Smearing issues

[BiloxiGeek]

New Reolink 4K PTZ camera. I'm seeing occasional smearing in the stream. What's the best method to fix this? The source is set to TCP already, I know that used to be a cause for similar behavior.

UDP with a reorder_queue_size=1000 setting in options... might work.

TCP ensures the packets get there, but they need to get there in time... so really UDP is better, but you need to tell ffmpeg to buffer them.

Tried that but still getting the occasional frame that throws off the analysis.

Would a higher alarm frame count mean a single smeared frame wouldn't cause an alert?
