And if it's a server issue, why it went offline soon after Nancy got "crazy" and just that part was deleted? I assume each of the larger apartments has a dedicated server to handle the streaming to the RLC network. This apartment has 15 cams. I remember when they had a big party opening B-7, RLC put all of B-4 U/M. They did so because the 'pipe' couldn't handle the anticipated demand from viewers. I asked Google AI the following question for a single webcam. Multiply by 15 for this apartment. Quote Q. What are the bandwidth requirements for streaming a high-resolution webcam 24/7 with audio? Answer The bandwidth needed to stream a high-resolution webcam with audio 24/7 depends on several factors: Resolution: Higher resolutions like 1080p (Full HD) require more data than lower ones like 720p (HD). Frame Rate: Higher frame rates (e.g., 60 frames per second - fps) lead to smoother video but require more bandwidth compared to lower frame rates (e.g., 30fps). Bitrate: This dictates the amount of data transferred per second for video and audio. Higher bitrates yield better quality but consume more bandwidth. Compression: Efficient codecs like H.264 or H.265 (HEVC) can significantly reduce file size without drastically sacrificing quality, thus lowering bandwidth usage. Audio Bitrate: While less demanding than video, audio bitrate still contributes to overall bandwidth requirements. A good audio bitrate is typically around 128-320 kbps. General guidelines 1080p (Full HD) at 30 fps: A bitrate of 3,500 - 5,000 kbps (3.5 - 5 Mbps) is recommended. 1080p at 60 fps: A bitrate between 4,500 - 6,000 kbps (4.5 - 6 Mbps) is ideal. Data usage estimation (continuous 24/7 streaming) To estimate data usage, consider the chosen bitrate and multiply it by the duration: 1. Calculate hourly data usage: For example, with a 5 Mbps bitrate (5000 kbps) for 1080p streaming: 5000 kbps = 5 Mbps (5 Mbps * 3600 seconds) / 8 bits per byte / 1024 MB per GB = approx. 2.2 GB per hour 2. Calculate daily data usage: 2.2 GB/hour * 24 hours/day = approx. 52.8 GB per day 3. Calculate monthly data usage: 52.8 GB/day * 30 days/month = approx. 1584 GB per month (or 1.58 TB) Additional considerations Headroom: Always factor in extra bandwidth (1.5x - 2x the bitrate) to handle internet speed fluctuations and other network activity, notes Epiphan Video. Compression: Using more efficient codecs like H.265 can significantly reduce the required bandwidth and data usage. Network Stability: A wired (Ethernet) connection is generally more stable than Wi-Fi and is recommended for continuous streaming to ensure consistent quality. Internet Service Provider (ISP) Data Caps: Be mindful of your ISP's data caps, as continuous 24/7 streaming can quickly exceed them, potentially leading to additional charges. Platform Limits: Streaming platforms might have bitrate limitations, so check their recommendations for optimal performance. Disclaimer: These figures are estimates and actual data usage may vary depending on the specific webcam, encoding settings, and network conditions. I then asked Google AI about the effects of upload demand on a streaming webcam feed. Quote Here's how upload demand affects webcam streaming rates: Upload speed and streaming rates: a crucial connection Webcam streaming, especially live streaming, is heavily reliant on upload speed. A good upload speed ensures the video data from your webcam is efficiently sent to the internet, allowing viewers to see a smooth and high-quality stream. The impact of low upload speeds If your upload speed is too low to handle the demand of the webcam stream, the following can occur: Buffering and Lag: Insufficient upload speeds prevent the streaming platform from receiving enough data quickly enough, resulting in interruptions and a frustrating viewing experience for your audience. Lower video quality: To compensate for slow upload speeds, the streaming platform might automatically reduce the video resolution or bitrate to prevent constant buffering. This leads to a blurry or less sharp image. Poor audio quality: In addition to video, audio quality can also suffer with inadequate upload speeds, notes resi.io [< a source] Reduced frame rates: Higher frame rates, which provide smoother motion, require more upload bandwidth. If your upload speed is insufficient, the frame rate might drop, making the video appear choppy. Latency: Low upload speeds can lead to delays between when an action happens on your end and when it appears on the viewers' screens, impacting real-time interactions and creating a less engaging experience. Key takeaways Upload speed dictates the quality of your stream: Faster upload speeds allow for higher resolutions, frame rates, and bitrates, leading to a better viewing experience. Ensure your internet connection meets platform requirements: Different streaming platforms have different recommended upload speeds for optimal performance. Consider your content: High-resolution videos and fast-paced visual content like gaming require significantly more upload speed compared to simple talking head videos with minimal movement. In conclusion, upload demand is a crucial factor in achieving a high-quality webcam streaming experience. A sufficient and stable upload speed is essential to prevent buffering, maintain video and audio quality, ensure smooth frame rates, and facilitate real-time interactions with your audience Safe to say that this is beyond the capability of a dedicated laptop or a PC.

Well fuck me...how did you ever come up with that Captain Obvious? 1
Sergio Posted July 28 Posted July 28 This delay in the apartment coming back online shows that Dasha and Sasha care about Nancy's situation, they could come back online without caring about her, instead maybe they are trying to resolve the situation, I hope Nancy is fine, she is a beautiful girl in every sense 6
somnilein01 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 So Feierabend. Na mal schauen was los war. Ich fänd es schön wenn RC die zahleneden Mitglieder informmieren wrde. Ich meine schliesslich Sind wir, die zahlen ja die, die es ermöglichen, das RLC fort beteht. Vielleich t Ziehen Dasha und sasaha in eine neue Wohnung und Nancy behält die die jatzt Sasha und Dasah gehrt. Dann wäre die sicher oft leeer, weis nancy dann bestimmt mehr bei s und D wäre. warten wir einfach ab. 2

Wenn es sich tatsächlich um ein technisches Problem mit dem Server handelt, kann es mehrere Werktage dauern, einen neuen Server zu installieren und ihn sowohl mit den Kameras als auch mit dem Netzwerk zu verbinden. Ich bezweifle, dass es in Montenegro genügend Wohnungen gibt, um einen Vollzeitmitarbeiter von RLC nur für den technischen Support in Montenegro zu beschäftigen. Naja in Montenegro sind glaub 13 Wohnunge, da macht es schon sinn 1 Vollzeitmitarbeiter zu haben.

moules Posted July 28 Posted July 28 The server would usually be physically located at the point of origin of the video stream; that is, an apartment or villa. One only needs servers where there are multiple simultaneous camera streams from the same location.. One would not need a server for Rachel's room on XLife, for example. B-4 might have several dedicated servers because it has so many cams. One thing I noticed is that the 'hot sex' between Sasha, Dasha, and Nancy is always streamed in night vision. Night vision can reduces bandwidth needs significantly. For example, night vision can reduce the resolution and frame rate, and thus lower the bandwidth being used. So IF there are bandwidth limitations for that apartment, and which Sasha would be aware of, he and Dasha may choose to not do 'hot sex shows with Nancy' in high=resolution color. I asked Google AI this question: How many servers would I need to stream 20 high resolution cameras with audio and motion detection? Quote To determine the number of servers needed for streaming 20 high-resolution cameras with audio and motion detection, you'll need to consider bandwidth requirements and server hardware specifications. For 20 high-resolution cameras (1080p, 15 FPS, H.265), expect to need one powerful server or potentially two, depending on the specific camera resolution, frame rate, and chosen compression codec, with adequate RAM and processing power to handle the continuous video streams and motion detection. Key Considerations for Server Needs: Bandwidth: While one server can manage 20 cameras, the primary bottleneck is often internet bandwidth. For 1080p cameras at 15 FPS using H.265 compression, you might need between 40-100 Mbps of bandwidth. If you are using 4K cameras or higher frame rates, this requirement will increase significantly. Server Hardware: RAM: 8 GB DDR3 is suggested for a server handling 20 cameras. CPU: Two Intel Xeon processors with 4 cores each, running at 2.60 GHz, are recommended. Storage: 3 TB or more of storage capacity is advised, utilizing 4 or more hardware drives with a SATA 2.5" interface. Video Compression: Using more efficient compression codecs like H.265 will reduce bandwidth usage compared to older codecs like H.264 or MJPEG. Motion Detection: If you are continuously streaming all cameras, motion detection primarily influences when recordings are triggered or alerts are sent, but the continuous stream still requires significant bandwidth. Note 1080 is pixels (number of dots in a display) FPS is frames per second; H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is a video compression standard that offers better compression and higher quality compared to its predecessor, H.264 On the lower left of the video stream for a RLC camera is an Intel processor number watermark. The number reflects how new or old that processor is from a design standpoint, and the specific capabilities for that processor. 1

Brokk! Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Guys, to me it seems pretty obvious that it's not just a "technical" glitch. This apartment has been UM for 3-4 days now. They would already have fixed the problem in 3-4 days for now. 1
