So did you run all your cameras back to a poe switch? I just bought a newer blueiris dell OptiPlex 3050 windows desktop than I had, It has an I5-7500, Should this be ok? It has windows 11, but I plan on loading windows 10. Thank you!

ok, Like I said I own BlueIris and It seems overwhelming clear that I should just invest more time into my BlueIris setup. Thanks all!

Thanks All! Do you know of a decent feature rich model? Thanks, I do own it already, but would like a stand alone appliance nvr as well.

Hello, I currently have the following setup. NVR: HS-NVR6408-1U-P8 Cameras: 2 x DS-2CD2142FWD-I 4 x NC304-TD The NVR and 4 x NC304-TD seem off brand. The NVR interface is clunky and requires IEtab to view the feed, I can no longer use playback from the NVR remotely. I am unable to get...

Like the others here, I truly appreciate the time you have taken, and the quality of the content in your videos. Thank you!

I have 3.4.62

No i don't. Is it hard to get the latest firmware for oem?

@Fastb mine also displays multiple colors but only on the NVR console not on the web GUI this is all really helpful information I appreciate the help. That's cool I didn't realize you could set up laser trip wires

So that was was a recommendation from @Fastb which seems to work the best so far... So when we say channels that is cameras correct? I think the purpose is that if it detects a smart event or ivs alert it triggers all cameras to look for additional activity and email pics from all "channels"...

My setup must be a lower level the web interface shows nothing but continuous recording, my NVR console does show smart events in green but i guess i have to be at the console. Do i have it setup wrong? See pics, at 6:36:59 i def set of a "alarm" I got an email and i heard the NVR beep. The...

@Fastb maybr i'll try that, so go continuous, then enable ivs, then when in playback you can just select the events?

As far as i know they are both oem hikvision. Shouldn't they be the same?

Thanks Yeah, i'm experiencing that now, not happy. My fault, i should have done more research and requirement gathering before purchasing, I just trusted my installer. I am not unhappy, I'm just a tinkerer that likes to play with all the features.

Yeah the front is different as you can see from the pics, but that’s what I found too by googling the model. Are they are reseller or manufacturer? Is this unit any good? Thanks!

ugh, sadly it didn't record..all my my equip is oem branded hikvision and all the interfaces look the same, and it lets me set up line crossing and intrusion detection. This is frustrating.

Okay I think I have the scheduling all set up already and everything enable I will try that. Thank you again all for your information I appreciate it and again I'm sorry I didn't provide enough information at the beginning. I'm usually the guy that doesn't like that as well, but being a newbie...

Does motion detection actually have to be turned on or can you just enable Line crossing and intrusion detection this way I can test it?

Will I do apologize if I did not provide enough information. I guess I thought that what I was asking was an industry-standard type Behavior. Again my apologies. I have an oem branded Hikvision NVR with OEM branded Dome cameras. I would eventually like up a siren to alert me for activity that...

I guess fake was a nasty way of putting it, I am used to rebranded hardware in the sense where a cisco server or dell server is sold by a third party as an appliance, but not rebranded with non branded software if that makes sense, I don't think there is anything wrong with the NVR, I just want...

So if i cannot find the model on the site how do i check for firmware?

Hello, Do Line Crossing / Intrusion detection cause recording? I know motion detection does, but it seems so sensitive that it goes off so much i could never put a siren on this. I'd like to use Line Crossing / Intrusion detection for recording and possibly an alarm. Thanks!

Hello, Is there such a think as fake, rebranded or generic Hikvison NVRs and Cameras? I have an NVR and Cameras that appear to have Hikvision FW but don't say Hikvision anywhere. Thanks!

This helped answer that, so is 16:9 the way to go? HD security camera - 1MP 1.3MP 2MP 3MP 5MP 4K UHD resolution

That's interesting, so the same would hold true for the 4mp, thats 16:9?

@JFire Good idea, thanks!

It looks to me like 3mp shows more picture than the 4mp, is that wide angle 16:9? So confusing.

That is an interesting tool, thanks. I really like the DAHUA IPC-HDW5231R-Z but it looks like it is made of unobtainium..

I am looking for something with the quality of the dahua starlight, but with a wider closer FOV, does that make sense?

I am using the existing NVR, There is nothing wrong with the 3mp cameras per say, but i paid for 4mp, So they are being replaced and this had me looking at the specs, bitrates, lenses etc. The 4mp version of mine suport H.264+ which if i understand it is the same quslity higher compression, less...

I currently have 4 x 3mp cameras installed that are being replaced because they are not what I ordered. I know that MP count isn't the end all be all so I'm looking to replace them with good all-around cameras sub $250 if possible. There is a lot of terminology that I am trying to read up on...
