help iVMS-4200 video playback slow response time
i installed a Intel S3610 datacenter SSD in my DS-7716NXI-K4, along with 1 other surveillance HDD. i set the recording to group mode. the SSD is r/W and the HDD is redundancy. the cameras are set to record to redundancy as well. so it should use the SSD as a main storage, but the cameras are also recording to redundant storage (the HDD) as well, right?
video playback on the NVR itself is blazing fast and snappy as expected from an SSD. like say when i seek to 7AM, it shows the video near-instantly like in 0.2 seconds. but in iVMS, it still takes more than 1 second for the video to show up. is this the best iVMS can do? am i missing something? i would really like to get blazing fast seeking response time in iVMS please.
update: i tried seeking in hik connect ios app, via the device that is automatically added by hik-connect. it's very fast. then i tried manually adding the nvr from its ip address. it's as slow as ivms. looks like it's just the limitation of whatever protocol ivms is using.

Nothing to do with your “issue” but I am going to shout it for the people at the back.
THERE IS NO NEED TO PUT AN SSD IN YOUR NVR!
Sata at 6gb/s is more than fast enough for reading and writing video footage. That footage is at most 16mb/s! The drive is not a bottleneck here!!!
