Choppy video blur

[Meno]

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

Thanks, they say it's correct for 15fps and to turn it up. Mine are the same at 25fps. So this is normal. Thanks

I can set my IP camera to 25fps and test if you'd like to compare?

 

[Meno]

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.

 

[Meno]

V 4.6.4.6 and already direct to disk

Today all cams are showing 20fps, still jerky though.
Thanks

Are you certain about direct to disc? If so are you adding the timestamp back export?

 

[Meno]

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

 

[Meno]

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.

 

[Meno]

Tried that, even reinstalled bi.

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

Will try a different make of camera.

Thanks

 

[alastairstevenson]

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

The product spec suggests they are ONVIF compatible, ONVIF port=8999
Have you tried that model choice in BI?

 

[Meno]

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

VLC

BI Direct to Disk

 

[Meno]

That's with the camera set at 25fps
Any idea why BI is doing this? Direct to disk.

Thank you

At the risk of getting flamed, what's the shutter speed set at?

Can't find that setting in the cameras, is there one in BI as it's much better in VLC

Thanks

The BI clip is losing frames, the VLC clip has lost none. This causes a stutter.
The BI clip is using about twice the bitrate of the VLC clip.
