I'm unfortunate to have a Zmodo IP camera system that has been crippled by their awful software updates, so I've been looking to see if I can use Blue Iris instead with the existing cameras (model ZP-IBT15-S)
The problem I'm having is that while the live view displays fine, playback of recordings is really choppy. The cameras are streaming in at a constant 12fps in live view. When playing a recording it looks like it is trying to show those 12 frames at 25fps, so you get half a second of double speed motion, then a half second pause etc. There is no gap at all in the motion, just lots of fast forward and pauses.
I've tried loads of different video settings which don't seem to be making a difference. I've tried disabling all but one cameras, and running on a faster i7 machine, but the result is always the same.
I guess the fact that it does it even in direct to disk mode probably means that there is a problem with the stream from the cameras? It just seems odd that Blue Iris can play the live stream fine, but not once it has been recorded to disk playback is broken.
