NVR freezing (sometimes) Question?
if this is in live view over monitor connected to HDMI (that information should be in first post) and live view (not playback of old recordings!) freeze every now and then, then most probably cause of the problem is not NVR but bad network cables to cameras (especially badly made CAT5 plugs...- steve1225

5442-S3 is almost 3 years old camera... You should try TIOC-PRO 3449, which use totally new AI-ISP video processing technology.. with this lighting it should give you bright colorful image... there is risk that darker parts will be noisy, but when city will fix that lamp it should be good...- steve1225
