    Can a DS-2CD2032F-I act as an NVR from an external HD? (using PC as a NAS)

    I've been happy with my DS-2CD2032F-I, having it record motion to the onboard microsd card. I'd like to extend its recording capability and I remember reading that these IP cameras can record directly to a NAS. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this method. Can I - - set up a NAS using...

    My first Hikvision (2CD2032F) - is there a sticky for setting it up for best picture?

    I am now the proud owner of a Hikvision camera. Bought a DS-2CD2032F-I from Aliexpress and got it installed today. Should have gotten the 6mm instead of 12mm but the image in the daytime is great, nightime - not so great. Very noisy and sparkly image. I played around with settings a lot and...

    Full recording speed from all cameras at once or throttled? Analog HD system

    It would defeat the purpose of having a security camera setup if this were not true but I have to ask. In an analog HD system, is there full frame rate recording from all the channels at once? Or will the recording reduce frame rate based on the number of active channels being recorded...

    HD analog vs ip camera (looking at this Qsee system)

    HD analog vs ip camera (Was Qsee, now Lorex) Thought I had this stuff figured out. Thought it was: Analog - old stuff (NTSC) HD over BNC - Like IP but works over coax. IP - IP/packet/ethernet stuff But now I'm thinking that HD over BNC is still just analog. So I'm confused. Is HD over BNC...
