[Camera Support]: Dahua has a bandwidth of ... which exceeds the expected maximum. #20616

The high bandwidth usage (14.9 GB/hr) from your Dahua camera is likely caused by the camera's bitrate settings. Looking at your camera configuration screenshot, your main stream is set to 4096 Kbps at 25 fps, which is generating significantly more data than expected(1). The issue with recordings not playing in the browser while live view works fine suggests a codec compatibility problem. For recordings to play properly in web browsers, cameras should send H.264 encoded video(2). If your camera is using H.265 or other codecs, you may need to transcode them(3). Here are the key issues to address: 1. Reduce Camera Bitrate 2. Set I-frame Interval 3. Use Recommended Codec Settings
4. Consider Using Apple Compatibility cameras:
cam1:
ffmpeg:
apple_compatibility: true5. Check Recording Configuration ffmpeg:
output_args:
record: preset-record-generic-audio-aacThe bandwidth difference between cameras with similar resolutions typically comes down to bitrate settings, frame rates, codec efficiency, and scene complexity(1). Your Dahua camera appears to be configured with settings that generate much more data than necessary for security purposes. 📚 Sources:

Instead of restreaming the The other thing you could try is keeping the restream URL but changing your Often times high bandwidth warnings are because the camera is sending bad data or there are network connectivity issues. |

Is there a way to delete them from frigate or do I need to do it manually? I would like to see a recent event but I can't see any of the history of the camera. I was able to access via scp to get the video files and they are all 1mb file with a duration reported as 12:59:31 while the video in reality is only 1 second long. |

You can change your recording |

Yeah, this is typical of corrupted streams. Frigate just copies the stream data for the Definitely try the two options I suggested above though. |

Network I guess is pretty stable, live feed does not have any dropped packets for this camera. The other camera has a bit of dropped packets but it seems to work fine. |

Great, sounds like it's working better. |

Describe the problem you are having
Log reports: cam1 has a bandwidth of 14909.87 MB/hr which exceeds the expected maximum. This typically indicates an issue with the cameras recordings.
Recordings cannot be view by browser, it keeps loading. Live view works fine. Right now metrics report 9.77GB/hr usage.
I don't know what caused this? I don't remember making any changes to the camera/frigate config.
