I just read on this wiki, that a dedicated video card will not improve anything with a NVR. Currently i'm running 4.0 and find that my camera is laggy when watching the playback OR it misses motion all together.

Are there anytips and tricks out there to remove the missing frames and laggyness ?

Currently running 2 cameras on a xeon 8 core with 32 gigs ram. Windows 2008r2. JUST 2 cameras. One is a PTZ one not.

Update the video driver to the latest version for your system. Problem could be the Server 2008 version, due to support. As it is more aimed at corporate stuff, and not consumer grade.

Review the motion trigger setup, and / or your network settings. Lag does not always mean, that the problem is graphics rated (it's not a game system)

The system is total overkill for a 2 / 3 camera setup.

Over kill yes but it's a VM on hyper-v. and the server i have is way to powerful but hey can't pass-up a good deal :)
Ahh ok. That explains it. And i have to agree on both Hyper- V and not passing a good deal. Also got lots of servers laying around here that were a pretty good deal :D
