Thanks for the article - it's right to the point. Do you know in what products does HikVision use Movidius (Intel) and Nvidia chips? I also have been thinking what would HikVision do if they are banned from US chips? Stop operations like ZTE did?

Which microchips/processors does HikVision use in its cameras? Are they produced by HikVision, by other Chinese producer or imported from abroad? If somebody disassembled a HikVision camera you may have an idea. I searched internet and found nothing.

I plan to buy DS-7616NI-K2 NVR to connect my 10 cameras. I plan to set it up in a basement of the house without connecting a monitor. I will just connect NVR to local network with Ethernet cable. 1) Is it possible to set up and manage this NVR and view recordings completely remotely? What...

I connected two partitions (HDDs in Hikvision terminology) to iVMS 4200 Storage Server (please see the pic). I had 100Gb partition and then added 4Tb one, but the depth of recording didn't increase. I have a suspicion that 4Tb partition is not used. 1) How to see how many minus or MBs are...

Are you saying that Hikvision NVR's designed for 16 cameras will not actually handle 16 cameras well? If yes what's the max number of cameras it could handle?

I plan to have up to 16 Hikvision 4pm cameras in my country house and plan to buy for them Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-E2/8P or DS-7616NI-K2/16P. Which HDDs would you recommend for this?

Thanks, I am testing them but would appreciate particular recommendations - for example, in Intrusion detection what to set for Percentage, Sensitivity, Trigger Time Threshold.

Hi Everybody, I use several Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I with iVMS-4200 Client and Storage Server to monitor area in front of the house. I want the camera to start recording if a person or a car appears (=intrusion). But as the camera sees trees and grass so there are a lot of false alarms...

Thanks for the fast reply! I looked at the forum for several weeks before posting this message. I haven't found clear consensus on the forum that turret design is better. Mentioned advantages are better IR lightning in case turret camera goes with EXIR technology (DS-2CD2342WD-I) and lower...

Hello, My plan is to install ~10 cameras like Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I at a house and record video on motion events to a local HDD/NAS/NVR. No need for continuous recording. The events will be rare (a car drives near the home). I see two options: 1) Use existing Windows computer, create a...
