Closing on a wash Friday and trying to get set up. There is no cryptopay at the wash now, but its being added shortly. There are 16 HD security cameras on site. I am not very tech savvy. Can someone help me with how fast my internet connection needs to be (mbps)?

Thanks,

Troy

Cryptopay data usage is inconsequential, so don't worry about that.

Your camera system should work with any speed of internet, but viewing will get choppy if it's too slow. You need to have a good upload speed at the site, which is usually a much lower number than the advertised speed. FWIW I've been viewing cameras for years at a horrible .4 Mb/s upload speed at the site and it works fine (Not HD though). I'd shoot for at least 2 Mb/s upload speed for high-res.
