I currently have my cameras set to high quality for export snapshots.

The resulting photos displayed on the dashboard are heavily pixelated with digital artifacts and banding. (see below)

Does the server compress the snapshots resolution on arrival? Can I do anything, such as lowering the transmit quality to avoid the compression?

Thanks

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.

Guess I should have posted my question five years ago when this forum was still active.
