Extra Quality Inurl Multicameraframe Mode Motion

In a multi-camera frame, motion events create latency. Navigate to Setup > Multicamera > Frame Sync. Enable "PTS (Presentation Time Stamp) Lock" so all cameras timestamp their motion frames identically.

Most cameras have three motion modes. For "extra quality," you must select the correct one:

| Mode | Description | Quality Impact | Use Case | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Standard | Records at baseline resolution (1080p) when motion is idle. | Low | Home security. | | Smart Codec (H.265+) | Uses ROI (Region of Interest) – keeps the moving object sharp, blurs the background. | Medium (subject sharp) | Retail tracking. | | Motion Turbo | When motion is detected, the camera overclocks its sensor: jumps from 15fps to 60fps and increases bitrate to "Extra Quality." | Extra High | Forensic & LPR setups. | extra quality inurl multicameraframe mode motion

To enable Motion Turbo mode, access your camera via its inurl:web page, navigate to Conditions > Motion Detection > Advanced, and set "Post-record quality" to Maximum. This ensures that the 5 seconds after the motion event are captured in uncompressed glory.

Use ffmpeg or curl to capture only high-quality motion events: In a multi-camera frame, motion events create latency

  curl -o motion_frame_$(date +%s).jpg \

  sleep 0.5
done

Pair with diff or scene change detection on the saved file to avoid duplicates. You’ll end up with a forensic timeline of crystal-clear multi-camera grids, not a noisy video file.

Standard motion mode gives you a grainy, pixelated grid to save bandwidth. Extra quality flips the script: Pair with diff or scene change detection on

| Feature | Default Motion Mode | Extra Quality Mode | |--------|---------------------|--------------------| | JPEG compression | 70-80% (blocky) | 95-100% (near-lossless) | | Resolution per sub-frame | 320x240 | 1280x720 or higher | | Timestamp visibility | Often smeared | Sharp, frame-accurate | | Artifact reduction | None | Anti-aliasing enabled |

Use case: Identifying a person’s face across four cameras at once during a triggered event. Normal mode gives you a blurry suggestion. Extra quality gives you evidence.
