Haha... that would explain why! :laugh: Thank you for your help.

It's a Hikvision DS-2CD3345-I. I think that may be the case, what a plonker I feel like now, especially after making this thread - I don't know why but I incorrectly assumed it support wifi. It's not really an issue with my setup but it would have been nice. Thanks for your quick response.

Hi everyone, So I have received my camera (I am still waiting for the NVR). however I am trying it out and trying to get it setup wirelessly so I can see the quality. I have been able to setup and get it working fine over LAN (when I have an ethernet cable connected). However I am struggling...

Thanks for the reply. That's great to hear. I think that's settled then, I will buy the 1TB WD Purple drive for sure. I appreciate the advice :D

Many thanks.

Thanks for the advice Okay, I was hoping for someone to say the cheaper drives were okay but I would rather pay the extra if the cheaper ones are much more likely to cause issues. You sound pretty confident on that and the Purple drives seem a popular drive. So I should go with the 1TB Purple...

Hello, I've been doing some research recently but I am fairly new to all this. I've ordered a NVR and IP camera but now I need a hard drive. Here is what I've seen: 1. (£45) 1TB (3 year warranty)...

I have to admit I am even more confused now because the original one's I linked which you said would not work together, the seller has replied saying they will work okay but I would need to change the resolution to only 2mp which is what I wanted anyway. Is it likely they are wrong them? I see...

For around £100 I obviously wouldn't expect the 4MP Hik camera. I just wanted to know what I could expect for this budget, would I even be able to achieve 720 with a reasonable quality?

Thank you. You're right, I am trying to cut corners to be within budget. I initially did want to spend around £100 for some cheap system and other people (from another forum) tried to tell me to go for that camera. I came here for some advice as I thought people here would be more...

I've found this which looks okay, I understand the the NVR I previously linked will not work with this as per post 4, however do you have any recommendations as to what will...

I've had a read and I understand now. Thank you. I will look at getting a turret instead.

Thank you. To confirm I did take note from what you said however I wanted confirmation. I did take your advice and I have contacted the seller and am waiting for a response. I also did look at the 2mp model but that is also a chinese model unless you're referring to something I am missing. So...

I supplied the links and simply asked if they was compatible. I'd like to know how that's being lazy. I've never had such a negative response on a forum and I use loads.. perhaps it's the subject.

I haven't come here for games. I am not familiar with IP cameras hence why this is my first purchase. I just wanted a recommendation for a camera and NVR setup. If you don't want to help me that is okay.

Well I've tried looking on this forum and I can find lots of info but not much relating to what I need. I guess there is no common camera/nvr setup. I was hoping for an easy answer that's why I joined the forum. Whilst I don't expect anyone to go out their way and search for me, I thought...

I understand the megapixel doesn't relate to quality and there are other factors involved - now your comment makes sense. I was just previously stating that sample images I had seen make the 4mp model I was looking at better than the 3mp model at night. Anyway forgetting that I am just...

Thanks for your response. Sorry, I don't quite follow. So you're suggesting their 2mp cameras are better? Do you have a model number so I can look for those please since they have so many? Also with regards to the firmware, I understand that I cannot upgrade but surely I will be okay...

I've seen the comparisons and the 4mp model is better, especially at night. I am not worried about updating the firmware providing it works that is fine. The seller has the same camera model for sale aswell and it says nothing about it being incompatible though, obviously that doesn't mean...

Thanks, I guess they language will missmatch? I've looked on alliexpress but whilst I could find many, I couldn't find any together and I've never ordered from them before - I would have preferred to pay with PayPal. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your quick response. I have looked at the international model however they are around double the price as with the camera. I understand that these were intended for the chinese market and have had their firmware altered in such a way that they cannot be upgraded anymore however...

Good evening everyone, I am looking to buy my first IP camera and NVR setup. After hours of searching I came up with the following however just before ordering I noticed that in the camera's description it says its incompatible with multi language nvr so I don't know if they will work...
