Title: Choppy video in Playback System.
Post by: Tacis on March 25, 2018, 01:06:31 AM
Hello!

We have a bunch of DCS-2103 cameras and a dedicated Windows server with D-Link VewCam 4.2.1. When connecting to this server by Playback System installed remotely, the video is choppy (plays about a second and then freezes for about a second). Saved recorded video plays smothly by Media Player Classic.

How do we fix this?

What Mfr and model is the main host router?
Is the video choppy when locally or streaming from remote?
How many cameras are connected to the server?
what is the server specs? CPU speed and memory?
What is the local network specs?
Internet spec? Speeds UP and Down?

What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera.

I can't look there, cameras are mounted high up under the ceiling. :( From FW version I presume, HW version is A1.

Live streaming seems to be OK either locally or remotely.
It's Playback System (from D-Link VewCam 4.2.1) that plays choppy video remotely.
