Haha! Our 4k, 4mp and 2mp cameras would be so spectacular with those bitrates and framerates. Be like trying to look at cameras through a potato. Might as well downgrade to analog, at least it'd be better quality at that rate :P

Ah you're right. I see that now on Nelly Security's datasheet. In all reality then, your camera number is likely going to be limited to that 512Mbp. I do know enough to know that with 512Mbps, in no way could it support as many cameras as it's claiming going directly into the Unicorn. I'm...

I've come across this Uniview Unicorn that can supposedly handle 1000+ cameras????? Say what? Does anybody know if it's a viable option to use to replace all the NVR's we have and just put all the cameras on the Unicorn? Instead of 15 NVR's spread around for 400-500 cameras, just get rid of them...

No, it was being operated standalone. Not sure what end up being the issue but we reset the camera to default settings and it fixed the issue.

Got a new Axis camera, a P3807-PVE. In trying to get the time set up, I'm running into an issue where the camera is automatically disabling my NTP settings. I've updated the camera today to the latest firmware to see if that would resolve the issue, but it's still almost like clockwork every 5...

Have a curious situation. We've got several Hikvision systems, but this mainly affects our 4k cameras. In Live View, we have all of our cameras when you pull it up on the iVMS-4200 computer software or the phone app to show up in default substream quality. This only affects 4 or 5 cameras out...

Nothing wrong with using Cat5e RJ45's on your Cat6, but only downside is Cat5e connectors are rated a Gigabit speeds and Cat6 is at 10 gbps. So you're in a sense potentially bottle-necking the maximum speeds your cables will handle. But then again, what are the odds you're running a 10gbps...

Is Blue Iris ideal for use in Educational Facilities? At this time, we're currently doing to a retrofit from old analog DVR's/cameras and replacing them with Hikvision (Nelly's) cameras and NVRs. We currently have almost 400 cameras on our campus. Approximately half of those are now 2MP IP...

I'll be the first to admit, I'm not licensed in my state to do CCTV. I mainly do it for my employer where I'm covered, but every once in a blue moon word will get around about me knowing how to do cameras and a small business will ask me to install cameras for them. I'm always hesitant about...

I'm not sure about the ebay seller, but I trust Nelly's Security (who is a featured vendor here on IPCT). Hands down. We've probably bought about $10k worth of a equipment over the last couple of years and always had top notch support -- and it's all English cameras. As far as water spots, I...

Let me know your results please. Our systems are quite old now, at least 7 years old so I'm pretty certain a new unit is out of the question -- not that it really matters as we're slowly converting over to Hikvision IP systems.

Sadly, no. I have not been able to resolve the issue. So basically I'm forced to use my camera tester to turn the camera. Saves me the trouble of having to climb up on the ladder to turn the camera, but still. Kind of ridiculous that this makes three Everfocus systems we have in our system that...

Honestly, I don't believe iVMS has the capabilities of expanding beyond that simply due to the softwares RAM and CPU consumption. With that many monitors, you'll probably need to utilize the Video Wall feature, however that requires a decoder and they can get expensive. And to the best of my...

Hey guys! Sorry for the bump on this and the late reply. I just wanted to update the status on this to save other people some trouble in the future. I might have missed something, but I learned real quick that these T-Bar Clips will not work on the Hikvision Dome cameras by themselves. The nut...

I managed to find some laying around (and a camera) where I worked and thought they'd be perfect. They're Caddy 4G8. Unfortunately, they're too short for a Hikvision dome camera. It's ridiculous how expensive some of these Clips are, especially if they become a paperweight because the studs are...
