I picked up a few D-Link DS-932L video cameras, with a supposed resolution of 640x480 at 20 fps. (2 for $5).

They work ok, but only at 320x240 resolution. They are running wirelessly at arounnd 15 fps. If I try to change the resolution of them in BI, it just reverts back to 320x240. I have Foscams and Panasonics that work just fine at 640x480.

Any insights?

throw em in the trash; they arent even worth the $2.50 you paid for each one.. shoulda been a hint.

MJPEG WiFi with 1/5th sensor and F2.8; they are just trashing your wireless network and are shit all around.

As others have said they are crap..that said, you cannot change the resolution in BI..it must be set in the camera...you also need to be using the correct stream..seems like you might be pulling the substream...in blue iris make sure ALL your cameras are set to Camera no 1, the other cameras numbers will pull substreams and or additional channels on a DVR/NVR.

".....it must be set in the camera......"
