Title: Good clear video but record and playback are very choppy.
Post by: ghost on November 17, 2009, 07:25:04 PM

I have a dcs 920. I am running windows 7 32bit on a p4 3GHz with 4 g mem. I have very choppy record and playback of the video. I have a very clear picture. What can I do to make it run smooth. Thanks.

Is the camera connected wirelessly? If so do you see the same results wired?

Also, which software are you using for recording, and is it the latest?

Which is the model of your video card, and is it integrated to your motherboard?

Thanks guys. It only does the choppy on wireless. I have a linksys WRT150N router. It works great with everything else I have thats wireless. I am running dlink view cam 2.03 software. I have a nvidia 7950 with 1GHZ dedicated mem. It is not integrated into the mother board.

I have played with 2 920's wirelessly and could not get a decent 640x480, so lowered to 320x240 and 10 FPS. It still was choppy, and seemed to not get above 5-6 FPS net per camera. Have now gone back to wired, as the Wireless-g on the 920 is seemingly not very quick (even against wireless-n router). Awaiting results on the new 1130 (methinks), which is supposed to be faster as it is Wireless-n.

My advise: keep them wired if image quality or motion sensing is important.
