[Motion-user] Motion on Raspberry Pi - Very Low Frame Rate

[Mick S. <mi...@su...>]

Hi,

I have installed Motion on Raspi using this link

http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera/?ALLSTEPS

I have got it working, but the video it produces is very jumpy to say 
the least.  Looking at the clock bottom right it takes a frame every two 
or three seconds.  I originally had the framerate set to 2 frames per 
second, I have tried it at 5 and 15 but it doesn't seem to make any 
difference at all.

I was copying the files to a network drive, across the wi-fi network, 
and thought that this may cause the problem, so I changes it to save to 
the SD card, still no change.

I have tried recording a video with the standard Pi command "raspivid -o 
video.h264" and that works fine

Any ideas what could cause this, or what I can do to fault find further?

Thanks
Mick
