What is your average montage review fps? Is having 1fps normal?
I get 5fps from live view. When I switch to montage review I get around 2fps and it gets lower when I click history.
Playback from individual videos is max at 5fps.
Montage Review FPS
Re: Montage Review FPS
Normal is a relative term. I checked Montage on a 17 cam ZM 1.33.15. Most cams are set to 5 FPS and pretty much show close to 5 FPS on Montage. Cams in dark areas show less and one newly replaced cam show 10 FPS (I forgot to change it to 5 FPS). This is running on an i7 with 16 GB RAM and dual hard drives (one for OS and database the other for video storage). As they say your results may vary...
Happy Holidays!

Re: Montage Review FPS
Are you using multi-port? How many cams? What browser?

Re: Montage Review FPS
Montage Review seems slow for some reason.
On Montage Review mine fluctuates between 0.9 and 1.3 fps. On Montage, I get 5 fps. Live view is 5 fps.
Server is an i5 with 8 gig of ram and six cameras. Five 1920x1080 and one 1280x720. All cameras are set internally to 5 fps. All readings taken using Firefox on a Linux client.
I noticed that the client browser choice can make a huge difference on the load imposed on the server in Montage Review mode. I'm not sure why that is. Montage Review seems to place a higher load on the server than the other modes. I presume that is because of the way the video compression is done in Montage Review mode.

"I presume that is because of the way the video compression is done in Montage Review mode."
Or maybe to keep it from being too big a speed change when you're doing playback, what with (non ssd) disk access and all.
Maybe one of the developers will shed some light....

Re: Montage Review FPS
montage asks for an mjpeg stream from zms. So it just streams as fast as it can.
montage review asks for the image at such and such a time. Then it asks for the next one. The latency/turn around time to spawn zms, have it seek in the video storage, find the frame and spit it out is horrendous. Needs to be rewritten, probably with websockets and other cool tech.

Re: Montage Review FPS
And that's so the images stay in sync. Or rather don't get out of sync.
Thanks for the explanation, Isaac.
