    get a better wifi card, and possibly a better access point.  You should get an AC spec card, and router or access point

    Depends on your buget, throw me out a max you are looking to spend, you want 5 or 6 cameras  are they all exterior cameras?  I will tell you in video surveillance you get what you pay for.  What are they exterior conditions, what level of detail you want?  are there any lighting conditions to overcome?  What kind of distance are you looking at for recognition and at what detail.  a 720p camera might not give you facial features from 50ft away, but if its someone known it gives enough detail.    volume of hard drives depends how long you need to store it, We typically say per 25GB you get 7-8 days at 720P 3-4 at 1080p  2-3 at 3MP 1-2 at 5MP now this is an average based on around 10 fps
     
    Software can be all kinds of stuff, some cameras come with software to store to a pc, they sell software you can purchase per camera and run on a pc, they sell units that record.  I tried the Synology and did not like it, however that was just me.
     
    Personally I love Axis Cameras however they are more expensive but in my opinion are the best, and this will not affect you as much being an end user, they really stand behind there products.
     
    Some people like Hikvision I personally am not a fan, don't get me wrong they are not horrible, just not up there with axis.
     
    As far as recording platforms there are way to many out there to narrow down, do you have a pc that you want to dedicate?  do you want to use a nas? do you want to purchase a preconfigured system?
     
    Personally I used both a software that has ran on cameras, a custom pc for it, and a dedicated nvr and all work great, depending on your needs,
     
    Cat 5 is plenty, typically for display most machines will be fine, I seen customers use an old laptop that was 5-6 years old and pull up 32 cameras (not going to say it didn't strugle)
     
    I have installed 100's of systems so i have been around the block a few times when it comes to video.  
     
    Hope some of this helps

    Sorry to say but most of them won't do much with range 14 apartments is a lot to cover, might need extenders or something like a wireless mesh network where all the access point's talk to each other

    I had a 128gb flash drive die after a few weeks.  Couldn't get them to respond for replacement until i found some executive email and tech support called got another sent and it died a couple weeks later.  Shortly after i ordered the original New egg reviews tanked in it as lots of people had same issue.
     
    I have a ssd in my daughters computer that doesn't get used that much.  I can't say that it was the ssd fault.  But it kind of wouldn't boot put the mechanical i had in before and booted up

    I would go for the U2414H if you're willing to pay a little extra; you don't really need 144hz. I have a u2414h and it's REALLY nice. The colors are great, the bezels are tiny, and the stand is pretty high quality too.

    Definitely go for a IPS monitor. Better color reproduction and viewing angles. Not sure how much you're getting the Dell for, but this new Acer monitor is only $135 (if in the US).

    1st as a business owner if his speed is good for his business, then its really not needing an upgrade.  would it be worth it maybee
     
    What is the speed coming out of the router?
     
    is there a network jack anywhere else in the house closer to the middle?
     
    likely a wifi signal problem,  maybee get a better adapter (may not work)
    add an access point?
    get an extender but keep in mind you cut your signal in half
