    HikVision iVMS-4200 Server and Client Recording

    Just installed my first HikVision yesterday and have been playing with iVMS-4200. Just when I think I understand all the settings it seems to fail me. I have the client and server installed on PC. The server is formatted to a dedicated hard drive. It appeared to be recording fine without the...
