Title: Several second delay ??
Post by: fordem on August 14, 2008, 08:21:34 AM
Sitting at my desk I can see through a window a view which would be slightly to the left of what my DCS900 can see - there is some overlap, in that a street to the left of the view through the window appears on extreme right of the camera image.

I have noticed that there appears to be a brief delay - perhaps a second or two between what I can see through the window and what I can see on screen.

The DCS900 and the PC I am viewing it from are connected to the same switch and ping times are all <1mS, so I don't see this as being a network related issue - should I assume that this is just how these camera work and the delay is perhaps some sort of internal processing latency?

You are correct this is normal.

Fast forward to 2015. I'm using a DCS-935L with mydlink+ in Local View and I can see my hand raised up about 2-3 seconds later on my mini IPad. Are the delays still expected?

Yes, tablets are slow especially with wifi.
