System and method of optimized network traffic in video surveillance system

A system comprising:

• a surveillance system that receives compressed video from a plurality of network video cameras;
• and
• a traffic control subsystem of the surveillance system further comprising:
• a first processor of the subsystem that monitors for and detects a concurrence of arrival of a number of I-frames within a time period from the plurality of video cameras;
• a second processor of the subsystem that compares the number of received I-frames with a threshold value and detects that the number of I-Frames from the plurality of network cameras has exceeded the threshold value;
• and
• a third processor that sends a control message to at least one of the plurality of network cameras adjusting a time of transmission of I-frames from the at least one camera based upon the comparison.
