I’m curious to know exactly how quick notification are coming through for anyone who has them set up on their Hikvision nvr,
If I walk into front of the camera and set off Ann event I would pretty much get a notification pretty much instantaneous, within 1 second, I deleted the Hik-Connect app recently and reinstalled it, and now seems to take about 5 seconds,
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this?
 
I have 6 cams running on Hikvision NVR, and sounds about the same for me as well. Its about 5-6 seconds for me also. And a few years ago, it seemed notifications were nearly instantaneous as well. This of course was back when you would have the ivms4500 app only and port/set it up yourself but it seemed once they forced you to sign up and have the notifications go thru their server, it delays. It was so bad at one time, I had both Hikconnect, EZViz apps as well as 4200 just so I had other options that were quicker. I may be paranoid, but I do feel like it would be nice to have a bit quick delay time. I still wish there were a way to port it locally thru your own network rather than be forced to have to go thru their server. I have friends who all have Ring, Nest, Dahua, Lorex, etc and have tested them, all seem to have some sort of delay, some better than others. Nest was the only one that came in at 1.5 seconds. Im bummed out about it but unless someone else has any other ideas, I'm stuck too!
