Unstable connection #1353

Wyze Cam v2

Using latest build and usb_eth_driver my camera is running over ethernet, but extremely unreliably. Consistently getting over 30 disconnect/no signal errors an hour in Blue Iris (not necessarily every 2 minutes, I just averaged that out after leaving it running for 12 hours - 350 in 12 hours), which is more than I was getting running the Wyze RTSP firmware (around 200 in 12 hours). I did try running it over WiFi for a bit before switching it to ethernet, and the number of disconnects was about the same. What can I do to increase stability?

Reduce resolution? Enable swap?

jered6323 commented 4 years ago

Enabling swap seems to have made a slight improvement - 3 disconnects in the past 10 minutes, which would be 18 per hour if it holds steady. Resolution is currently 1280x720 at 15fps. Would reducing that make a difference?

jered6323 commented 4 years ago

Update: 12 disconnects in an hour, but it seems to be happening more frequently now.

Also enabled swap on another camera that's on WiFi, getting around 1 disconnect per minute.

Edit: My WiFi cam is performing exactly the same as the one with Wyze RTSP firmware - around 1 disconnect per minute (at 15 minutes both had 17 disconnects).

Did you try a decent power supply?

jered6323 commented 4 years ago

I'm using the power supply that came with the camera (5v - 1a).

jmtatsch commented 4 years ago

Try a different/better one if you have one.

jered6323 commented 4 years ago

Tried using an iPad charger for the last hour (5v - 2.1a), same problem/amount with disconnects.

However Blue Iris is now eventually giving the error "Error: 80002745 (Socket error: 10053) 0" and will not show the stream again until I restart the camera, but the camera is still viewable by going to it's IP address.

Do you have audio on? If so what are your audio settings?

This is honestly more an issue of Blue Iris and i've never been able to get anyone there to care, even though i own a license.

One thing you can do to "fix" it is to enable Decoder compatability mode, but then you get artifacts on your image, enough to cause triggers.

How do i know its Blue Iris? Because i can take VLC and connect to the RTSP stream and run at CBR @ 5000 bitrate and 25FPS and never drop a frame, or atleast if frames are being dropped its doing it gracefully and i can't visibly see it in the timestamp on the image incrementing every second. I can go into the video stream settings and see it receiving at 5k bitrate @ 1080p. Meanwhile if i set my image to anything above say 100 bitrate @ Fixed QP and 10FPS i continuously get drops.

All 4 of my Wyze V2's are fixed with 8db external antenna and are no more than maybe 20 feet from a wifi extender.
