    Hi guys, I'm about to move to the Dahua world with a DAHUA IPC-HDW5442TP-ZE-2712-S3 Having said that, I'll probably sell the Hik camera (a 4MP with a 1/3" sensor....yeah I know...) but ideally, I'd like to keep the Hikvision NVR. I forgot to say that I also have an Ajax security platform, in...
