Adjusting ROI(Region of Interest) to Increase FPS not working

null@example.com (philtrick123) — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 18:22:00 +0000

I've managed to get a Huateng Vision camera working ok in Kinovea using the GenICam
One thing I can't get to work is adjust the ROI (Region of Interest) to increase the frame rate.
Normally if I half the V access it doubles the frame rate. In the Huateng Vision app I can set the ROI, but when I open Kinovea the camera doesn't work with the adjusted ROI. If I default the camera back to normal full resolution it works again.
The Camera Config screen for the camera in Kinovea has nothing under the drop downs for Stream Format, Image Size or Framerate- only Gain has a slider. You have to click on the Device property pages.
When you go into that screen there is no option for ROI.

The camera is a HT-SUA33GM-T1V it only 640*480 at 790fps. Yuo can go over 1000fps if you adjust the ROI.

A camera or a smart phone

null@example.com (Nightmare) — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 02:39:38 +0000

I am a graduate student specializing in biomechanics. I want to process a video of a rowing motion performed on a dynamometer. I recorded it using a 4k 60fps mobile camera. However, when performing joint angle tracking in Kinovea 25.1 version, the tracking points would move erratically. I have tried using fluorescent markers and large-diameter reflective balls, but still encountered incorrect tracking paths. Is there any expert who can help me solve this? I now suspect it might be due to the shooting method. Do I necessarily need to use a camera?

Emergent Vision (EVT) cameras troubleshooting

null@example.com (nicu2001) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:49:32 +0000

Hi,

I am trying to get my EVT cameras to work in Kinovea and have hit a snag.

Kinovea successfully loads the Emergent CTI, the Emergent system is enumerated, Both EVT NIC interfaces appear, and Both EVT cameras appear in the list.

As soon as I double-click one of the EVT cameras to open the stream, Kinovea immediately crashes and exits before any subsequent log entries are written.

Understanding EVT is not a supported camera, would love any ideas to possibly get them working. Thank you!!

Slow speed camera software settings

Thanks in advance

How to find/enable/debug installed plugins

null@example.com (gospot88) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 08:33:25 +0000

I was trying to develop a plugin for a new model of camera, and I wanted to modify and test on top of the original plugin, so I did the following:
1. Download the latest plugin, from here: https://www.kinovea.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2005.
2. Follow the readme.txt and put the plugin under the AppDataRoamingKinoveaPluginsCamera folder
3. Restarted Kinovea (from github version 25.1)
Encountered a problem:
After the plugin is installed, it seems that it is not enabled, and the configuration entry of this plugin cannot be found anywhere

Please help me , thank you!

Using Kinovea for golf swing cameras [Help Needed]

null@example.com (simsm) — Tue, 27 May 2025 14:22:15 +0000

Hi! Followed this link for setting up two swing cameras for my garage golf simulator.
https://www.golfsimbuilder.com/kinovea- … nt-replay/
Cannot get past the step to "Set the folder where the recorded videos were saved to".
I created folders to 'save' the videos - yet when I get the 'open replay folder observer', I do not get the video playing in the loop.
So I am stuck.
I am a non tech older guy and could use some assistance.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Flir Blackfly w GenICam Issues

null@example.com (alkaman) — Fri, 16 May 2025 21:28:25 +0000

I'm using a Flir Blackfly S BFS-U3-16S2M-CS with Kinovea 2024.1 and the GenICam plugin 1.1.0. I'm able to get the camera's max 226 fps which is great!

Two issues I noticed:
1) In the camera/GenICam settings within Kinovea, I can lower resolution but I cannot adjust any offset. I am able to adjust resolution with offset with Spinnaker SpinView, however this doesn't then show up in Kinovea. Any advice or path to get this working?
2) When I play back the recordings from Kinovea, they play back in "slow motion" and require specifying the capture frame rate. If I'm playing a replay folder observer, this has to be set with every video played?

Thanks!

IP Camera manual connection fail

null@example.com (Jeff) — Mon, 05 May 2025 15:33:16 +0000

Trying to use a manual connection IP camera but Kinovea constantly fails. The IP address, subnet, and port are all correct and several other monitoring software connect fine. Even the browser connects to the camera. Using Win 11 pro with 2 HikVision cameras connected to a POE switch, connected to the LAN via a router. All cable connections, no wifi. Any ideass?
Thanks

Processing images from generic GigE cam under CODESYS PLC

null@example.com (ErrolParks99) — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 10:02:52 +0000

In the current project, we've used ordinary CCTV IPC cameras and a PLC to provide triggers to start/stop recording. The camera directly writes a video clip to the NAS. But now, the customer wants to replace expensive CCTV cameras with cheaper ones that are used for machine vision. So, I would like to avoid adding some additional computer for video processing and storing images on the NAS. Can images be processed from a generic GigE cam under CODESYS PLC? I saw a lot of different C/C++ SDKs from various vendors, but I'm not sure they can be imported into the CODESYS project. I don't need to do complicated video processing. I just have to save a series of images on some shared network resource. Is it possible in general? I've tried to google it, but I wasted a few days. Geometry Dash Lite

RTSP network camera

null@example.com (mjwall) — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:32:49 +0000

Hi,

I have a view cheap 'GoPro style' camera from ApexCam which I hope to use for some underwater filming - it came with a waterproof case.

I can connect my laptop to the camera through built in WiFi network. I have discovered the URL of the RTSP stream and I can create a network stream in VLC but when I try to create an IP camera directly in Kinovea it does not recognize the stream.

Is there a way to use RTSP URLs in Kinovea?

The stream URL is:

rtsp://192.72.1.1:554/liveRTSP/av4/track0

VLC shows that the codec it is using is H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)

I did a search on the forum but couldn't find the answer, sorry it has been discussed before!

Low cost cameras with GenICam support?

null@example.com (Nizztos) — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 09:38:09 +0000

The interweb is flooded with "low cost" webcameras. There is also the cheap arducams/raspberry pi cams (but not with USB interface).

Are there any similar options that support GenICam or is that exclusive to the "machine vision" cameras that typically cost quite a bit more (and are hardish to get at least in Europe).

If not, are there "low cost" cameras that have their own drivers (as opposed to UVC) that enables control of resolution/exposure etc through for instance Python.

Multiple cameras to create single larger field of view

null@example.com (gavin_t) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 07:48:04 +0000

Dear all,

Complete amateur here.

I am attempting to capture kinematic data during treadmill jogging and running from a single lateral viewpoint. However, I have a very limited distance between the runner and the camera in the workspace available.

Is it possible to stack two cameras vertically and use both streams to create a single 'taller' image so can have a full (or at least bigger) lateral view of a runner?

If so, would this require specific set-up in the software prior to recording, can be done in the post processing, or both?

I have several of the same GigE cameras available.

Thanks for any advice you might have!

Automatic recording on audible trigger

null@example.com (TXMAG) — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 21:25:32 +0000

I am trying to set up my Kinovea to record my golf swing on an audible trigger automatically. I followed these instructions, but it is still not working.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zOI11A … MBacU/view

I have an external microphone (a high-quality Yeti podcast microphone). The software recognizes the microphone. The bar moves, indicating it recognizes sound. But Knovea is not doing the automatic recording. I can manually record, but not the automatic recording on an audible trigger.

Any suggestions?

I need guidance, please

null@example.com (AARONKNOTT1) — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 12:44:20 +0000

Golf Simulator. 2 cameras. When I try to open 2 instances of Kinovea, the 2nd one doesn't even recognize the cameras. I need help, and yes, please step-by-step it as I am a newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff. If there is a guide, please link it here. Once again, thanks
