What causes this to happen?

Recently, I've noticed this smearing or pixelization. Not sure how to fix it and I'm looking for advice. Resources on my BI machine are fine and I've included the camera settings below. Thanks!

I had the same with ALL newer graphics drivers and H.264. Reverting to older drivers fixed it. Or... switch to H.265 and it stopped as well, even with new drivers.

Also 8192 bitrate for 15FPS on a 2MP cam is twice what you need.

Thanks, I'll try backing it down to 4096 bitrate. The last time I tried H.265, it caused BI to lock-up and crash. My PC is running a fairly old Intel i5 processor, probably not capable of H.265.

Ha. I run CBR of 16000kbps @20fps for my LPR cam. Damn clean crisp images.

BI probably crashed on H265 if you had hardware accelerate on. Make it none for that camera and you should be fine. I think your processor doesn't support HA for H265.
