Wanted to ask if anyone had noticed if after updating an oem hik camera to a full hik firmware if the hik-connect option is available vs the guardian oem service. Picked up a 2CD2463G0 oem unit last week. Seems to match everything from the matching non oem except for a few things including the...

What issues did you notice with 2019 R1 and HK cameras? I have 16 cameras running on two different R1 servers and haven't noticed anything odd. I do have some chinese cameras that are back at 5.2 that I want to upgrade via this thread's instructions. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I had set a schedule in the camera but it doesn't seem to stick. Go back in and it's back to the 24/7 schedule. When I searched for that issue on google i came across others who noted a glitch with the camera based schedules. Just before you...

Having an issue trying to get cameras on a milestone schedule whilst using the built in motion on the cameras. For this one scenario It's a HK camera with built in motion. 2cd2332. I already have this and other cams setup for xprotect to see a hardware event of motion start and motion stop...

I was close to reaching the same conclusion. The intel updated warns me of a vendor specific driver for video, so I'll prob have to chat with dell and see what exactly they can advise on this. Their driver is from Nov '16 but I'm guessing since this machine is so new that they will package...

Want to ask if anyone has come across an issue with the latest xprotect 2017 R1 smart client and memory issues. I'm trying to transition an older machine out, I believe it's an HP 8200 and I'm trying to build up a new Dell 7040m unit. The HP unit has 6 cams up in the current view, full quality...

disregard. device pack install must have been jacked up. had 8.9, downloaded 9.0 and everything popped back up.

If anybody has some insight on this: brand new install of 2017 R1 Essential. All cameras are HK, using the 8x3 profile. Everything appears to show up fine in the config console except for events. When I go to configure events for recording, the only option I see is for built in motion...

got it, I just pulled down a few detailed videos on folks setting up BI. Will watch these and give it a try.

Do I want to spend that much money on milestone? heck no. But I am very comfortable with that software platform both at home and at work. I've played around with many different nvr software packages but the ease of setup and monitoring with milestone seems the better option, just not the...

I did remember hearing about that, but I thought that was only for paid essential customers right? I found one shop that sells the essential license, looks like for 16 cams it would run about 800. but plus the price of the milestone care I wonder how close that would put me to the outright...

Since I can't afford the latest and greatest I'm not really up to date on what is used in the datacenters now, so no challenge to what you're saying!

No not really. it's comparing two different focuses of application. The xeon setup has it's strong points for datacenter applications where very heavy loads are key.

Prob won't go beyond 16 cams for my setup, but what is the limit of a optiplex/elitedesk unit in terms of number of cameras it can handle?

Yeah yeah yeah I know it's a heater. I run mostly virtual platforms so these servers are my main go to for the sheer power, just at the expense of electricity.
