Monitors glitch out when cameras set to RECORD

Post by krizzle »

Hey,

I'm running ZM 1.36.29 and have 4 of my wired cameras set to record constantly. When I try and view those cameras in the Monitor tab, they rarely stream normally. Most times they will freeze and sometimes they will flash a black screen that says "Not Connected" then "Unable to Stream" before going back to a frozen view of the feed. Is there something I should be looking at in my settings that will remedy this? The load only shows to hit a max of about 15 and I'm not even close to capacity of my storage drive. When reverting back to Modect the monitors stream smooth live video feeds. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Here's my current storage setup for the cameras to see what I'm recording.

I take it you need to insert time or something into the recording.
What’s your frame rate? Does reducing it help?
