New camera, compression artifacts through ZM...
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2016 12:04 am
Just purchased what I hope will be higher resolution replacement camera.
It is the ReoLink RLC-411 (Running the latest firmware: v2.0.0.1215_16091803).
Specs:
30fps
2560x1440
H.264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)
Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Onvif supported
Optically zoomable
VLC is able to see a perfectly clean stream when viewing this uri:
rtsp://username:password@ipaddress/h264Preview_01_main
Media Info from VLC shows two streams -- one video, the other audio, even though the device doesn't have a microphone.
Statistics shows there are some lost frames - 32000 Decoded, 500 lost (1.5% loss ratio).
Content bitrate is hovering around 8000 kb/s
VLC shows CPU utilization of around 6% in one core of an Intel i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz when viewing the stream.
The camera is current set in "monitor" mode within ZM. When viewing the camera, I am seeing compression artifacts -- certainly enough to trigger motion detection, if I were to turn that on.
I've set all my other cameras modes to "none", and have disabled them for this testing.
ZMC shows an average of 40% CPU utilization for a single core on an Intel i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
If I attempt to view the camera's feed through ZM, ZMC averages around the same, but sometimes goes as high as 80%, and a new process NPH-ZMS starts and hovers around 40% utilization.
The camera settings:
Server: None
Source Type: Ffmpeg
Function: Monitor
Enabled: Yes
No linked monitors
Analysis FPS: 5.00
Maximum FPS: [blank]
Alarm Maximum FPS: [blank]
Source: (see uri above)
Remote Method: RTP/Unicase
Target colorspace: 24 bit color
Capture Width (pixels): 2560
Capture Height (pixels): 1440
Everything else should be defaults.
Some of the settings of the camera are settable through its web GUI -- I already had audio recording unchecked.
I have the ability to lower frame rate, resolution, and bit rate of the camera, but for obvious reasons would not like to do this since that's the point of getting this camera.
Am I bumping up to the limitations of ZM?
