Dâniel Fraga 0 Posted December 22, 2013 The Dahua HFW3200S camera shows artifacts when using the maximum resolution of 1080p@30fps. This seems to be caused by "sonia" and "VideoDaemon" binaries which are resource hungry and cause high load in the camera. See the video below. Firmware used: 20130726 It seems the software used in Dahua is very bad written. The workaround is to use a lower resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted December 22, 2013 Not the first time I've seen this. The Axis Q60 ($4,000 camera) had this problem but was fixed in a firmware patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilkevinli 0 Posted December 23, 2013 I have the same issue but I thought it was caused by the 2013 version of Milestone. I didn't have this issue with the 3200S on the old version of Milestone. I'm going to try an old version of the firmware and see if that helps. The Dahua HFW3200S camera shows artifacts when using the maximum resolution of 1080p@30fps.

MaxIcon 0 Posted December 23, 2013 Those are dropped p-frames. Does it go away if you use a lower resolution or bit rate? I think the Sonia software is part of the software library that TI provides for use with their DM365 processors. I don't know if Dahua tweaks it for their own purposes. I've always had trouble with the 3X00 performance at higher bit rates. The DM365 product line manager for TI is named Sonia, for what that's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, with lower resolution the problem is "solved". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
