I have a Swann DVR (DVR-8CIF) and it works fine. When I view the cameras on a monitor which is connected to the DVR itself, the quality is fantastic. However, if I view the cameras over my local internet (on the same wired network), the quality isn't that great. The same goes for if I view the cameras from an office location.
I'm a computer expert, and all of my cabling within my house is rated for 1gb, all my terminations were tested by me and are all correct. All of my computers are wired (no wi-fi).
Why would the quality be so poor when viewing over the local network?
Any help would be appreciated.
