Channel Zero Showing Blank/Black Screen on Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 NVR

[BilalBhatti]

Hello, I have Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 NVR and 8 DS-2CD2043G0-I (4 MP) IP cameras. Everything is being working fine so far regarding recording and showing individual cams feed etc. Yesterday, I decided to enable channel-zero on NVR but after enabling, its showing black screen instead of showing single view of all channels. Can someone guess what could be the possible issue?



Below are my camera settings for reference:



Could it be due to H.265 video encoding? As i tried H.264 but still it was blank screen on channel zero.

I wonder if this could be relevant, depending on how you are trying to view the video?
It's not something I have tried.

Channel Zero RTSP live feed

Experimenting around with RTSP to get live feed to 4 different end users. I have a few Hikvision DS-96128NI-I24 / H that I want to use rasp pi's and VLC with. My question is, do I have to have a monitor connected to the HDMI port in order for Channel Zero to work? So far that's the only way...

I think that pretty much answers which Channel zero was not working. One must have monitor hooked up on HDMI to get it working. What a lame engineering by HikVision here.
