Recorded videos have time jumps! Why?

[dtcamcrest]

Hey experts!

I have two IP2M-841W. I notice that when it records videos, it loses seconds.

The two cameras are side by side. Just now a car passed by.

Camera A: The time jumps from 12:46:44AM to 12:46:50AM. https://goo.gl/photos/r8RKgb9S57uPyK7M6

Camera B: The time jumps from 12:46:48AM to 12:46:52AM. https://goo.gl/photos/cvTZcEZzik74mALPA

This results in the fact that the car passing by both of them is completely missed.

Can you help me understand what's up with this and what I can do to fix this?

I've found the only way to get reliable constant recordings is to keep my camera connected by ethernet. Wi-Fi works OK but stutters sometimes appearing to hang for anything 15 to 30 seconds. I got my first camera exchanged after spending a long online support session connected to Amcrest support. It's not critical for me as to be honest it's just a toy. If I was serious about havng a security camera I would only consider hard wired of some sort.

But these videos are being recorded to the SD card - so it has nothing to do with the network.

Amcrest Tech support asked me to try hard resetting. I did. The problem was not resolved.
