Get more frame?

[NaxGH]

This the most simple project i've seen for record a video
Cool project btw

And i have question
For some reason i couln't get video beyon 10fps
I try change some of this value

FRAME_INTERVAL = 40
MAX_FRAME = 30
FRAMESIZE_SVGA // 800 x 600

it is need something to do with the AVI Header?

Hi @Tri44

Have you read through this thread?... it mentions a number of ways to improve performance. The easiest is to use a faster SD card... there is a big difference between cards.

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/video-recording-with-an-esp32-pir-sensor/938687/37

... and yes, if you change the FPS you also need to change the matching variables in the AVI header. Search for "[based on FRAME_INTERVAL] " in the code.

Ahh... thanks for the replay i do read through that thread and have class10 sd card
And yes i able to record max frame(10fps) at 1280 x 1024 with no problem and no frame skip.

Also i move sensor reading to loop() because i often use wifi connection for uploading and move this code to sepreate header file.

I will look more into AVI header.

Sometimes the SD cards are not as good as they say they are...

What speed are you seeing when the code runs?

18:52:47.655 -> Average frame size (bytes): 38580
18:52:47.655 -> Average frame write time (ms): 275
18:52:47.655 -> Average write speed (bytes/s): 140177

"Average write speed" - what value do you see?

Sorry i will back to you in couple hour i'm not on my workstation rn

ha... weird i only see this

Ah ok... there are 2 versions of the code... one is a power saving version that sleeps between movies... it has more debugging statements. Try using that one, or copy the debug code to the version you are using.

This is what i got
Using this code default setting and i need to change some of the code to make it work on PlatformIO
especially the sd card and run on 1 bit also if i take a look again its a class6 sd card

First run:
File closed, size: 11778890
Average frame size (bytes): 24463
Average frame write time (ms): 139
Average write speed (bytes/s): 47324

Second run:
File closed, size: 6375028
Average frame size (bytes): 26648
Average frame write time (ms): 142
Average write speed (bytes/s): 61016

And when i am being idiot implement this code to my code, i didn't notice if the config.fb is connected to MAX_FRAME🤦 and my config.fb = 2,
that why there no Frame buffer full, frame skipped. this message when use higher resolution.

Sorry for the confusion

Maybe i am accidentally sort of make it work to capture 1280x1024(or it being render back to 800x600 because of AVI Header?) at 10fps with DIV set to 5 <- (i need this to get more light at night)
