Hardware Acceleration crashes my camera

Getting the hang of it

I run BI 4.7.4.3 on an i7-4770 with 16 gb memory, SSD and 1tb hard drive (retired desktop from work, it was free!), with 20mb of cameras (7 total). I tried experimenting with QS/HA on 1 camera (Amcrest 4mb, POE), and it seemed to crash the connection, I would get frequent no signals in the log. Turning off HA for that camera would stop the problem.

I'm not sure I really need to use HA, as my CPU is below 20%, unless there is some benefit beyond reducing CPU usage?

I read the forums and realize this might be a video driver memory leak, although I don't think my symptoms match that. Any suggestions appreciated.

use h.264 not 265 and disable smart codec in the camera.

I was using h.264, not sure where smart codec is set in camera. Here is a copy of the video setting. If it is encode mode, options are H.264H or H.265
