"Camera 3 read data error 26 time(s) in the last day"?

I get a NAS-error email quite a few times a day on one (sometimes all) the cameras. It doesnt seem like they skip more than a few seconds or a minute or so of recording on my QNAP a day (I assume from the error) but I assume this is a normal problem that may have a fix. I think I can turn the error ...

Stream/video settings question (basic settings)

I have my 3mp Amcrest camera set at the following settings.. Is there anything I should change to ensure the smoothest recording with the least errors or are these good to go? Code-Stream Type -- General Encode Mode -- H.264 Resolution -- 2304x1296 Frame Rate (FPS) -- 20 Bit Rate Type -- CBR Bit Rat...

5 snapshots not working even when selected... Whats the fix?

At a time I got 5 snapshots, then at some point it went back to 1, now I went back the other day and changed it to 5 under event > motion detection in camera setup and it still sends 1. How do I fix this?

Any way to have the preview for multiple cameras for free?

I dont need recorded storage other than the free one, but I would like to have the playback for 4 hours for my other cameras since the snapshot doesn't always capture it. Shouldn't every camera have a free 4 hours?

What am I supposed to set my bitrate at?

I have a ProHD IP3M-943W that I will be upgrading to 4 cameras assume this runs smooth the next week or so. So for my 1 camera should I just set it to 1080 Resolution, 30 Frame Rate and 2048 Bit Rate for the best picture?

Getting "push notifications" where it pops up on my phone, but no video to my email

How can I turn the app notification off but turn the email notification on? And isnt the email notification supposed to have a video clip or picture?

Camera up and running.. When I get QNAP / surveillance station will I use different apps?

I am going to set up my QNAP sometime this week, right now I have the camera set up in Amcrest View with email notifications on the Amcrest Cloud app...

Everything seems to be fine, but when I set up surveillance station on my QNAP will I use a completely different app and web interface?
