Hikvision Maximum Number Of Channels Under Playback Reached =link= -
If you continue to see the error even when playing back fewer channels than the limit, perform a full factory reset (after backing up settings) or contact Hikvision Tier 2 support – a firmware corruption may be falsely reserving decoder resources.
The error "Number of streaming channels exceeded limit" generally means the device (NVR/DVR) cannot handle additional simultaneous video streams due to hardware, software, or network bandwidth constraints. This often happens when multiple users are viewing footage at once or when one user tries to play back too many high-resolution channels simultaneously. hikvision maximum number of channels under playback reached
