Hi, I'm seeing some strange corruption in my captured images. Not sure what's causing it, but it appears to confuse the Modect algorithm so I have events all the time.

I'm running 1.26.5 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. My camera is an ACTi ACM-1231 (detailed info below).

Any suggestions if I have something misconfigured?

thanks,

Forgot to attach a sample of the corruption I'm seeing. The bottom half is the problem.

Set the maximum FPS in the camera configuration and leave the Maximum FPS and Alarm Maximum FPS empty for this monitor. Post results.

Hope it helps,

Thank you! I tried upgrading to 1.28 and now ZM can't read anything from the camera. I just posted something in the 1.28 forums to try to figure that out. If I can't get that, I'll back off to 1.26 again.

I tried upgrading to 1.28 with the same results. No images. I downgraded and left the FPS fields blank as suggested above. It still happens, but very rarely.

From my experience, Libvlc works better than Ffmpeg in some cameras, and the opposite in another, so I recommend you to try both types of Source types in your monitors.

Hope it helps,
