As such, many firmware revisions have been introduced over the years to continually ensure the product is compatible with the newest technology available. The I-series NVR (such as the DS-7716NI-I4) is one of Hikvision's most popular and feature-rich recorders. Unable to use 'Live View' when connected to 'Storage Server' even with 'Streaming Media Server' enabled.View the most updated version of this document here:.Unable to finely scrub through timeline.Unable to synchronise playback between cameras.Does not allow the user to see actual storage space available on whichever storage disks you have configured (Not in Windows nor from iVMS-4200 client remote config).This means you have to check the Hikvision website to see if a new version of the software has been released! No software update feature let alone an Automatic Software Update feature.You would think having a dedicated storage server on the network would keep a log of alarm events that you could review upon opening the client software.
(This kinda applies more to the Storage Server component. If the client is closed, no alarm events are recorded.
Some of these shortcomings are features that were disabled due to incompatible hardware (despite being genuine Hikvision stuff) and other shortcomings were simply features that the software didn't have.
To wrap things up, let me show you a list of other shortcomings I made about iVMS-4200 and the iVMS-4500 (iOS app) that apply to my particular setup. So unless you have a lot of people all trying to access the same camera on your LOCAL network, the Streaming Media Server is pretty much useless. I though it may also re-compress video to facilitate a better mobile viewing experience, but nope. However, it does not do this for recorded video. It simply allows more users to view live footage from a particular camera without exhausting all available bandwidth to/from that camera. The Streaming Media Server was another big let down for me.
