Re: Simple Custom Video Dashboard 30+ FPS

For those getting mysteriously low frame rates one thing to check is the camera configuration. The Axis camera's video server has an option to limit the frame rate, and there may be (or have been) software floating around that reconfigures it without your direct intent..

Connect the camera directly to a computer that's configured with a 192.168.0.X IP address, and open the camera IP (192.168.0.90) in a web browser. Go to the video configuration page and see if the frame rate limiting is set.

This happened to us. When we first tried the camera, running direct to a web browser, it was real-time video fast. Later in the build season, running through the cRIO/classmate/video dashboard we were stuck at 2 FPS no matter what we did. Looking at the config page, guess what we found? We have no idea how it got that way.
