Luxriot performance

[steveg]

Splitting off from the other thread about CCTV software, it seems that different users are getting varying performance with luxriot software. Here it is quite slow to load to a specific time (up to 10 seconds) and playback, especially backwards can be very jerky and slow.

 

Server is virtualised but a good spec, and a relatively small number of cameras (currently 8, but was same performance with 4.

 

Can I check what cameras other people are using with it, and what settings? Here they are all hikvision cameras, and the settings on the camera are as follows:

 

Resolution 3840 * 2160

Bitrate type: variable

Video Quality: Medium

Frame rate: 8fps

Max bitrate: 5120Kbps

Max Average bitrate: 2560Kbps

Video Encoding: H.265

H.265+: On (on the newer cameras that support this)

 

I have the same setup at home, only running off a pc, but just 1 older hikvision camera and performance is similarly bad.

I have a similar setup.

Do you have Hikvision cameras? How is performance on your system?

Luxriot support advised the following which worked a treat fixing the performance issues:

"Can you please update to the Luxriot EVO 1.16.0 as we have greatly optimized the Monitor performance.

You can see in the release notes: Significant playback and instant playback improvements (performance optimization, fully reworked timeline)"

 

We have since purchased the product.

 

I believe H.265+ might cause performance issues on non-Hikvision VMS at is proprietary (I think). It certainly didn't play nicely when we were testing out Hikvision cameras with Synology Surveillance.

 

The 8MP Hikvision cameras are working fine with H.265 on Luxriot.

 

If you have any issues during testing, I strongly recommend contacting Luxriot support who are very responsive and helpful.
