HikCentral Lite question

[michaelc]

Hi Everybody,

After running iVMS-4200 for what seems like an eternity, I was keen to finally sit down and try HikCentral Lite (V1.2.0.202510101959). The free version seemed more than capable to cover my needs.

The migration process was a little painful. My legacy Hikvision Storage Server software is no longer supported so I could not access any of my previously saved video. I run the Storage Server as a system service so it will always be running after a reboot after an update or system crash. It sits in the background recording video/events even when iVMS-4200 is not running. The migration process changed ALL of my cameras OSD names to IP addresses/ports which was most annoying.

However my main issue is that the free version of HikCentral Lite seems to support only four channel of video recording!?

I can display all of my cameras but in trying to set up my recording schedules (after the failed data migration), as soon as I setup four cameras I could no longer add any more. Has anyone else found this?

Michael.

Same experience here, although the commercial was saying that it can record from 16 cameras tops, but maybe not all connected on the same physical NVR. Looking fwd for other thoughts in this regard.
