what baud rate is best?

been chasing stuttering video issues and someone suggested I increase the baud rate for the cameras

lmao....ill wait for you to find your baud rate settings, then you can tell that person how clueless they are...

Try 1200 baud, 8-none-1

Baud is the symbol rate of a communication carrier. You can have between 1 and some number of bits per symbol. That doesn't really apply to IP cameras as the L1/2 comm channel is obfuscated away (ie. usually is ethernet) ALTHOUGH some PTZs have a serial port which controls the pointing of the camera via RS-232 or RS-485. Those have baud settings, but won't help with your stuttering.

You cameras probably connect at 100mbps to the switch. If you got a bunch of cameras on one end of switch, the ethernet pipe getting back might be saturated, but that would be a lot of cameras...
Describe your setup more and people might be able to help.

I imagine he means Bit Rate.

thank you for helping
there are 4 cameras on a NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch (GS108PP) on one side of the drive and 4 more cameras on another identical switch on the other side of the driveway that go to the main camera switch netgear GS324TP which has 6 cameras on it with another 3 cameras coming from the GS108PP switch in the shed.
that main POE switch goes over to the main switch a netgear GS724t that goes to the netgear blackhawk 10 router than to the Comcast business class modem.


I had good video until I attempted to use AI to keep the false alerts to a minimum.

What year did the DeLeorean take you back to in order to get that advice?

I take it you are using BI? If so, where is the BI server in this network? Does the cam traffic go through the router to get to the BI server?

I remember when I got my 9600 baud modem

I remember when I got my 9600 baud modem

In the early days modems were only 300 baud.

BI is on the machine in my signature and it comes off the main switch

300, 1200, 2400, 9600, "56K" .. umm .. which 56K ..

lol ..

I ran a BBS on a Commadore 64 at 300 baud. Back then folks thought that the phone lines would not handle the new 1200 baud that was coming out.

Yep, it's been a while (close to 35 years?) but I remember putting *70 (I think) in the modem setup string (Hayes AT command set) when dialing out to....get ready now..... Compuserve!

You had to be a little careful with those setup strings. I traveled a lot for a job back then. One night I was in a hotel where you needed to dial 9 to get an outside line. So in the dialing prefix I put in 9 and 1 for long distance forgetting that I already had the 1 in the number directory entry. And of course had auto-retry turned on and sound turned down. Sooo... the way that all worked out was that I was dialing 911, 911, 911, 911, over and over and over... Cops came banging on the door .

I had a 110 baud in 1980.

Here is the original Hayes 300 baud smartmodem.

Yeah, those were the defacto standard back then, all the governments I worked for required them but I used Zoom Telephonics for years personally because I could not afford the Hayes! U.S. Robotics ran a close second for me.

Years ago I used to work for a small software house that used servers which came with 1200 baud modems for remote diagnostics and boy I used to look at them with envy trying to imagine what the perf must be like when compared to the modem I had at home at the time which was something like 300 baud.

I think my mind was officially blown when they then started shipping 2400 baud modems.
