This is the current set-up:
NVR is in the garage with six cameras connected. There is a monitor connected to the NVR out in the garage that I use to make adjustments and view footage.
The NVR is connected to my access point/wifi inside the house by a CAT5 cable.
I routinely view footage on my laptop through the wifi, and that's where the problem comes in.
PROBLEM: When viewing footage on my laptop there is often a serious lag where the action freezes . Sometimes it recovers and the action moves at high speed, and sometimes it just locks up completely. Then again, sometimes it plays just fine.
NOTE: The same footage that freezes on my laptop plays perfectly out in the garage on the monitor connected directly to the NVR.
QUESTION: Would a HDD with a faster spin or larger cache (or both) help with this?
