So I have recently purchased a FI9821W to install on my front porch to see people walking up. My problem is I am getting terrible frame rates. Sometimes (rarely) the camera will work properly and I will get 30 fps, most of the time I am getting 1 fps or sometimes even less.
I currently have my cam running over POE with cat 6 network cables, the length of the cables is less than 100'. I am using blue iris software and also have tested this with other camera software such as ispy and the problem persists. My camera is set up with static IP as well. My CPU usage is also not an issue, at this time blue iris states I am only using 2% and I have 4gb of ram available. This is my first foscam camera and I am becoming very frustrated with it and about to throw it out. I've had other family members who have had foscam cameras with great success.
Right now I just want my camera to work properly and I cannot figure out why it won't. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've searched for solutions extensively nothing I've tried has worked. My next option that I am thinking about would be to replace the network cable from my POE to my camera but I am really hoping to avoid that and don't see it necessary considering there are times that I will be able to run at 30 fps with no issues.
