Just wondering, how do I know the NVR I get will be compatible with the IP Hikvision cameras I buy? Do certain NVR's only work with certain models? I have a rough idea of what cameras I want, but when it comes to NVRs its very confusing.

Would it be better to install some kind of outdoor lights to give better view to the camera? Maybe motion activated? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

One will be under the covered porch. Two others will be at the side of the house. It's very narrow space with the neighboring houses, so we actually get very little sun. But the one in front of the garage and innthr backyard will have alot of sun exposure. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Thank you for the knowledgeable reply. So Turret it is then. Any concerns in dusty construction sites, in terms of gunk etc. getting into the gaps on the turret? The dirty environment was what lead me to lean towards dome originally. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I prefer Dome, we live in an area that is still being developed, with large open spaces, very high winds, and lots of dust blowing. Dome sounds better to me in this scenario. I'm concerned the dust might get into some of the gaps I see in the turrets. Everyone I call for buying and...

Hello, You were able to flash a Yi camera to do continuous recording? Can you explain? I have a small indoor one that only records motion and saves to microSD. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

I confirm if I save in Blue Iris format, it works. But why doesn't the other, more standard formats work? Tried mp4, AVI. Played in VLC, nothing. If I need to provide footage due to a legal matter that should arise, I would like to have a standard format, not something proprietary. And I...

Wow, thank you I did not know this. So assuming I go Intel (not sure I will yet), which generations are "safest", or not affected by this bug? Should I be going 6xxx series?

Sorry meant 8700, not 8400. 8400 is only 6 threads, 8700 is 12 threads, like Ryzen 2600. Looking at Amazon Canada for prices, I usually get my PC stuff from there (relativly competitive pricing, and most importantly hassle-free returns if I have issues).

Rarely, the PC will likely sit in the basement most of the time and I will only review occasionally if I need to see something. I won't be actively monitoring. Wondering, if I am watching a video that is ALREADY SAVED to the disc, there is no encoding happening, no? The file has already been...

Thanks this is exactly what I want, someone whose actually used both. Is hardware acceleration/QS an issue if I am writing direct to disk? Ie no encoding? Do you remember what kind of cpu usage you were seeing with both? With and without QS would be great if you remember. How much of an...

Has anyone tested with Ryzen second gen? I'm really impressed with all the extremely favorable reviews of these CPUs, and the extremely high thread count, efficient power consumption, and most importantly cheaper cost compared to Intel. I'll be using direct-to-disc, likely 4 to 6 cameras...

Seeing some camera's with a feature called 120db WDR. What is this and is worth paying extra for? From what I can understand, it seems this feature is good for areas with direct sunlight, which would normally cause everything in the foreground to go dark without WDR..... Sent from my Mi A1...
