[Camera Support]: Need expertise with finetuning my config.

[BelgarionNL]

Describe the problem you are having

I believe I am getting 5fps on my main stream for recording I would like to increase it to 15.

plus I might be missing some additional configuration parameters that will improve the overall quality/performance.

right now its running on my rpi for testing for my parents house but I will be copying it over to my i5 8th gen Unraid server.

Recordings are copied from the camera stream directly, if your recordings are 5 fps then that's because the camera is setup incorrectly.

using the reolink app I am getting smooth playback.

am I simply misunderstanding this:

[NickM-27]

That is for detection not recording, based on your config you have not enabled recordings.

FYI, when moving to your i5 machine you have the option of using "preset-intel-qsv-h264" or "preset-intel-qsv-h265" instead of your current (commented out) "preset-vaapi" if you wanted to.

The docs say you need ">=10th Generation only", but according to the Quick Sync Wikipedia page 8th-gen should work too. I just set up my i7-8700 machine using "preset-intel-qsv-h264" and it works great, as I expected it would.
