mursecu 0 Posted February 4, 2018 Hello, I have (3) 4MP cameras along with (5) 2MP cameras. These IP cameras use H.264 compression. I have all ( cameras wired into a BV-Tech 8 port POE switch. https://www.amazon.com/BV-Tech-Port-Switch-Ports-Uplink/dp/B005GAATOG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517757535&sr=8-3&keywords=bv+tech+8+port+poe+switch I have the switch connected to a gigabit router. All cabling is cat5e. My PC based recorder has an AMD 8-core CPU @ 3.2GHZ and 16GB of RAM. When I add the cameras to ispy connect or blue iris software I get lagging video. The frame rate goes to 2-3fps on all cameras. My computer hardware seems to be suitable as the cpu doesnt go over 50% and 40% on ram. I thought the problem may be the POE switch because it is 10/100mbps and not 1000mbps but bandwidth calculators say the cameras stream at 8mbps per camera. That is 64mbps max. Why is my frame rate reduced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
