BI4 Pre-Trigger causing lag in recording

[jlx]

I setup BI4 so that the pre-trigger (in recording tab) is set to 10 because my fps is 10 (Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I). Glad it helps record things before they happen (at least that's what I think its doing), but issue is I see major lag. The playback is not smooth and stutters. Is this my network issue or is this issue with pre-trigger. Anyway pre-trigger is awesome since I don't miss anything, like last second recording (hate it when door closes and your like what happened?). Any help with lag would be helpful. Thanks.

- CPU is at around 60-70% so I don't' think cpu issue.

What is the cameras iframe set at?

pretrigger should not affect the smoothness or lag..particularly when its set to only 10 frames..

My iframe is 10 to match the 10 fps. Bitrate max 4096 / buffer 10 / 1080p. I tried the pre-trigger yesterday morning and checked recordings in the afternoon, and playback is laggy. If its not pc I'm guessing its the network. Can it be? I have 23 cams, 13 are hikvision and 10 are trendnet.

what do you mean by laggy? a video sample would help.
