Interesting, because I have the exact opposite results. 4 Firefox tabs with streams open on i7-4790 is 25% CPU, Same 4 streams ported into SPSS on i7-6700 is 34% CPU. and no, not a thread, overall CPU utilization.

Ok, I'll bite.
My oldest environment using FTP vs NAS/NVR has had 2x 4300 series running FTP recording for just about 3 years now. It's never skipped a beat and the drive it gets recorded to gets swapped out easily for historical archives sans management headaches/concerns/care. (meaning zero IT cost to client with little technical skill) I've also never seen a single technical failure of this setup once. Not even once. 3 year uptime then IMHO is good for a legacy computer that I'm amazed still runs and zero license cost.
I don't care about "timeline" as the files are date labelled, and easy enough to figure out, and it's a system that rarely gets used, except when police get involved, so again it's insurance and lost cost solution.
Any of your favorite phone apps connect to the cameras themselves, so don't need anything there.
But, 2 highly knowledgeable people here are calling FTP shit, so please enlighten as to your strong stance on this?
I mean sure if all you want is store the video and only ever look at it when something happened, it might work just fine as you described.
Point is that FTP is ancient and was never a good protocol to begin with (and don't get me started with all the implementation differencs/incompatibilities).
I didn't even know you could stream files over it until I've seen these chinese IP cams do it.
With NFS you will have the same or better reliability than FTP and get access to the Playback feature in SmartPSS.
NFS mounts a native file system on your camera, just like when you insert an SD card into it. NFS mounts storage over the network (Network File System).
This way the software can treat it just like any other file system and not bother about transport/errors as that is handled by the filesystem.
NFS is used everywhere where you want to make storage available over the network (in big setups Ceph or GlusterFS)
But you won't see FTP being used in any professional environment.
I get that setting up NFS can be harder than FTP, but drilling holes & laying cables for cameras isn't the easiest job either, so why stop there?
But if it works for you (apparently it doesn't work that good due to this thread hue) then use it, why not. If you don't need instant playback with timeline/calendar..
