Axis 2100 @ 640x480 resolution ?

Post by mad-max »

Hi,

We got our cams working at 320x240 resolution using path:
/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320x240

Using : /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=640x480 which would be logical to use, doesn't work.

Using the web interface of the axis does show 640x480 images. Does anybody has an idea how this should work?

Best regards
alexander

Try reducing Buffers to (say) 25

Reducing buffers to 25 helps a little. Now I get a 640x480 image so now and then. One moment I get the image, then I get 6 images just like the still view, then the 640x480 image back and so on. I also got a lot of disturbance but I think I'll keep it at 320x240. My CPU is running almost at his limits :(

Thanx.

Try reducing Buffers to (say) 12.

When you are reducing buffers to fit in a larger image you are basically making it use the same sized shared memory segment for fewer but larger buffers. You should be able to get it to use a larger memory segment either by doing a full restart so that all segments are deleted and recreated(they cannot be resized up once created), or manually deleting them.

If this fails to create the segment because you have exceeded the configured shared memory size on your system you will have to adjust the kernel parameters to allow for a larger segment. This can usually be done manually, check for 'shmmax' in the README or search for it in the forums for details.

Reducing buffers to 12 is probably too low to be recommended.
