Factory resetting the camera and reconfiguring it in IE mode definitely seems to have help things regarding video smoothness to the Micro SD card and downloading the video directly from it. Unfortunately it is still playing somewhat choppy within BI.
Which setting would it be that makes the IPC-Color4Kt more grainy and pixelated in this photo than the same shot from the Annke/Hix-Vis 180 cam? They are both going through a window with a screen but I don't think that is causing this to my knowledge. These are both screen shots from within BI by the way.

It is probably toonlow of a bit rate. Keep upping it until you don't see an improvement. Start around 10000.
 
Thank you, I just cranked it all the way to 16384 to see if it helps initially. I figure I can always trim it back but this should also help smooth it out even more correct? Hopefully this way I can test the bandwidth then if it helps I can scale back and step it up gradually.
 
Any recommendation on how to improve the video quality? Is additional lighting my only choice? Currently have illuminator at 8
V3.120.0000000.2.R, Build Date: 2022-10-21
3.6mm version
downloaded video from SDCARD and trimmed it.

Use h.264h always get the bet pics, and bitrate to the highest.
Brightness and exposure all increase +
Will this help correct for blue pixels dancing around the screen also? I have been trying to stay with H265 on all cameras to save disk space, however if H.264H is better I’ll try that.

While this new firmware helps, it is no substitute for additional light!
