160mb 16ch NVR and I cant max bitrate!! Can’t get past 4096!! I have 7x4mp and 2x8mp. Itb storage (does this count?)

HELP please good people

 

[Phil]

Please, start again, and explain what you have (make and model) and what the problem is.

 

[Simon187]

I have DS-7616NI-K2 / 16P

7x4mp and 2x8mp turret

All Hikvision

Can only settle on 4096 bitrate (all cams @ full res)

Is this correct? They should be at 16384 surely?

Many thanks in advance!

Bump

 

[Phil]

Please upload a screenshot of the settings you are concerned about

 

[Simon187]

Thanks Phil, see attached. I can’t het higher than 4096 on Any camera regardless of resolution etc without locking up and freezing etc

Change to variable bit rate, High quality and set your cameras to use the h.265+ CODEC

 

[Simon187]

Tried that, I get all sorts of rubbish image quality I’m afraid

 

[Simon187]

Would it work if I had a bigger storage disk? I mean, I only have 1TB is that capping my bandwidth?

 

[Phil]

A small drive does not limit performance - it just fills quickly.
An unsuitable drive could be a problem i.e. we would only recommend Western Digital Purple or Seagate Iron Wolf.

I don't know why you are seeing quality problems.
Are your cameras directly connected to your NVR?
(the cameras are plugged into the camera ports on the rear of the NVR?)
Are you using bought or home-made cables?

 

[Simon187]

Some cables are home made. The latest ones to the new 8MP were bought though. It seems odd that on a NVR with 160mb in and out I can’t achieve the max bitrate. I may try the H.264/5+ again and see how it goes.
