Just wanted to wake this thread up again.

Alex at Snap reached out to me today to let me know they are working hard on some of these issues with the DVR's and NVR's.  He also is putting in software requests for their next firmware update to make some of the things him and I talked about run even smoother in the future.

The product wasn't perfect out of the box, but I feel reassured that they are doing everything they can do to get the bugs worked out.

Thanks Snap!
