Frankly, I think I'm going to install some more hardwired cameras to replace the wireless ones. The wired ones always seem to work without difficulty, the wireless ones are just a headache to setup and keep functional.
Good plan. I ditched my wireless IP cameras a couple years ago and went with professional grade wired cams and a dedicated local server. Wired is way better!
The only wireless cams I'm using now are a few Arlos, but these are just for playing around.
Turns out this might be more camera-related than I thought. I noticed that one of the WiFi cameras was behaving perfectly normal - and it probably has the worst geographic / physical location of any of them. So I found a program from Zmodo (called ZBatch if anyone's interested) that lets you factory reset all the cameras. I downloaded that, did a factory reset, (which also reset the NVR, whoops), then unplugged all the Wifi cameras and reconfigured two of them, one at a time (just doing a trial with 2 for now).
Fingers crossed, but they seem to be working a lot better. Much more stable connection, and not choppy, as it was before.
I'm still going to put some more hardwired cameras in where I can, for good measure, but maybe (?) this has solved the problem for now.
Sounds good.
