So i dropped the bitrate down from 4095 to 2048. Dropped the 1080p to 720 frame size. Dropped video quality from Medium to Low.
It's still garbage, and now 2 of 6 cameras are not coming online.
Awesome $1,100 costco deal... 5 hours later. Thank goodness for costco's return policy.
I'm better off with the $299 qsee model i have at my other property. Can barely make out images but it works!
