Getting the hang of it

Hello,
I finally replaced my Wyze cams with 3 5MP Amcrest cameras IP5M-T1179EW-28MM model.
However, I found that when I go to the Status page, all 3 new cameras show 0.50, but the Amcrest Doorbell shows it as 1.00.

Why would the cameras which are better quality show as 0.50?
Is there a setting I need to change or is this normal for these type of cameras?

Under the Video tab, make the frame rate and I Frame the same. Some of the Dahua/Amcrest cams default to making I Frame 2X which then = .50 that you see there.

You need to access the web GUI of each camera and make the changes there. There should be a "video" type category where you can set frame rate, iframe rate, resolution, encoding and so on. The frame and iframe rates need to match, 15/15 for example, to produce a "key" rate of 1.

Change the "frame interval" to 20 instead of 40. Every manufacturer seems to use different terms for the same things just to make it more "fun".

Manufacturers all seem to do it. Nothing unusual at all. I'm surprised your doorbell was set for a key frame of 1.

Noticed this message on the camera GUI - I tried using 8000 and 16000 and still get the error.
Do these settings look ok or should I change it to something else?

Yeah, As far as I can see, my amcrest AD110 doorbell cam Shown at the bottom, X.X.X.17 has a lower I-frame rate, ( default) haven't screwed with it as far as I can remember. I don't think it's adjustable?Screenshot 2022-01-25 193015.png

Even the POS DB1C lets you set the frame ad iframe rates so I would think the AD110 would as well given it's a Dahua under the hood. Now, whether or not the DB1C actually holds those rates....

As far as the error you're getting at higher bit rates the CPU, such as a camera has a CPU, may be overloaded by the higher bit rates and can't do everything at once. SOething has to give so it drops the audio out.

I don't know if Amcrest App has those controls. It doesn't seem to respond to IP Login's at its physical address. It just times out. They must not want us in there.

I did it with the DB1C through the EZviz studio, their app is the pits for configuring anything other than the basics, like a login.

It's ok. I port the audio from doorbell in Blue iris (learned from Looney2ns, ) to another camera in the Driveway. So now my POS analog Nightowl turdCam, has audio.
I have a 5231 z12 sitting here, a 5442 as LED 28 MM, and misplaced that other one that came in a box with BNC to RJ-45 adapters. Plus a 8 Ch. Amcrest 4108,
Need weather better than -5 to even think about messing with the home system. I may run both NVR;s initially and when I get ebough IP cams I'll take the Analog system offline,
and start a bonfire. and burn the Nightowl recorder.
