There are several ways to deal with numerous distorted frames while using an IP camera's rtsp stream with OpenCV in Python:
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_BUFFERSIZE, 2)
This code increases the buffer size to 2 frames, which can reduce the number of distorted frames.
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640)
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480)
Check the camera settings: Sometimes, the distortion may occur due to incorrect camera settings. You can try adjusting the camera settings such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue.
Use a different codec: The rtsp stream may use a codec that is not supported by OpenCV. You can try changing the codec to a supported codec by using the following code:
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('M', 'J', 'P', 'G'))
