Arecont Camera Video Loss with Large Frame Sizes
Issue Some cameras are capable of creating large frame sizes. There are two issues that can be encountered by unreasonably large frame sizes. As frame size increases the likelihood of the exacqVision recorder throttling increases. A frame size > 4MB will cause exacqVision to display “Acquiring Video” message instead of the actual video stream. This… Continue reading Arecont Camera Video Loss with Large Frame Sizes
H.264 Camera Configuration for Time-lapse Recording
H.264 compression uses a Group of Pictures (GOP) or Group of Video (GOV) to define how many P-frames are sent between each I-frame. (I-frames are complete pictures, whereas P-frames are partial frames reconstructed based on the last I-frame and all the P-frames in between.) Time-lapse recording stores I-frames. If time-lapse recording is configured at short… Continue reading H.264 Camera Configuration for Time-lapse Recording
Trigger Inputs Do Not Work on Panasonic Cameras Running H.264 or MPEG-4 in Internet Mode (Over HTTP)
