Internet Bandwidth

[Main Street Carwash]

Hey Guys,

What up speed is everyone using for their internet? I am trying to determine what speed to go with at my new location for the security cameras and cc processing. I know cc's are pretty much a non factor but I have 16 4mp cameras and would like to view on my phone. What are you using as far as speed, camera resolution, and how is it working for you?

Thanks

We have DSL that is about 12MB download and about 1MB upload and use it for Cryptopay and cameras. So far we have 9 of our 16 4MP 2K cameras installed and it works okay on standard resolution but is very choppy on my phone or computer if I use the higher resolution. We are waiting on installation of cable from another company that is supposed to be up to 100MB down and 10 up. Upload speed is what is more important.

We have 100MB up and down as the variable cost from 50 to 100 is low. Would not go below 50 as we set our cameras to the highest resolution so you can see things. The cameras are useless if you cannot see anything when viewing remotely.

We have 100MB up

Wow. I have not heard of those speeds. Who is your ISP?

Comcast but Verizon has that as well as higher too. Waiting for google to bring the tsunami to the area.

I assume that's download but what's the upload speed?

 

[boywonder]

1 Gig Down/30MB Up

I would love that upload speed for camera quality purposes.

How much are you guys paying for said plans? Comcast quoted me $101.85 25/5, $151.75 75/15, and $196.80 150/20. These include an analog line for phone and 5 static IP addresses.

Currently we have AT&T phone and DSL internet 12/1 with 2 static IPs and it is about $100/month. When we get our cable from Spectrum phone and internet 100/10 no static IPs is $80/month. We are going to try it without static IP first but I think they charge $15 each.
