Video looks like timelapse footage

[b3ddy]

Hi,

I'm running into an issue where the recordings look like timelapse footage. The record settings are set for 30sec, but when I go to video they are ~2-3 seconds long. The downloaded video appears to be even shorter at ~1sec. I've uploaded a quick video demonstrating the issue here https://vimeo.com/821003839?share=copy

Screenshots of settings here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Interesting, this looks like frame loss (due to network connectivity). Can you share the logs generated by the agent? What kind of camera are you using, how is it connected?

Hey @cedricve,

Hope this helps, this is the log generated by the agent docker container. It's the RPI Camera v3 and it's currently connected via WIFI with a strong signal.

@b3ddy, does the Agent and RPI camera run on the same board? You are using the sidecar container to proxy to an RTSP stream?

[b3ddy]

Hey @cedricve Yes, both are running on Raspberry Pi 4 with RPICamv3. Utilizing aler9/rtsp-simple-server:latest-rpi(Image ID bf58f0231d60) docker image as the sidecar to provide the agent with RTSP stream url and the agent docker image is kerberos/agent:latest(Image ID bd75dfb8182a). Knowing that the camera and agent are on the same board, network connectivity shouldn't be an issue, right?

[cedricve]

Exactly! I do run the same setup on one of my boards. Only difference is that we I this image: kerberos/rtsp-simple-server:latest-rpi.

Can you give that one a try?
