Sorry for the callout @matt1 , but I think you’re the only one who can help with your binding. It’s been working well with a few hiccups (actually heap space errors, but I could run for days before I’d see them), but I updated to your snapshot a couple days ago to fix them, and now I can’t go for ten…

I had a recent/same problem when I went from only one camera to four. One big change you can make is turning off the image channel from updating. My guess is the binding can send data faster then what your Pi and openhab can process when you have more then 3 cameras. Openhab seems to send the pictu…

Thanks for the suggestions and prompt reply! Will give a go and post results.

Thanks for the link, I was having trouble tracking it down! Actually, I did just the reverse trying to solve the issue: increase poll rate in both the binding and the sitemap for all cameras from 1000 to 3000ms, and decreased the snapshot JPG quality in all camera settings. The only thing I can thi…

It is purely the image channel stop it from updating nothing to do with motion or alarms, they use next to nothing. Every time it updates it will send a full dump of the picture to your log file and much more so it is a bottleneck and this binding stresses it out more than any other binding. Video i…

Thanks again for the link, I was able to set up my four cameras as you suggested, commenting out the image channel, adding UPDATE_IMAGE=false to the Things file, creating the HTML files, and using the Webview sitemap object. My results were mixed: BasicUI (FIrefox) would load the images about half…

[image] Diogenes: commenting out the image channel, That is not enough to stop it updating, you need to add this to the things file for each camera. UPDATE_IMAGE=false If you setup the first substream of the camera to be mjpeg in the cameras own setup then you can use the mjpeg stream to gi…

You’re right, I did add that line, but forgot to mention it (added it my post above). I’ll try the mjpeg, see if that’s better.

Ok, couple things I tried: Setup all cameras with substream 1, mjpeg @ 2fps. The two 2493EW’s displayed perfectly, using the following src: <a href="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/static/allcams.html"><img id=amc123 src=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.123/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=1 width=99.4% bo…

Have you read the read me file? See the snapshot and mjpeg sections as you are not using the bindings abilities and instead using the cameras direct urls. U will have to keep entering in logins that way.

Yep, I read them, and as I described, I was having trouble using the HTML approach and defined port numbers. So I described my testing procedure to make sure the cameras themselves were setup correctly and outputting the correct stream (which it appears they are). So I was trying to go back and figu…

Yes please do post what you find is the limit of a 1gb pi3. I would love to know why changing to the newer binding made it worse, did you add more cameras or change the poll rate at the same time or perhaps up the snapshot quality at the same time?

The how to i was referring to is here.
