I'm stuck in this exact same situation. Did you ever find a solution?
I wonder if there are Hikvision NVR's that work better with PTZ's, as this Hikvision tech said he could get it to work just fine:

Very...
Yeah. I find manufactures a bit misleading in this area. You can buy a 16 channel NVR that can record all those channels at 8MP just find. But the NVR doesn't even come close to being able to DISPLAY that out. (You can download files and view, but not live view).
Sorry, DECODING capabilities. Trying to understand the relation (if there is one) between the decoding capability of an NVR, and the outgoing bandwidth.
Thanks.
