Cameras fallback to lower quality

[joshkrz]

Hi there,

I use two Microsoft webcams: a HD3000 and a VX-1000 for outdoor CCTV.

I can enable the max resolution and framerate on both cameras and it displays fine for about 10 seconds then they start falling back to lower qualities and framerates until eventually there running at a very low resolution but an ok framerate.

I am testing this at dusk so I'm wondering is this intentional to try and improve framerate at a cost of resolution (framerate drops the darker it gets). I have tested this out on other software and they display at their correct resolutions on Windows and Linux Mint.

Anyway how do I stop this from happening and if I can't does the quality improve automatically the lighter it gets?

Thank you.

Just to update, this happens to the cameras even during the day. Why is it doing this when other software including iSpy run them just fine, I really need to get this working as it cuts off the edges of my cameras view.
Thank you.

Hi! Have you tried Xeoma Beta 16.7.18 yet? This issue was supposed to be resolved there.

In general, when you set high framerate and/or resoltion,it affects CPU work. Xeoma is trying to reduce CPU load and brings the settings down. It's how it was made. But, we've changed it in a last Beta version. Is it all right now?
