    So I am between the 7700 series and the pro 9600 series nvr. Besides the pro having no POE and more hardrive capacity, is the processing power better when comparing the 2?

    Camera vs NVR settings

    I can't comment on how generic cameras would react but can as far as US Hik's. You can go into each camera and change settings, but the NVR overrides all camera settings if it's a hik camera and hik NVR. So while the individual camera page may seem to retain all of the different settings when...

    Viewing cameras on TV remotely

    So I currently have an established system and would like to view my cameras on my tv that is not located near my nvr. One option is to buy a small inexpensive nvr and use that to stream cameras. Another option to purchase a raspberry pi and use that to stream my cameras. Has anyone tried this...

    DS-7608NI-I2/8P VS DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    Just got my new I2/8P today and setup was smooth. There is no lag like there was with the E2/8P. When using the browser with the E2/8P and setting up smart detection, there would be a significant amount of lag with 4mp cameras making the process next to impossible. The I2/8P doesn't have this...

    NVR with IR control?

    What you are asking is possible if you were using a Hikvision nvr. Last year, a firmware was released to include this option. You have to download their app which is called iVMS-4500 and under one of the settings is "remote controller". With this feature, you can use your phone as a remote...

    DS-7608NI-I2/8P VS DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    So I was just randomly looking through the Hikvision website and I found a couple new NVR's. The DS-7608NI-I2/8P was labeled a new product. There is very little information online and the little bit I seen didn't seem too accurate. The most significant improvement was that it could handle up...

    Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-E2/8P IS SO SLOW when loading image!!!

    So still no change so I enabled virtual host. I connected directly to the camera and there is no lag when trying to set up any smart alerts when connecting directly to the camera. So the lag is certainly due to the NVR but its the only lag I have experienced so since their is another work...

    Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-E2/8P IS SO SLOW when loading image!!!

    Thanks, I upgraded to the latest firmware but no change. I've even found an article where someone mentioned he restored everything to default settings and it got rid of the lag but that didn't work for me. Any other thoughts?

    Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-E2/8P IS SO SLOW when loading image!!!

    So I just purchased a new US Version NVR DS-7608NIE2/8P. When using the web browser interface and going through different menus, there is no delay and works fine. Whenever I am on a menu where it needs to load an image from a camera, such as setting up motion, intrusion, or line detection...

    Night vision.

    I have noticed that my hikvision dS-2cd2132 cameras are very light sensitive. What I mean is when an area becomes less bright, the night vision turns on when I believe there is still plenty of light. Is there a way to adjust that sensitivity?

    10/100 vs gigabit

    I'm in the middle of installing 4 new dS-2cd2132 cameras. My POE is a 10/100 switch. Am I sacrifice camera quality by not going to a gigabit switch? Also, I am using a flir NVR for storage and hdmi out to tv. When cameras are not connected directly to an NVR as my situation, is the quality...
