Hikvision DS-7608N-E2/8P recording setup help

[djangel]

Hoping some of the experts can shine some light my way.

I just purchased a new Hikvision NVR and have some questions configuring continuous recordings at low FPS with higher FPS when motion is detected. Is this accomplished by changing Stream Types under the Video Settings for the cameras and configuring Main Stream(Normal) and Main Stream(Event)? If so, what would be a decent frame rate to set up low and high recordings? 10/30? Space is not an issue, so I would like to have any motion recordings to the best possible quality. Any recommendations for other settings like Bitrate Type, Video Quality and Max. Bitrate?

Also, I've been trying to figure out how to setup the NVR to trigger motion detection markers when playing back continuous recordings for the cameras. I found an older thread on a different forum with the exact issue I'm having without any answers if it can be done (no motion detection markers over the continuous blue recording bar). Can this be accomplished with either a configuration setting within the NVR or maybe using some other management software?

Thanks is advance for any help.

How many cameras do you have?

The limiting factor will be the bitrate. Your NVR will have a bandwidth of 40mbps. Use the Hikvision bandwidth calculator.

You can download the Hikvision tools here.. http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Software/00 Software Tool Package/12 Hikvision Tools Setup/#

I would probably set it up like this...

HTH.

Just noticed your NVR should have 50mbps.

You can use the tool above to move the settings depending on what you value most or to account for a higher frame rate in (motion) event mode.

Even though I had Hikvision Tools installed, I never paid much attention to the bandwidth calculator until your reply. Now it makes sense! Thanks for the info.
