Camera signal seems corrupt.
Hi, I have recently bought a webcam to use with this software, I sent it back because of the signal being corrupt. The second camera I tried has the same problem. Below is a screenshot of how the camera looks in Vitamin D.

Re: Camera signal seems corrupt.
josephtaylor1995,
What type of camera are you using? It looks like the camera is using a video mode that Vitamin D Video is having trouble decoding. Here's what I would suggest: try changing the video settings on the camera. If you're using H.264, try MPEG4 or MJPEG. If you're using RTSP and can use HTTP, do it. ...or maybe try decreasing the frame rate (VDV only needs 10 frames per second). ...or try tweaking other settings on the camera (they typically have a ton).
All of the above settings can typically be accessed via the camera's built-in web server.
If you figure out how to make it work by doing some tweaking, please let us know what you did to make it work (and also let us know the make/model of the camera). We always appreciate being able to pass advice on to other users.
Best of luck!
