So I changed the settings on that camera. The FPS rate was on 10 so I left it on 10. The i-frame was set on 2 so I changed that to 10. Sent the dog and cat in front of that camera, then looked at the previews vs the proper recordings. Now the proper recordings, instead of starting 4 or 5...
I think you're on to something with the I-frame setting (in the actual camera settings apparently) - I found this on the BI website forums - I'll get to work on it and report back tomorrow after another night of cat comings and goings!
e: Not replaying entire clip

We're recording clips direct to disc, so I believe as this doesn't involve compressing of data, i-frame and key frame settings are not involved. Is this correct?
Ah, maybe it's that - a while back we needed to reduce CPU load so we reduced the frame rates on some of the cameras from 25 FPS to 10 FPS. Do I need to make the same change to the FPS settings within the BI program for those cameras? If I didn't do that, could it cause this problem?
I've viewed this as mainstream direct from the BI program on the dedicated computer we use, and also as a substream on the web interface on a different computer, but the result is the same. We record only on triggar, motion activated. The issue really is why the content of a clip is different...
I've already tried that, it increases RAM and processor load, and I still get 3 or 4 seconds missing from the start of the full-screen playback compared to the thumbnail summary.
I have one of my cameras indoors trained on our catflap so we can keep an eye on our cat's movements, especially at night. In the morning I have a quick look at the thumbnails, which often show his head just emerging from the catflap as he is coming in, and the clock on the thumbnail will say...
His technique on the gas pedal reminded me of my late father's attempts to learn how to use cooker controls when preparing meals after my mother died. He only recognised two positions - OFF and MAX...
I did think of informing the driver's employers but I thought he's probably in enough trouble...
There are plenty of turret cameras out there with the ring of leds around the optical lens just like my bullet cameras, so I'm assuming it's the more modern type with a single lens for the led light which are considered to be much better when there is spider silk around. Why exactly is the...
You were right! I went to look again and this time with my plus 2 glasses and a magnifying glass and then I could see there were some tiny strands of spider silk that I'd not spotted before. You're also right about my new cameras, so what is it about turret cameras and 'Exir' that stops them...
