Image Server protocol latency

Hi,

I have successfully implemented image server protocol and use raw frames (GenericByteData) to get MJPEG stream from my Axis Camera. (HD, 30FPS) nothing special.

Time stamp (Picture) + My frame processing for a frame, is cumulated around 65ms when i display it, but with a short end to end latency measuring, test latency is much higher.

So not going to deep in any setup or my network, did milestone have a value how much latency through the image server protocol is added.

Just for my interest, use Smart Client also the image server protocol ? My end user has strict latency requirements, otherwise these had no big deal.

Big thanks :blush:

I do not think that Milestone have a number for the latency, and it will depend on server and network performance. What I can confirm is that Smart Client does use image server protocol. If your implementation works as good as the Smart Client you should not expect to be able to improve the latency by optimizing your coding. Milestone has spent a a lot of time and resourcess on improving quailty and lowering latency, in server and in client, so I hope you will be able to give a solution that will live up to yours and the end-user’s requirements.

ok thanks, nice information that it use also image server procotol, i am now having same latency as smart client, and so there is not more improvment that could be done on my site. :grinning_face:
