I posted a question earlier on lowlight live view vs. recording through the eufySecurity phone app, where live view was very clear, but recording playback was too compressed thus useless.
I just realized the RTSP feed from the camera that I recorded through Blue Iris on PC is also terribly compressed, so also useless for security purpose. See the 3 different screenshots I took below.
At this point, I am guessing there are actually 2 video streams:
- a “high quality low compression” stream just for eufySecurity live view
- a “low quality high compression” stream for both recording to camera’s SD card and RTSP
So a few thoughts…
- I am assuming liveview is the 2K stream, but SD recording and RTSP use the 1080p stream? Can anyone confirm?
- I selected “2K HD” as the recording quality in the app, why is the recording still so terrible vs. liveview when both should be in 2K?
- Even assuming RTSP is 1080p, the compression rate is way to high. Need to have a setting to dial it down.
Live view is very clear
RTSP feed is terrible (no transcoding, directly recording to AVI)
Playback in eufySecurity is also terrible
