Make sure your NVR/DVR and the iVMS-4200 are updated to the latest firmware. Additionally, it has been reported that sometimes the issue gets fixed if you reboot the software, computer, and recorder itself.

Ultimately the issue on the Hikvision error code list is marked as “No more bandwidth can be used”, meaning your local network may not be designed correctly such as the switches are not able to handle all the traffic coming from the cameras or the router is too overwhelmed to process all the information. Locate the bottleneck on your network and correct the issue.

Make sure each user is using a separate account meaning not two people trying to see the cameras using the same username and password. Create specific accounts for each person who will have access to the security system.
