I've not yet seen an ONVIF-compatible camera connect to a Hikvision NVR, but not all ONVIF implementations create motion event notifications, that's hit and miss and not mentioned on any specifications.
**edit** Woops - should have said 'that did NOT connect'.
Apologies for the misinfo.
I've had good results with cameras running the Xiongmaitech firmware, which is widely used and quite recognisable in any screenshots.

I have been running Dahua cameras on my Hikvision NVR's using ONVIF with no problems. I have maybe 50-50 between Dahua and Hikvision. 18 cameras and 3 Hikvision NVR's. Two more LPR cameras to go.

I do not use those features, so I do not know.
I use swann cams with my hik nvr
Swann 5MP Super HD Bullet Security Camera - NHD-850
And motion, intrusion and event notifications all work because swann is just re-branded hik gear.
I flashed the hik equivalent camera firmware to them and bumped the resolution from 5mp to 6mp

That sounds good how did you flash firmware and increase resolution
