Using a rebranded Hikvision NVR Hunt HNR-P51P6-32 (V3.4.96 171128) 16 on board poe up to 32 ip cams, with Hunt 6mp turrets and they work fine. Had to get Hikvision branded 2cd2163G0-IS-2.8 from another supplier due to inventory issue assuming there would be no problems.

Using the plug and play enrollment method either using IPCAM or Hikvision as MFG, the main stream and event stream work fine but the sub-stream will not set in these Hik cameras and I get "camera does not support function" using either GUI or web interface. One of them does work but you cannot copy that configuration to the other ones. Tried to log into cameras directly and changing the Sub stream to all sorts of resolutions and fps to no avail.

Using the guarding vision app, the initial load shows all cams with error indicators for the Hik cameras, but once you start swiping through cameras they all work with main stream for affected cameras. Not really a long term solution since apartment manager can't use Web browser monitoring since they all default to stream 2 with the affected cameras missing.

Probably will have to pull the Hiks and install them with a Hik Nvr on a future job unless there is a solution. Sounds like Hunt has custom firmware. Any ideas?
