What “I Frame Interval” option does?

Thanks for steering me toward the frame rate, but I don't think that was the problem. I checked the footage on the local machine and it was solid. I think the issue was related to UI3. Possibly my crappy WIFI connection? Here's the native footage.Are these "snapshots" from the camera, or you having "paused" the video and grabbed a screenshot?
Can you report your camera settings, I'm especially interested in: fps, bandwidth, codec and more importantly: iFrame interval. I suspect the latter not being equally set as your fps. iFrame "buildups" can render these impurfections.
Hope this helps!

Great job @smithbAnd just like that, ladies and gentlemen, Phase 2 is complete! I installed a 3.6mm front door cam at 6 ft in corridor orientation. I was going to install it at 5 ft but I just happened to be checking things out at sunset the other day and noticed that it was in direct sunlight. Taking my time definitely paid off this time.

The quality for UI3 can be set in UI3 and in Blue Iris webserver. See the UI3 dedicated thread for more info.Thanks for steering me toward the frame rate, but I don't think that was the problem.

I finally got a chance to play around with the IR settings. Here are some snapshots. It appears that the glare does indeed originate from the internal IR.That could be IR reflection from the post/ceiling. Not from inside the cam.

Did you use a junction box for the 4231, or is that mounted flush?And just like that, ladies and gentlemen, Phase 2 is complete! I installed a 3.6mm front door cam at 6 ft in corridor orientation.

I know a lot of folks have privacy concerns. I try to have a habit of pointing the cameras down such that they do not record my neighbor's property but they cover my yard. As best as is possible and reasonable I do not want to surveil property owned by my neighbors but sometimes it cannot be helped with homes so close. I figure that trying to be "the nice guy" and help guard my neighbors' property is not always well received even though the intent may be good. Likewise, I would not feel comfortable if my neighbor had all his cameras pointing my way and recording my every move. I'm positive that if I installed a telephoto camera pointed into the cul-de-sac across the street from my house I would be labeled a "creepy" neighbor. I've seen where the HOA property managers have been out taking pics of an area that was complained about by a homeowner only to be confronted by another homeowner suspicious that this person was talking pics of their teenage daughters and demanded he give his cell phone to her so she could double check his pics.@Sybertiger I’ll probably put another mini wedge in the ceiling at the far end of the porch at some point in the future to cover the view of the floor. However, my next priority is to get some cameras out back and put a telephoto on the cul de sac.
