Network video allows for "frame rate control," while in the
case of analog video, "all video is sent from the camera all
the time." Frame rate control in network video systems means
that the network camera/video server only sends images at
the specified frame rate; that is, no unnecessary frames are
transferred over the network. The network camera/video
server or video management software can be configured to
raise this frame rate if, for example, activity is detected.

It is also possible to send video with different frame rates
to different recipients – a benefit especially when using
low bandwidth links to remote locations.
