Hello.
I do hope someone can help me and that my solution is something rather simple - although I have a feeling nothing is going to be that straightforward.
I have recently purchased and successfully set up a watec 902H ultimate camera, housed in a cctv enclosure with a Computar varifocal 1/2” 4.5-12.5mm F1.2 CCTV Lens With DC Auto Iris. I am using EASY CAP dongle for an input device.
I have installed and registered UFO capture and have managed to get the set up running Ok and with preview and detection working well.
However the issue that I am facing is as follows:
Once a detection is triggered - it records as expected but after it has recorded the live feed screen turns black and then flicks back to the live preview which then initiates another trigger event and so it is in a continued cycle then of recording and detection. So far I have tried everything that I can think of including the following:
1) Easy Cap detection straight into the USB port rather than via a powered Hub
2) Use of an external USB 3.0 HDD rather than the internal drive
3) Defragmented the HDDs
4) Turned off the power saving modes for all HDDs
5) Stopped running any other programs at the same time
6) Tried using UFO capture HD version just to rule out the software V2
7) Switched to a much faster Computer with SSD drive
8) Checked that the EasyCAP drivers are correct - it is plug and play and it is detected as a AVI to USB2.0 as a device
I believe that the above has pretty much covered anything to do with data transfer lag to the drives and rules out processing power to cope. The only thing that I have yet to try is a different Capture device.
So my questions:
1) Have I missed something with a simple software setting perhaps?
2) Do others use the EASY Cap dongles with success?
3) Has anyone had a similar issue and how did they resolve it
4) any other troubleshooting ideas that I may have overlooked?
5) could this be power related? I am using a CCTV combo cable that has both the composite and 12v power in one cable (I don't think it is but worth the ask)
Thank you so much in advance and I hope to get this resolved.
