charles_shaw 0 Posted April 1, 2014 I recently added a couple ACTi e77 IP cameras to my existing analog system. With my analog cameras, I get constant fps day or night. However with my new IP cameras, I notice fps will drop from 30 to around 3-5 fps. Is this normal with IP cameras? Is there anything I need to configure differently? There is very little traffic on the network the IP cameras run on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted April 1, 2014 What is the maximum shutter speed set to. I believe ACTi on sets it to 1/5 by default, hence the fastest it can move one frame is1/5th of a second, but there's compression overhead so in reality 3fps seems realistic. You can change the maximum exposure to something faster, I usually use 1/30th of a second, but you can experiment for what works best for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charles_shaw 0 Posted April 1, 2014 Shutter was set to default 1/5. I changed to 1/30. I'll see what effect this has tonight on low light areas. Is there a standard practice when setting shutter speed or just what works best for the environment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted April 1, 2014 Just depends on what your goals are, if you have enough light for the faster shutter speed. Some people are happy with 1/15th if it's just people walking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
