So I’ve been trying to get this PTZ camera going… really not impressed with the image quality versus my 5442’s, but it is what it is.
Latest firmware. I’ve been finding VBR encoding utterly useless - even with image quality set to 6, it keeps dropping the bitrate to insanely low levels in h264 or h265 that makes the picture break up and pulse badly, even at max bitrate, and regardless of framerate or Iframes (oddly, higher fps at the slightly higher bitrate it allows looks better). So far the best compromise I’ve found is AI Encoding, which seems to help keep the image more stable.
The WDR implementation seems problematic. When it kicks on, it seems like there’s a whole second set of sharping / contrast boost being applied that way overcooks the image. Like if I dial in the image sharpness when off, then turn on WDR and adjust the level until it kicks on, the sharpness like doubles, and the whole image moves slightly to the right.
Anyone got any tips on image/encoding setting for this?
