Lag using network camera as baby monitor

[Mikroman]

Hi I'm using a DS-2CD2542FWD-IS as a baby monitor and finding that while constantly streaming to an iPad overnight the camera becomes around 10minutes behind by the morning. Stop/start fixes it but is there anything I can do to keep the stream accurate.
I have turned off recording, set the video to medium 15fps and h264+ is off to try and keep network traffic low.

In Live view?
Using an App?
Which App? (4500/Hik-Connect?)

I don't have a ready answer I'm afraid.
I've not seen this before.

Lags are often caused by network issues.
Presumably your iPad is using Wi-Fi, is the signal good?

Trial & error to try to find optimal settings I'm afraid.

Ok thanks for the reply

Ok thanks for the reply

I connected the tablet directly to the ip cam rather than through the dvr and it seems to have fixed it.
