The live view from my security cameras freeze for 10-30 seconds when someone enters the field of view.
- By “live” view, I mean what is shown in a Picture Glance card or directly from the cameras local web view outside of HA.
- I’m using “EmpireTech (Dahua/Loryta) 4MP 1/1.8” CMOS" cameras (IPC-T549M-ALED-S3). I have five cameras
- The cameras are wired Ethernet via POA switches.
- HA is using the ONVIF integration.
- I have event detection and any local camera’s SDCARD recording disabled as I thought that might be causing the camera feed to freeze.
- I don’t have this freezing happen with the camera’s direct web view if I have HA shut down. So it kind of looks like HA is doing something when someone enters the view. Maybe HA is doing something like requesting a bunch of stuff and overloading the camera’s direct view?
- A given camera freezes when someone enters the view from another camera.
- I have an automation that captures a snapshot of my front entry and texts the snapshot to my phone when someone trips an ultrasonic proximity sensor on my walkway. That works well. But when I go to HA to view the live view, whoever is there is gone by the time the Picture Glance card is un-frozen and starts updating 30 seconds later.
- When I had local recording enabled on the cameras, the recording was continuous without gaps or freezing during this event.
Anybody seen this?
