Known Issues for MAXPRO® VMS
The following sections explains the known issues/limitations/recommendation to use MAXPRO® VMS. Occur-
rence of the issue and Workarounds are provided wherever possible.
General Issues
1. Time line colors are not reflecting the actual state of Failover recording. If the recorder is in failover state then
all the recordings are displayed in pink color.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: None
2. H.265 codec camera is not streaming on specific machines with new GPU rendering/Old GPU rendering
modes.
Occurence: Always
3. Following issues are noticed with Fusion and Rapid Eye recorder cameras:
• Sync playback feature with Fusion recorder is not responding in VMS build R560.
• During playback and clip export operations with Rapid Eye camera, TrinityRendering service restarts
• For Rapid Eye camera in live and playback operations, Fail to connect and Refresh Display Service messages are
displayed.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: Fusion and Rapideye users are not recommended to upgrade to R560. It is recommended to
contact Honeywell Tech Support and use the recommended MAXPRO VMS build
4. Equip S Series cameras - Latency up to 1 second without Annotations feature enabled and 3 to 4 seconds
with Annotation feature is noticed.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: Remove the camera model for RTSP XML in NVR to resolve this issue.
It is recommended to use the compatible firmware which is tested and approved. Refer to the MAXPRO VMS
R560 Software Release Notes for compatible Firmware details.
5. Multicast cameras are streaming in new GPU rendering with out setting GPU limit registry. However, all other
cameras are streaming in older GPU mode.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: Need to configure the rendering setting to solve this issue. Refer to the MAXPRO NVR 5.6 Instal-
lation and Configuration guide on how to configure th rendering settings to stream Multicast cameras.
6. If the Recorder is in Failover state, then sync playback feature is not responding for primary recordings. If the
Recorder is in Failback state, then sync playback is not responding for Redundant recording.
Occurence: Rare
Workaround: Go to the switch over time for the camera and then perform sync playback.
www.honeywell.com 5
Occurence: Randomly
Workaround: Close and drag and drop the camera once again.

18. In VMS R560, only video of panel size is rendering for all the MAXPRO NVR recorder cameras.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: None
19. Momentary black video is displayed when user switches a salvo and performs refresh.
Occurence: Frequent
20. Rendering service stops responding in R560 due to regular video operations.

1. Smart Motion search feature takes more time to load images in backward compatibility scenarios.
Scenario: Installing VMS R550 and NVR 5.6 takes more than 15 minutes to search 30 minutes duration clips.
However, installing VMS R550 and NVR 5.5 takes less than 3 seconds to search 30 minutes duration clips.
Occurence: Always
Workaround: For Smart motion to work effectively, VMS and NVR should be upgraded together.
Workaround: To resolve this issue, after uninstalling the R560 build, user need to remove the Settings key 313
value from the Workstation Settings table for all the workstation ids manually.
Workaround: Recommendation is to set the GOP values to 5-10 to experience smoothness in reverse play-
back.

Recommendations
Note:All new features are supported only on MAXPRO VMS client. In MAXPRO NVR client only spot test is per-
formed.
• To configure HVA for ADPRO XO cameras, Analytics service startup type property should be set to Automatic
(Delay).
• To avoid performance limitations in Smooth reverse playback user need to use i7-8700 system with 16GB
RAM System.
• Annotation feature is not supported for MJPEG streams.
Limitations in R560
Note:All new features are supported only on MAXPRO VMS client. In MAXPRO NVR client only spot test is per-
formed.
• 32 bit Operating Systems may have limitations and performance issues on most of the features of R560. Rec-
ommended to use 64 bit OS.
• In Sync Playback mode, it takes more than 10 seconds to sync all the cameras from ADPRO XO recorder
cameras
• Sync playback/ Playback will not work as expected during Failover transition.
