Per you question, "Also does the live feed lose video at all?" I am not sure, could be, but have not seen it when monitoring the monitor during normal run/record. But when I go to the DVR menu and run the search feature, and when I end my search feature, quite often the camera is not giving live feed for a short period of time, less than a minute usually. When I looked at the recording green time bars, I saw the camera was dropping recording a lot during the same time frame I was working with the search feature. Often while running the search feature the DVR would lock up and I can only get it back by powering it off then on again using the power switch on the back of the DVR .
The last 3 times I ran search I stopped this cameras recording while I ran the search feature, and no DVR freeze so far. When I end the search work and go back to the live screen, the camera is off line for a short time before live view shows again. I then turn the 24/7 recording back on for this camera, and then it is back to it's typical running with typical recording skipping.
Recording skips on search menu screen green time bar when the DVR is running with no one accessing the DVR, seem to be short gaps of less than a minute every 15 minutes or so during standard running/recording time, with sometimes several hours with no problem. I think record skips get worse if some one accesses the DVR to operate the PTZ, or digital zoom on any camera, analog or IP, during the standard operating/recording operation.
I set the camera to FPS to 15, change to VBR Bit Rate 1500 as per your instruction using the WEB service. I made no changes at the DVR,s "System> Camera> Encode" menu, is that the correct procedure?
Photo below "Stream Config as set.jpg", shows as and where I made the Web menu settings, I then clicked OK. Is the Audio Encode Type set correctly for SCK's Powered Microphone, Product# MIC?

I took the photo at bottom of this page "Encode now.jpg" showing what is has after making you settings to Web menu and putting the camera back on the DVR and bringing up the menu. Does it look right?
