Slow FPS when using either ngrok or DDNS

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone could advise on the issue I'm seeing, locally on my network MotionEye seems to be working fine, running around 20-25FPS, I have tried to port forward that and access externally using DDNS, ngrok and a VPN to my home network, no matter which option I try, I seem to be stuck with around 3FPS, my dl is around 40MB, my up is around 15MB so I wouldn't have thought they'd have struggled... I'm using a low res (640x480) FPS set at 30 for the cameras themselves, quality is at 50% and I use the RPI solely for motioneye with no motion detection etc, just live preview as I have a NVR that deals with the recording... anyone able to suggest why I get such a low frame rate externally when my upload can more than handle it? Viewing the cameras directly streaming them in HD (1080) its's smooth, just through motion eye I get poor fps externally.

cheers,

@ash32152 Can you give a tutorial on how to set up ngrok in motioneyeos? Thanks in advance

Hi mate,

Yes sure, I will get one wrote up and post it over the weekend! 😊

Cheers,

have you tried it without ngrok or ddns, i.e. a regular port forward, just for a short while to test it?

oh and be sure you don't have framerate dimming set to low

Viewing the cameras directly streaming them in HD (1080) its's smooth

Is that streaming them from outside your home network, if so, how?
