FPS in application lower than value set on camera

Thanks again. Is there a way to view FPS in PSS? The stream looks pretty smooth, but I'd like to compare FPS values if possible.

In bi please provide a screen shot of blue iris camera status.
. The three bar button, the camera tab.

A screen shot of the Windows task manager, processes screen, sort tasks by cpu time, most cpu time at the top. Show image name, user name, cputime, memory( working set) ,

This is a i5-8500 with 8gb RAM. Primary drive is a 120GB SSD, storage is a 4TB WD Purple.

I've set up 20+ systems using this mixture and never had an FPS issue like this. Argh!

NOTE: The "no signal" count of 5 is from moving switches around. The system does not register any no signals under normal use.

The fps in BI seems to be just 50% of the expected values, across all cameras. 6 to 7 frames for the 15 fps cameras and 13 frames for the 25 fps camera.

You kB seems high . What are you camera setting ? A screen shot of a few camera configurations from the cameras quality, VBR/CVR, iframe frame.....




How full is the 4tb hard drive ?
How full is the SSD ?
How is the harddrive connected to the computer, USB 1 2 3, SATA... ?

Only one of the cameras is running full res:



While the other five are set to:



How full is the 4tb hard drive ? 2.9 TB free
How full is the SSD ? 100 GB free
How is the harddrive connected to the computer, USB 1 2 3, SATA... ? Both hard drives are SATA on the motherboard.

Change the bit rate type to VBR.
Change the bit rate to 8192

You cameras are maxed out on the bit rate 4096 Kb is 500kB

Change the bit rate type to VBR.
Change the bit rate to 8192

I've made those changes. The FPS still seems to jump from full (15 fps or 25 fps depending on camera) down to about half. The bitrate kB/s are lower now.

Another screen shot of the blue iris status cameras page.
Another screen of a camera setting.
This is very strange.

Next thing to try... In BI disable 4 cameras and see if the other 4 speed up.
After change another screen shot of bi camera status.

I will try that in the AM. I appreciate your suggestions.

UPDATE: Been out of town so I haven't had much time to test. One thing I noticed is that the playback on alerts is not smooth. The video is jumpy (which I expected), but so is the time stamp at the top.

I changed the acceleration to none and restarted the system. FPS looks good now, we'll see if it lasts....

UPDATE 2: FPS seems to be stable now. Seems the combo of changing camera settings and acceleration to off did the trick?
