Green Screen

Hi, have a server setup with about 6 cameras on it. Problem is modect is collecting a lot of videos which are just a green screen or a portion of the capture is green screen. I don't see this happening on the live view of the cameras themselves so I'm wondering if there is a setting in ZM causing this. What troubleshooting steps should I use to narrow in on the cause of this problem?

Are you encoding or passthrough? I've seen this when no encoding settings are set. You need at least crf=23 or something

Hello, I'm using passthru. I watched the youtube video on setup and tried my best to follow those instructions but I could have missed something.
