Installed a DS-7216HGHI 16 position HikVision DVR with 4tb drive. Running iVMS-4300 V2.3.0.5 on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC. Seems to be setup properly and running 9 cameras. When I click REMOTE PLAYBACK I get a list of files recorded. I am running a mix of some 24h record, others motion control only. When I click one of the entries for either 24h recorded device or motion recorded cameras I get xxx playback failed, error code, iVMS-4200[0]. If I format the hard drive and record for a while I get very few records. Any ideas?

Yes, and Yes This is a very unfriendly forum for a NOOB I am out of here too

When i9 go to the area you mentioned I come to the picture I posted on Mar 9 @ 8:54. Which is the third picture I posted. Does that look OK?

I seem to have the most basic misunderstanding!! I thought the iVMS-4200 program controlled the settings on the DS-7216HGHI. You seem to be saying they are entirely separate if I understand you properly. Jerry

Here is event management and schedule management. I schedule cam 2, and motion cam 3. Am running 3.0.2 firmware, they say that is latest for USA. They do not recommend I use the European firmware. Thanks Jerry

Do you see something wrong with the configuration? I cannot find firmware 3.1.3 anywhere, where is it located? Thanks Jerry

Here are some print screens, what more do you need?

Seems that none of the cameras that were set for motion detect recorded. The scheduled record cameras did record ok (but poorly) When I tried to playback a recorded camera it would get playback failed for several clicks then it would display. When I clicked playback again it would take several more clicks to show the file again. When it displayed it was correct. Can't seem to get event record to work at all. Anyone have any ideas?
