Wyzecam mocord duration

[trumee]

Hello,

I have a Wyzecam V2 running RTSP firmware. I want to record continuously and set it up as a 'mocord'. Unfortunately, the duration which zoneminder records is very short and is not fixed. The screenshot below shows it varying from 31 seconds to 3 minutes. Is there any way to make this fixed duration?



It is setup as follows




Thanks

Try setting buffers 35 to 0 (zero)
Check logs, I think the camera is dropping out somehow.

I get an error message that buffer size cannot be less than 1.

[dougmccrary]

My bad. You're running 1.34...
You can try 100 or so buffers.
Looks like maybe your hardware is not up to the task.

Try disabling Save JPEGs

I'd also check that the camera isn't dropping out - monitor it with VLC program to be sure.

You maybe right about dropping of the wyzecam. I viewed the stream from VLC and after about a minute the stream died. The camera itself is close to the wifi AP so that shouldnt be the problem. I suspect the RTSP firmware on the camera is buggy.

Here is the VLC DEBUG log,

[dougmccrary]

Yeah.
Are there settings like frame rate and resolution you can change in the camera? If so set them to small and slow and if that helps you can run them up higher.
Does it have a wired connection port?
