Choppy video blur

Check your PC performance, ram usage, disk usage

Try using VLC to play the video

VLC the same as is the browser player
PC performance fine (i7 3.4ghz 32gb ram)

I think they're just poor cameras, cheap though when you buy one get 3 free
 
ok so today iv'e set all 4 cameras up and set them at 25fps in the cam gui. (all POE)
In BI they are set to max 25fps in the Video tab and im getting 14.29fps and jerky but in VLC it is smooth and if i record in vlc the saved file details say 13fps.

So, why am i only getting 14fps and why is VLC smooth and BI jerky? any ideas please? its currently nighttime, switching the cams to Day only cuts the IR but doesnt turn off the IR lights and makes no difference to the issue.

Many thanks

Edit: CPU is at 12% and RAM at 864mb

What version of blue iris are you running? set recording to direct to disk.
 
V 4.6.4.6 and already direct to disk

Today all cams are showing 20fps, still jerky though.
Thanks
 
Yes on export, all direct to disk.

FPS has dropped to 14 again now it's night, I've no idea why. All cams set at 25fps though this has never been achieved day or night

Some cams will drop fps at night...
For choppiness... ensure Windows is set to high performance and that Antivirus excludes bi program and storage folders
 
I've already excluded from anti virus, pc is i7 3.4ghz 32gb ram.

VLC is smooth at night @ 14fps and a little jerky daytime @ 20fps
Bi very jerky day and slightly less at night

Could be a setting...could be the way the camera streams...delete the cameras in blue iris and start again.

Tried that, even reinstalled bi.

They come up as generic rtsp, obviously not suited to bi.

Will try a different make of camera.

Thanks
 
If I choose sv3c It lists the 960p camera but not these ones, if I select it I get error 400. The other option is sv3c rtsp.
I've just tried inspect and it came up as foscam compatible and the path is livestream/11 onvif 8999, this appears to work.
Will see what it's like in daytime, thank you
 
That's with the camera set at 25fps
Any idea why BI is doing this? Direct to disk.

Thank you
