Hi, 1st time post,long time user. I'm not even sure how to explain this. What is causing my camera to do this (attached)

https://imgbox.com/t1Phptrz

The top part of the image shows the forest. Go down about 10% of the image and the prior row of pixels is repeated until the bottom of the image, giving a vertical striped effect. Sometimes the majority of the picture is solid green. I'm monitoring property hundreds of miles away on a connection with 5 up. Could I be running out of bandwidth? The other 4 cameras don't have this issue.

thanks,
Steve

smearing! thanks @Magic919, now I at least know the term.

Start by clearing your FPS fields in the camera config. That always causes me issues.

Then see if ffmpeg is throwing any errors if you stream your rstp feed to the command line.
Something like:
ffmpeg -i "rtsp://camuser:campasswd@camip:554/Streaming/Channels/2?tcp" ./test.mp4 (This is a HikVision rstp path, use your cam's path from zm)
