Description

I find myself using motioneye along with CSI cameras such as the Raspberry IMX477 HQ along with Raspberry PI Zero.

However when using other PTZ cameras like Dahua or Hykvision the performance via RTSP is very bad... no motion detection is possible, in addition the image is pixelated.

I have checked with other software that this does not happen (Ispy), working really well.

I don't know why, I would like not to have to migrate to another server because with motioneye I really have everything I need.

Can you tell me why Ispy captures well the rtsp broadcasts unlike motioneye?

Thanks in advance and thank you very much for your work.

Research direction
Start by analyzing the RTSP source code in the motion daemon (likely in rtsp.c or similar). Compare the implementation with iSpy's approach to identify differences in buffering or decoding. Reproduce the issue with a PTZ camera and capture logs. Check motioneye's configuration for resolution and frame rate settings that may affect performance.
