Live viewing lag

[tmatika]

Hello - I'm trying to find the answer to what I hope is something simple. I have 5 Foscam FI9802W's. When viewing through the BI program, I get about 3 - 10 second lag. When viewing directly to the camera from it's web UI, its basically realtime 30FPS (No LAG).

The Computer I have BI running on is a 5th Gen I7, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

I have not changed any of the default settings in recording... although I did briefly try D2D to see if that would improve performance, but it did nothing.

When I use IPCam viewer lite, it looks flawless... so I'm hoping it's an encoding thing or something within the program... just not sure where to start tweaking.

Thank you

Another note - when I go into the camera properties, on the general tab, there is no lag in the preview window under the status area.

Receive Buffer is 3MB

No lag at all streaming through VLC (Following instructions from this site).

Those instructions are for streaming an mjpeg stream and/or the substream, so it will be faster. You need to try and pull the h.264 stream which blue iris is pulling.
try

rtsp://IPADDRESS/videoMain http://IPADDRESS/videostream.asf?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD] Also try direct to disc again.

Another thing to note - the latency is uniform across all cameras. They update the frame at the same time - all 5 cameras.

Do you get the same latency if you disable the other 4?

I do - disabling all but one camera seems to have no effect.

Following these instructions, I was able to get the stream work (Needed a specified port) in VLC - no latnecy.

D2D seems to have no effect at all.

try the same stream in blue iris.

try the same stream in blue iris.

It seems to be embedding the http:// into the path... can't get it to work. Unless I'm doing it on the wrong spot... I'm under Camera Properties>Video>Configure>Address

I found the problem.... RDP

When I remote into the system using alternative means, no latency... any way to disable that or fix that? Sounds like it may be by design...?

 

[tmatika]

Any hope for an activex fix for the web server? I wouldn't mind using that if I didn't have to use the JPEG viewer

Are you seeing a delay of 5 seconds or the image only refreshes every 5 seconds?
go to blue iris options> cameras, set video during remote desktop to unrestricted.

Its not broken, it works fine.

It gives me the middle finger in edge and Chrome?... but If I can can disable the delay in RDP that works too. Thank you

Those browsers dont support activex...just use explorer.
