His Lordship

Hello I have a Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-E1 DVR which works perfectly. For live view in my office (which is 30 to 40 meters away) I watch on a PC using a web browser. All cameras stream fine using sub-stream resolution. But I like the functionality of the iVMS software and being able to have one camera larger in the middle with smaller panes around it. The problem I have then is that (using the same computer) the software is terribly sluggish with lots of jittery video, like a bad 90s stop motion music video! All cameras set to the same sub-stream resolution. I can watch cameras fine on iVMS4500 on phone or iPad and the cameras run smoothly (using Fluent resolution, which is the same as sub-stream). Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

I would suggest checking your power side connections too. I had one camera break a negative wire, and it still worked but caused an interference on its channel and the matching one (Hikvision DVR). As soon as I reconnected the wire both cameras were fine.
