I have all the video record quality options maxed out and still get very pixelised recordings. I'm using Vista and Sentinel cameras with all the latest AHP plugins. Any suggestions?

....get very pixelised recordings. I'm using Vista and Sentinel cameras

Wired... wireless?

Dave,
Im using wireless mode for all cameras and the live pictures on AHP are perfect from all cameras. I'm using a macro to start and stop the recording but man the poor quality of the recorded videos are unacceptable.

So you have excellent input and I am guessing.... the VA12A not the older lower video quality VA11A... Video Adapter. So have you allocated enough memory for the higher quality video?

Dave,
Yes excellent input with a VA12A. I have maxed out all of the video quality settings in AHP record settings but still recorded videos are very pixelized. I know I'm doing something wrong but not sure what. III

[HA Dave]

Have you allocated enough memory for the higher quality video? How many gigs of memory have you given to video recording? What percentage of the hard drive?

Not sure what settings you are referring to. See my present settings in AHP.

Dave, And here.

Dave,
Shown is one frame of the poor resolution AHP recorded video I'm referring to. There has got to be something set incorrectly on my AHP otherwise more people would be complaining about this kind of poor recorded AHP video.                
Once again thanks for all your and others input.

Dave, Buy the way Snap Shots are excellent resolution.

Frank3D,

Have you tried changing the "compression" settings to "NONE" or "Full Frames"?  The file sizes will be huge, but that will tell you if it's a compression issue.  If that is the problem, you can keep trying different codecs until you find one that gives you acceptable quality.

I'm with ITguy on this!
The wrong Codec can make a big difference.
 

[HA Dave]

Dave, And here.

See where is says 20MB.... maybe you could allocate a little more memory for video.

[HA Dave]

Not sure what settings you are referring to. See my present settings in AHP.

See where is says "Video file sizing" and NO radio buttons have been filled... Maybe if you put a dot in the CD (560MB) or the DVD (4.7 GB). And like ITguy and Tuicemen say... choose a Codec.

Thanks Dave.
Ill try some of the other codecs. Already tried the file sizing selections but every time I come back to this screen no buttons are selected, even after saving under File.
