Symptom:
Video from an Arecont camera may display ghostly artifacts.
<br>
Problem:
Some Arecont cameras have the key frame interval, sometimes referred to as GOP, set to a high value.
If there is a not a setting available for this in the camera’s web interface the only way to change this is through the use of CGI commands.
<br>
Solution:
Open a web browser on the server.
Using the URL address field in the browser, enter each of the following commands replacing CAMERA_IP with the address of the camera.
http://CAMERA_IP/set?keyframe=”on”
http://CAMERA_IP/get?keyframeinterval
http://CAMERA_IP/set?keyframeinterval=(1-100)
For example, to change the interval to 10, enter: http://CAMERA_IP/set?keyframeinterval=10
Note: The lower the key frame interval, the more bandwidth will be required for the camera stream.
