The video plays back too fast - Video Compression | ||
---|---|---|
Your videos seem to be running in fast motion because
they are compressed to save disc space on your computer.
If you have enough hard drive space, or don't have
enough videos accumulating between deletions, then you
can adjust the compression rate to get a better video.
(If this does not resolve your playback speed issue, please refer to
The video plays back too fast
- Frame Rate for a possible solution.) FYI: Remember you can PAUSE a video, and use the time slider to look at individual frames. Also, in the case of a suspicious activity being on your video, we have software that can pull individual frames out for better viewing. These individual frames can also be slightly enhanced for better lighting if needed. |
