Update to above post: Images are produced by an Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-AI-V3.
The video resolution drives Image Resolution in Amcrest Cameras.
- I've reduced the resolution in steps from a maximum of 5M to a minimum of 720, and no change in output quality has been seen on the remote server.
- I also changed CODECS from H.264 to H.264B, H.264H, and H.265, with no improvement.
- All camera settings(WDR, WB, ETC) are at defaults. My network has almost no latency, and I have direct 1 Gbps fiber to the residence. I have a PFSense firewall with a SNORT IDS in operation, but the ports are wide open, with no throughput lag.
- Camera Image output captured at the firewall WAN egress is of near-perfect quality.
I suspect aggressive compression occurs on the remote Meteobridge server, but I wonder if others on this forum have experienced the same poor imagery. I don't expect high-resolution GOES quality imagery, but my still images are so pixelated that they are of little value to the end viewers; they are just a novelty.
