Setting up my Hikvision NVR 4.0 to use both hdmi outputs?

[hh copper]

Hello--The HK nvr i bought seems to be a fine machine--been trying to configure my second monitor--the manual does not cover it--i have had to stumble along without knowing the correct procedure--hk does not seem to have a specific sheet to cover this--can you point me to getting a manual supplement or other instruction to cover the second hdmi output within the NVR 4.0 interface--DS 7716NI-I4-16P version B [two HDMI outputs-configure separate displays]--perhaps someone has made a youtube video that covers this or some has taken the time to sketch out some instructions--I keep running into menus that i don't understand--Thank You

Hi @hh copper

We don't have any hands-on experience with the dual-HDMI NVR models, but looking at the user manual it states this:

If your device has 2 HDMI interfaces and 2 VGA interfaces. HDMI1 and VGA1 are the main ports, and videos output are provided simultaneously. HDMI2 and VGA2 are auxiliary ports, and videos output are provided simultaneously.​

So this would suggest that if using both HDMI outputs you would need to use the AUX monitor button to switch between main HDMI1 and auxiliary HDMI2, see the I-series NVR part of this forum post that explains how to configure AUX monitor mode.

I have 2 uniview IP cameras and am looking for the least expensive option for an NVR that will have 2 HDMI ports so I can have one camera feed to one TV and another camera feed to another TV. I want to use HDMI and not VGA. Any recommendations?
