HikVision DS-7216HUHI-F2/N Multi-Screen Output - Static Cam?

[coolspot 0]

Hi all,

 

I recently purchased a HikVision DS-7216HUHI-F2/N Turbo HD DVR and I find that it is lacking many basic functions:

 

1. I can configure the multi-screen output, but I cannot keep a camera static. i.e. in 7+1 output, I like to keep the "main door" camera static in the top right big box. The DVR seems to only allow the camera to exist on 1 page only?

 

2. When HDMI is enabled, the Main CVBS output layout cannot be configured?

 

3. Web Interface event searching is very limited - this seems to be a known issue and somewhat fixed in the 3.81 firmware... but still lacking in comparison to the cheap OEM DVRs I used to use!

 

Anyone know if there is a workaround for 1 and 2?

 

Thanks!
