I recently got my cameras setup on BI and the image looks pretty grainy, even for a 4mp camera. Are there any settings I should be looking at to get this fixed?

Hi @cwilson1996
See the DORI section of the cliff notes, I've recently updated it.
Calculate the ID distance, and got to that distance and get a image from there ( at the 100 ppf density zone ). You can hold up a sign and see how well the image capture issue.
Then reduced your distance from the camera in 1/2 and take images ..
Without knowing your settings and looking at that image, I think the bitrate is too low.
Go to H264 without the + or any other letters.
Smart Codec off
CBR not VBR
8192 bitrate minimum
And make sure you are not looking at the substream.

That worked. I didn't realize at first that I couldn't change those settings through BI. I see now that all this changed after I copied and pasted the main and sub streams over from the Wiki here. I was trying to get my cpu usage down.

Those settings are all in the camera. BI is only a receiver of the information being sent by the camera.
