    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    that maybe my answer on why it's failing then its a 16ch nvr with only 8 channels used, but I know essentials only allow 8 channels. I wanted to look into getting 16 channels to play around with, but this will be for my personal use and to learn the product a little more. but i have a feeling...

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    from other readings it appears that it should work under the general onvif driver. using xprotect expert do you need 1 device license per channel of the nvr?

    Full color dome and PTZ options?

    I'm fully aware of all these drawbacks on domes, but unfortunately the client wants domes, and for good reason some of these will be going on an outside tunnel between buildings that's only 8.5 feet tall so turrets and bullets could possibly be knocked off axis. And I'm fully aware of the...

    As the title states. I'm curious on how well the 2439 night performance is. I've used a lot of colorvu, but could the 2439 be a cheaper option and close to the same quality?

    haha yeah I know how they work i've installed probably 200 of them so far residentially. there's enough lighting in the courtyard to leave the supplemental light off, I normally don't even have to cut them on. I wanted to go with a dahua N45EM63 dome, but they're already familiar with ivms...
