Dahua Cam On Hik NVR - Detection.

[Munzz]

Hi All,

1) Can I use Dahua cameras on a Hik NVR?

2) Will line crossing detection and intrusion detection work if so or is this only limited to Hik cams?

1) yes, if manually added.

2) no.

Can I use Dahua cameras on a Hik NVR?

It may depend on which camera - and which Hikvision NVR - and which firmware. There are many models, many combinations, and lots of versions of firmware.
If you want an answer based on someone else's actual experience - you'll need to supply some specifics of your configuration.

I have a Dahua HDW4431C-A with Software Version 2.420.0000.21.R, Build Date: 2016-07-24
working OK with motion detection under ONVIF in Hikvision NVRs DS-7816N-E2 3.4.96 an DS-7616NI-K2 3.4.96
No (equivalent of) line crossing or intrusion detection though.
But I'd say it works pretty well, I've seen no problems at all.

Thanks for the swift response.

Thanks, ideally want line crossing as had not had much joy with standard motion detection in a flowered garden environment.
