If it is working intermittent, makes me think either:

1) your camera settings are off. press the "camera" button on the "camera" tab to change those, or
2) the "stream" settings are off. press the "stream" button on the "camera" tab to change those, or
3) the threshold setting is off on the "cam" tab (btw, adjust this last), or
4) maybe also you have too much light in the room your playing in and it is affected by sunlight from windows, time of day?

tips
-I would use rgb24 in the stream settings.

-I have success setting all the camera settings to zero except for brightness I set that to maximum value 10000 and gain is set to 10000 too.

-make sure auto gain is unchecked/off

-exposure rate no less than 30s. mine right at 30s.

-image mirrors, unchecked/disabled

-anti flicker unchecked/disabled

-image enhancers like rightlight, unchecked/disabled.

-the last thing to adust is the threshold bar. if you set it up "good to go", then you will notice there is just one spot on that threshold bar where the red dot will show up. if you are off that mark, then everything is either all red or all black in the test window. When you find that mark, you won't have to change it again as long as your room lighting conditions are consistent and your freetrack headset is working correctly.

The "profile" tab is for setting up the input/output axis and the "curves" tab is for for shaping the axis to your head movement. I don't think these would not make it freetrack act intermittent. But you do need to configure them.

There's some other settings you also need to consider, fps, pixel size min/max...etc.
