DS-7616NI-SE/P good or bad?

[paarlberg]

I have been considering dropping BI as my primary and going with an NVR. Wrightwood has these on sale this weekend and I am considering it. I can't see what the max bandwidth is on it though and whether it is a good option.

Any thoughts?

The datasheet, on the Europe website, shows the inbound bandwidth for the 16 channel model rated at 80Mbps.

Any thoughts?

Thought 1. The Hikvision NVR has no where near all the bells, whistles & features as BI, however.... do 'most' peeps use BI at any where near its potential. So the question is, what features are you using and what can you do with out (if anything) ?

Thought 2.. Roughly thinking about camera bandwidth, 3M = 12.84Mbps, 2M = 7.83, 1M = 5.3, 720p = 3.75..... so 16 cams at the same resolution 80/16 = 5bps per cam, so running some at 720p would leave enough bandwidth for some to be higher, but you can do your own sums, lol

I was mainly looking to free up my pc from having BI on it and a higher efficiency option. All of my cams are running at 4mbps, so I would be fine even on 5mbps. The sale is over now, so I will hold off for now.
