Camera Video Quality Worse With ONVIF?
I have heard on a couple occassions that if you view a camera on a VMS when using ONVIF to connect the camera to the VMS that the video quality is not as good as it is if you connect the camera to the VMS using a driver. Has anyone had any experience with this?
Ken, I doubt that's the case. It could be indirectly because there was some configuration error (i.e., the ONVIF stream somehow got setup with a lower resolution or higher compression rate).
Was there any theory or explanation of why that happend in those instances?
John, the theory was that using a driver written using the API from the camea manufacture would somehow give better video quality then ONVIF all other configuration being equal. I hope that wouldn't be the case but was curious about anyone elses experience.
Most VMS's have default settings for each "driver" - ONVIF is just another one of these drivers.
It's possible that the default setting for the stream of the ONVIF driver could be lower than integrated driver for the particular camera.
