you're facing some challenges because there aren't many resources about hikvision ivms 4200 compatibility. it appears the software doesn't support third-party cameras, which isn't a major issue but could be limiting. regarding the nvr problem, hikvision 32 channel NVRs are quite costly, and you were wondering if combining two 16-channel NVRs could work as an alternative. others have tried this setup, using two computers to display four 4x4 camera feeds at once. it seems possible with different NVRs or DVRs, though it's unclear if hikvision's own devices are compatible. the video you saw suggests it's feasible with other systems, but details about compatibility aren't clear.
