    Continuous record with motion emails?

    So I have already figured out that on a Hikvision NVR there is no way to have continuous recording and see when motion is detected at the same time. I was wondering if you could maybe have the individual cameras send emails when they record motion on a continuous recording schedule per the NVR...

    Remote access cameras on NVR

    So I need to access the settings on each of the cameras to fine tune each one. They are all hooked up to my NVR POE ports, so I can't just enter the IP address. Anyone have any ideas how I could accomplish this without going out and hooking a wire into each one and attaching it to the computer?

    So I ended up getting two NVR's because the seller on DH-Gate wouldn't cancel my order even when he told me they didn't have what I ordered. I originally ordered a 7716NI-E4/16P and when he stated he was out, I went to eBay and bought it, canceling my order with him. He ended up sending a...

    Setup Hikvision NVR with i-vms 4200

    So I got most of my cameras and my NVR and tried setting things up today. I was able to add the cameras themselves directly to the I-VMS 4200 software but I cant add the NVR for whatever reason.

    4MP cams on Hikvision NVR's

    So I've read that if the Hikvision NVR states it supports 5MP / 3MP / 1080p.... etc. and it doesnt state 4MP specifically, that 4MP cameras will not work on those NVR's despite them stating up to 5MP. Is this true? Any idea what NVR to get for 4MP cams?
