Howdy Dan & Jessica,
Thank you for the replies!
Is there an order I should follow to implement the instructions from you? That is, the order these instructions should be done and/or checked for results, Dan's 1st then Jessica's, or other way around, doesn't matter? Please advise.
For Dan,s instructions, to verify that the camera is holding the settings, is it the Web login settings menu I check, or on the DVR's menu, or both?
I assume that the settings made via the Web login to the camera should remain on the menu to be seen again after logging out, and then logging in again? I ask because I have seen some menus that default back to being blank or showing the default settings, even though the changes that were made remain in the device. Something that really sucks as far as keeping track of what the current settings are. For example, on this camera I gave it a name on the Web menu, and it shows this name on the live view screen, but when the Web menu where I made this name set is re-entered, the field box is blank again, as it was prior to my having set a name there. Same problem when I did the time zone & daylight savings settings.
Also, I am thinking it might be prudent to hold off a day or so before I do the instructions you just sent, for I noted today when I did the video recording reviews of last nights recordings, that there were no skips in this cameras recording. Maybe setting the camera to FPS to 15, & VBR Bit Rate to 1500 as per Dan's instruction using the WEB service, and no changes at the DVR,s "System> Camera> Encode" menu, may have solved the issue? Although it would be nice to be able to have the 30 fps. Showing my ignorance here, but don't know what setting the VBR Bit Rate down to 1500 effects? That is what is the loss to the cameras optimal functioning?
I will take a of photo of what the Web Stream Configuration for Stream 1 ( the menu in photo [14] at the top of this post, and one of the DVR Encode menu ( the menu in photo [5] at the top of this post), and see what they say settings are that were made yesterday FYI. But will probably wait until tomorrow to get to it now. Got tied up today and just got online to check this Topic, and now Shannara is coming on, gotta watch that, real Terry Brooks fan you know, ha. Any how, will post those in a follow-up reply.
Again, thanks for the help, may get this camera recording steady and its audio working yet!
