Hikvision Surveillance Sub-Window Not Displaying183

Hikvision surveillance systems are widely used for home and business security applications. These systems typically include a main surveillance window that displays the live video feed from all the connected cameras. In some cases, users may also want to view a smaller sub-window that displays the video feed from a specific camera. However, there may be times when the sub-window does not display properly or is not visible at all.

There are several reasons why the Hikvision surveillance sub-window may not be displaying. One reason could be that the sub-window has been disabled in the system settings. To enable the sub-window, open the Hikvision Surveillance Client software and go to the "View" menu. Select "Sub-Window" and then check the box next to "Enable Sub-Window".

Another reason why the sub-window may not be displaying is that the camera that is assigned to the sub-window is not connected or is not configured properly. To check the camera connection, open the Hikvision Surveillance Client software and go to the "Device Management" tab. Select the camera that is assigned to the sub-window and make sure that it is listed as "Online". If the camera is not listed as "Online", check the camera's power supply and network connection.

If the camera is connected but the sub-window still does not display, the camera may not be configured properly. To configure the camera, open the Hikvision Surveillance Client software and go to the "Device Management" tab. Select the camera that is assigned to the sub-window and click on the "Configuration" button. In the "Configuration" window, make sure that the camera's video settings are correct. The video settings should match the settings of the main surveillance window.

If the sub-window still does not display after checking the camera connection and configuration, there may be a problem with the Hikvision Surveillance Client software. To resolve this issue, try restarting the software. If the software does not restart properly, you may need to reinstall the software.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting the Hikvision surveillance sub-window:
Make sure that the Hikvision Surveillance Client software is up to date.
Check the firewall settings to make sure that the software is allowed to access the network.
If you are using a wireless network, make sure that the signal strength is strong.
If you are using a VPN, make sure that the VPN is configured properly.

If you have tried all of the troubleshooting tips and the sub-window still does not display, you may need to contact Hikvision technical support for assistance.
