    SSD experience?

    Have opinions changed at all regarding using SSDs for recording storage? I'm moving OS and Milestone VMS to small SSD but what about storage? The price point is low enough now for my storage needs but has the technology changed to accommodate constant writes without premature failures?

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    I'm sorry I didn't read your original post right. I thought it was a single cam. I missed the NVR part.

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    The one that worked I believe was the Hikvision Generic driver using the camera login and password, not the Onvif Profile name and password.

    hikvision nvr with xprotect essential+ help

    You're right port 8000 was for a Reolink Onvif. I do remember struggling with a Hikvision that would fail to add at the final step and it finally succeeded. I'm trying to remember but I think I unchecked all the drivers except Onvif, 2 Hikvision drivers and the Universal driver. After clicking...

    NightChroma vs. ColorVu

    I didn't mean to imply the Annke is just as good as the Hik. While it's not up to par as a real security solution, I'm happy with it to see what my dogs are barking at late night. The Hik will be pointed at the driveway and back door. I'm very happy with the upgrade. My old 1080P cams were toys...

    NightChroma vs. ColorVu

    Hikvision Ds-2CD2087G2 8mp ColorVu on top vs. Annke NC400 4mp NightChroma bottom. This was after 9pm. Complete darkness. Impressed by both. Really impressed by the Annke $80 price tag. Next I'll get a face in the pictures. Pro/guru comments welcome. How do these really compare with each other?

    Set up hardware motion detection/recording

    Essentials+ 2021 r2. I can't get the software motion detection to work in my environment. Lots of shadows with light changes throughout the day and headlight reflections trigger too many false recordings. I'd like to use the hikvision camera motion detection instead to trigger recordings. Can't...
