How to test the internet speed at the AvertX recorder's location?

Internet speeds at the NVR's location are relevant to overall remote viewing performance.

  • Download speed factors into how quickly software updates and Live or Search requests can be downloaded to the recorder.
  • Upload speed factors into the quality of remote viewing and how quick manually video clips can be exported to web services, either from a web browser or the mobile app.

Visit the AvertX Connect network requirements document for recommended network settings.
