Just installed this camera and the image is broken. The timestamp on the image jumps back and forth randomly, some objects freeze while other moves.
When I open the RSTP stream with (rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.77:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
I see image like below:

tried to change to H.264 codec and getting slightly different picture, still broken:

I have latest firmware (V2.800.0000000.2.R, Build Date: 2019-04-04)
Purchased it from Andy. Is this a broken camera? Any ideas?

I tried SmartPSS, SynologySurveillanceStationClient, MPC-HC.
Here is an exmaple of footage.
Note how the time jumps on the timestamp.
And car freezes for several seconds.


I do not observe the same with my other camera, which works fine.

Take the camera down and test with a short premade cable.

Already tried with a premade cable (not short though) and power hooked up directly - the same issue. Will try to test on a short cable tomorrow.

To confirm, i mean a cable crimped at the factory, not one you crimped. This looks like a connection/packet loss issue.

Yes, I used a factory-made patch cord. It also looked to me as connection issue, so I tested it with another cable.
I wonder if this could be bad internal cabling.

Moved the camera today and the problem is back. Tested with short patch-cord cable and the same problem
Looks like internal connection is bad.

Yes, I simply took the router outside and hooked up with a laptop.
I've done networks in the past, all obvious things already checked.
And the problem is intermittent. Already spent like 5 hours scratching my head.
Will exchange the camera.

Installed the replacement camera and similar issues.
I'm out of ideas... could this be a POE switch? Only the switch is between the camera and Synology NAS I've recorded this with. The model is TP-Link TL-SG108PE V2

You said you bypassed the switch

That was with other camera I returned.
I now changed the settings in the Synology NAS to use TCP instead of Auto.
Will see if it helps.
Any other ideas appreciated.
