GV-CB220 only 15 Frames Per Second

[LittleScoobyMaster 0]

Just wondering if anyone else has this camera and can't get it to do more than 15 frames per second?

 

I've tried every setting I can think of, even at 320x256 black and white resolution, all bit rates, etc., and it never goes above 15 frames per second.

 

Resolutions seem to have no affect on this weird cap.

 

Another strange thing about it is that it didn't come with GV-NVR like it is supposed to according to the user manual. And on the back of the camera, it states "Bundled with GV-Card - Not for Sale separately."

Does this mean the vendor may have swapped it out with one of those GV-DVR cards that come with sets of GV-CB220's?

We face with this aswell. If you point camera lence on clear wall you will get 30 fps. but if in the field of view captur some texture (like pc keyboard or grass... whatever with a lot of elements) seems that processor not able to handle the coding tasks. it is to week.

Also try to use fixed shutter and maybe decrease the sharpness. also be sure that you use the latest fw 1.09 for camera.

NVR 8.5.3 you may download from ftp://romsat.ua than folder pub then program cctv than geovision and nvr or dvr ... try to fined.

Thanks. Shutter speed helped the most. Once I removed it from auto and selected 1/30 shutter speed, the framerates doubled to 30 fps on a blank wall scene, but on a complex scene, it is still low, so like you mention, the processor of the camera is just underpowered? Since it doesn't achieve 30 fps on a regular complex scene, is it false advertising? (or does it just fall under the disclaimer that states you can achieve 30fps @ 1920x1080 under certain bit rates?)

 

Still don't know why it didn't come with GV-NVR and why it has the text about not being sold separely. That is a little disconcerning.

.

 

That ftp link, do you know where that goes to? The version of GVR there is Russian it seems. Is there a US version around, or is there really no difference between the languages? I haven't learned to speak Russian yet.

Hi 15fps is good for a little cam like that. i would not bother setting or trying to set for any more fps.

I guess so. It's advertised as a 1920x1080 @ 30fps though.

 

But overall, I am pretty satisfied with it. If I tweak a few variables including shutter and the bitrates, I can get 30 fps out of it in certain resolutions and certain non-complex scenes \ lower-action scenes. I haven't turned on recording yet though. I'm sure that will cause it to take a hit. I'm just viewing the realtime stream at the moment.

 

Sure is nice coming from analog 640x480, that's for sure! And the price for this cam is reasonable.

GV is bundling this camera as a freebie with the GV-1480 card for about the same price as the card without the cam. Many people buy the bundle, then resell the camera to cut costs or because they don't need it. Sounds like you got a de-bundled cam.

 

How's the camera performance aside from the frame rate?

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too, debundled cam, cept, that isn't what I paid for. So, I think the company that sold it to me shouldn't be doing it that way. It's extra hassle for the consumer, and it isn't the way the cams are supposed to be sold. Must be breaking some law I would imagine, but perhaps not.

 

Does Geovision warranty these camera's the same way they do with one that doesn't have the warning on the back?

 

How about the GV-NVR free license, is that affected? So far I d/led GV and was able to connect to the camera without issues.

 

I know that Nuvico, and other companies, may not warranty camera's sold by un-authorized dealers, however, I'm not sure what the warranty policy is for camera's sold at authorized dealers who de-bundle cameras for individual sale. Any idea? In the meantime, I'm trying to determine if the company that sold me the cam is even a Geovision authorized company or not.

 

 

As for performance, well, the picture seems clear enough, and whenever I make an update from the web interface or the IP Cam utility, it responds quickly enough. The color is nice too. I'm still blown away at the resolution. I'm so used to old 640x480 pixel cams that when I see 1920x1080 full screen on the monitor, it's actually pretty amazing.

 

But, I still haven't checked out recording performance yet. But for live viewing, so far it meets expectations.
