Hi all.

I'm new in the IP-Cam world.
I've connected two Reolink RLC-520 IP-CAMs.

I've played around with resolution, bitrate and FPS - but I encounter a problem.
When streaming via the Reolink Client (windows) then the frames "jumps". I can see that the time-stamps jumps a lot. I can see that movements are "flickering" of "old" frames being submitted.
Sometimes I also encounter GREEN frames (if that is any help).
I've checked the recordings, and they show exactly the same issue as the live-stream - hence it's the actual stream, which is affected.

Any tips and tricks?

Hi all.

I'm new in the IP-Cam world.
I've connected two Reolink RLC-520 IP-CAMs to a Synology NAS.

The camera is a 5MP version with 2-30 FPS.

My intention is to reduce the file size by reducing the FPS from 30 to a lower number, but the file sizes remain roughly the same.
I can see that the file size seems to roughly match the bitrate (e.g. 8Mb/s = 1MB/s).
I simply cannot understand why a 5MP 2-FPS video also "needs" 8Mb/s, when a 5MP 30-FPS requires the same. There's something wrong with that.

So, at the moment, I achieve no major file size reduction by lowering the FPS.

Can anyone help me with some tips and tricks?
