Peter_ 2 Posted August 2, 2011 During the day my mobotix m12 does a steady 6.0 fps, whereas during the night it does 12.5fps. How do I fix the day frame rate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_ 2 Posted August 5, 2011 Bump! Anyone have any ideas for me? Appreciate the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voipmodo 0 Posted August 5, 2011 The frame rate on the M12 is dependent on the size of the image being recorded. The max frame rate for the color sensor(day) is 10fps when you are recording at 3megapixel. The night sensor (B/W) is 1.3 megapixel and gives a max frame rate of about 14fps. Those are max rates. If you need faster day frame rate, you need to lower the image resolution and make sure you are only recording the output of 1 sensor at a time and not both and using the MXPEG codec. THe MJPG option is about half the frame rate of MXPEG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_ 2 Posted August 5, 2011 Currently the resolution is set to MEGA (1280x960) and it doesn't seem to want to break 6 fps during the day. (Also, thanks for the reply voipmodo, I actually purchased the camera thru you and was happy with the service/shipping).

Voipmodo 0 Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks for the business! You get free support with purchase so you can call us M-F if you need any setup or install help. How many motion windows do you have active? Frame rate on the mobotix can theoretically reach their stated maxes but only under ideal conditions, with in camera recording, etc etc.. The more motion windows or other programmed events you have running the more processing power you are using, thus lower frame rates. The M12 is a good camera, but is limited in its frame rates for those reasons. That said you should be getting more then 6. Try setting image recording to medium instead of high to start. Josh P.
