Title: Poor quality on the images view in DCS5222L
Post by: foongkim on March 20, 2014, 11:27:41 PM

Hi, recently i purchased DCS 5222L. After i have configured and setup all, i get shocked as the quality of the device is very poor.

I am using firmware 1.12 and build number is 3404. My agent version is 2.0.17-b42.

I read the spec, seems i can have 702P. But my device only showing 240p.

Anyone can help where did i configured wrongly? This is my setup:

Encode Type: H.264
Resolution: 1280X720
FPS: 30
Encode Method: CBR
bps: 4Mbps
RTSP URL : play1.sdp

Please help.

The resolution of the live video feed is throttled down when viewing through the mydlink service versus viewing the feed locally from a PC on the same LAN as the network camera.

@foongkim, any update on this issue? Did you try disabling CBR as RYAT3 suggested?

I don't think there's anything you can do to fix the image resolution for remote viewing.  You can get HD resolution images using the web browser to directly login to the camera so, clearly the camera is capable of better quality than remote viewing allows. There's no excuse for throttling the image down to 240 when viewing remotely.  Frankly, this performance should be an embarrassment to D-Link.

Kindly show the steps on how to "disabling CBR to enable 480p viewing"
Thanks.

Note: If not, people won't know how to do it.
