NV4108E-HS display only substream?

Is there a way to set the 4108e-hs NVR to only display the substreams on the HDMI output?
I added another camera to my system and the lag is getting pretty severe. I understand the 4108 has an underpowered processor so Im trying to make due until I can find a better NVR.

Re: 3 out 4 Cameras Not Working

It sounds like the Daylight Saving Time bug that occurs when DST ends. The software cant cope with two 2AM times so it becomes neurotic and either randomly goes offline or stops recording.
I have had good luck with reformating the SD cards and rebooting.

Re: Multiple Amcrest cams went offline with same error at same time today?!?

FWIW there seems to be some issue with Daylight Saving Time that the firmware doesnt play well with.

Re: IP8M-T2599E goes offline

I have the same problem on same model , i have 11 of them. i updated the firmware to V2.800.00AC001.0.R.201230 , it made it worse. I didnt think about it at the time, but you might see if you can identify the batch they came from in case there was a run of duds they need to recall. After extensive ...

Re: NV5232e-16p unusable with IP4M-1051w

Amcrests NVRs are notoriously underpowered. I cant imagine trying to operate a 32 channel unit on a platform that struggles with only four (at 4K resolutions). It doesnt sound like WiFi is the primary culprit but for reliability you should use Ethernet instead of WiFi whenever possible.

Re: SD Recording Fragmented

UPDATE: After a couple of SD card formats and several camera soft re-boots, the problem vanished as quickly as it came, on all my cameras in all locations. Web browsers didnt seem to make any difference, nor any association to a NVR or switch. Resolution or framerate also didnt seem to matter. The o...

Re: splitting camera signal

Maybe you could try splitting the HDMI output of your NVR.

Re: SD Recording Fragmented

Do you enable ANR in NVR Storage section?  When NVR HD has missing recordings, it will copy/move SD card continuously recoded files to fill in missing NVR files. Maybe that could cause a problem. Those 8MP cameras recording sd card continuously may stress the camera and cause problems at times, esp...
