Am I making it hard for my NVR?

All,

The NVR has a lot to do. ie: receive multiple streams, create files, write to disc, etc. I'm not sure how various settings I select affect the workload of the NVR processors. Maybe my settings make it hard on the NVR processors. And an overloaded NVR may mean degraded performance somewhere....

If I don't configure my cameras identically, does it make it harder for the NVR?
Ie: if I use different;
- Bit Rate (some cams set hi, other lower)
- Bit Rate Type
- Compression type (H.264 on some, H.264H on others)
- Substream (which isn't recorded to HD, but used for push notification to cell phone)
- Etc

In a multi-camera system, does variance between camera streams something that increases the workload on the NVR?

its all about the bitrate; nothing else matters.. and most all of it is offloaded to specialized video hardware; so if you keep it within that limits should be fine.
