Fix: Notification ‘Not enough system resources’ on Foscam NVR
If you try to playback recorded video via a Foscam NVR, you may get the message ‘Not enough system resources’ on screen.
Foscam suggests that this occurs on 4-screen configurations and that you have to double-click one of them to see the respective channel’s recorded video.

However, it didn’t work when I tried it (that Foscam NVR hadn’t been recently firmware updated though, so that might have been the cause.
An alternative that did work was to download and use the free Foscam VMS software to do playback. Seems access via web browser can also be enabled on the NVR so that might also be an alternative. All methods of playback (including trying to play from the NVR itself if a screen is already attached) are explained at:

One can also opt to download videos from the NVR either via a computer, or to a USB storage device connected to the NVR, as shown at:
