, you can increase the bite rate 20%~30% higher than recommend
  2. The above value is suitable for all series IPC and PTZ with new platform.
