Follow-up: to keep the thread alive a little while longer and because I
dislike when I come across a potentially helpful thread for my problem
and it dies without conclusion....
Originally checked if something wrong with the NAS and WiFi signal --
seems to be OK.
New: Did move the Motion storage to a Raspberry Pi 5 with a 1 TB NVMe.?
The Pi NAS is connected to the network via Ethernet but the Pi's
recording are still on WiFi (5G)? The skips/glitches seem to be lessened
-- from? ~10 seconds to 5 seconds on average.
Currently switching the Motion Pi's (source devices with one USB camera
each) to PoE.? With that the network connections will be wired, 1 Gbps.?
Stay tuned!? Barry

Only thing I can say about WIFI is whenever my microwave is used the camera
connection was bad so I switched to shielded cat 7. If there is outside
interference strange things can happen. VHF TV has glitches when LED lights
are turned off and on.

The problem occurring with the microwave potentially makes sense: IIRC a
microwave ovens' magnetron uses a beam to cook (really energize the food
molecules and so cooks) at 2.4 GHz, essentially the same frequency as do
the WiFi 2.4 GHz bands.? (The explanation is a bit sloppy, admittedly!)
IoT (Internet of Things) also can use the same radio band -- I'm pretty
sure the remote-read electric meter wiped out the reception of my
outdoor thermometer up here.? Works fine in other parts of the house,
but up here on the same side as the meter there is no connection.
Here at the house I haven't noticed a correlation with microwave usage.?
Also the RPi camera units are (currently) 5G, though that has a shorted
range than 2G.? Did check signal level and that doesn't seem to be the
problem.? ...The cameras' RF path doesn't cross / isn't near anything
(known!) to cause interference.? Plus this little update is giving me
some education on PoE.
