The default codec option is AAC at 16k, with other options being G.711A and G.711Mu. I did not experiment with changing these.

Well I feel silly now because I just spent some time playing with it and turning off the noise filter fixed it. Someone actually suggested that above, but I misread and thought they wanted me to have it on. The noise filter was totally trashing the audio and I could only see it being useful...

Just following up on this (sorry, got really busy). I checked one of my cameras that is on wired ethernet and the audio is still crap. Sounds like that scene in Apollo 13 when the cold and nearly dead tape player is floating around the spaceship. Loud noises come through clearly but speech is...

Cameras are on wifi. I'll try a wired test and see if that changes anything. Hard to believe audio can't be reliably streamed over wifi... The noise filter in the Amcrest audio settings is enabled.

I have 10 Amcrest IP2M-841 cameras recording with Blue Iris. There is something very wrong with the audio recording as it comes out very squelchy and poor sounding in any recordings and also seems to be delayed slightly. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong with the recording settings...

Yup, that's what I've done on a couple dozen cameras that are fixed position. I got the wifi cameras so I could move them around as needed.

So how do I prove that I'm having an RF environment problem? The symptoms seems so much more like some kind of "bandwidth trap", as I keep calling it. Like if the camera fell behind for just a tick and then got stuck there.

The way you describe it, it is such a wonder that it can work for many hours straight. If it errs, a tiny reset fixes it. Feels a lot more like a networking bug than a pervasive RF problem. If it would an RF problem it would come and go, right?

Ok, but Wifi is designed to share airspace amongst clients, right? If what you're describing is pervasive, you'd never get a wifi network to work with more than one client. For the hours that the cameras are working perfectly, is that just pure luck that they're not interferring with each...

Oh, and concerning the two cameras that I mentioned that are right near their AP. I've observed either or neither or both of them get stuck in this bandwidth trap. One can operate perfectly and the other sinks to a few fps. It is just really hard to imagine that this is happening because of...

The bandwidth trap happens with different cameras at different times, including 2 cameras that are 8 and 10ft from an access point. The 8ft one is line of sight, and I have no other AP's in the house operating on that channel, and would have to go outside to see other AP's on that channel...

I wouldn't call that a solution. The bandwidth trap doesn't seem to relate to distance in any way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm big on wiring everything that can be wired. I also have 22 Ubiquiti POE cameras. However I want the ability to drop cameras in places without having the spend any amount of time. That is how I've been using the wifi cameras

For some reason I can't get liveview through the camera web interface anymore. The only way to do it before was using a chrome app and it seemed to just stop working a month or two ago (maybe coinciding with upgrade to win10?). I'll try restarting BI next time I see the problem. I'll try the...

I'm prepared to do this, but I'd like to get into it further and understand what the problem is and see if it can be fixed.
