I’ve been using the current version of NCS for the past few days with my Wyze V2 cameras and have been very happy with the performance and features. One item that I can’t get to work is to adjust the bitrate settings of the recordings. The recordings currently use a very high bitrate of approximately 15 Mbps and adjusting the slider for the recording quality doesn’t seem to change this setting. As a result, an hour of recording is roughly 10 GB in size.
My configuration is as follows.
Windows 10 Laptop with i5-3320M CPU and integrated Intel HD 4000 GPU
(2) Wyze V2 cameras using RTSP for streaming
GPU setting in NCS: Intel (results in 30% CPU usage, using other settings results in 98% CPU usage)
Are there adjustments in NCS that can be made to decrease the bitrate resulting in smaller file sizes? I changed the CRF to both the minimum and maximum settings and saw no change in the assigned bitrate. I would think this should have a direct impact on the bitrate but I’m not sure why it didn’t.
