Hi fellow ipcamtalkers.
I spent some time searching this forum on my subject - found a few leads and suggestions, but none of them seems fit for our purpose:
We set up monitoring in 25 stores over the last couple of years, using HIKvision NVR and cams in all of them, and everybody was happy until recently, where a few things made us wonder, if HIKVision is the right product for us.
Certain settings are only accessible through the local NVR GUI:
And finally our local supplier decided not to support HIKVision anymore, however, they will sell us the stuff we need of course.
....and a few other minor things....
As we are nothern Europe based (DK), I was wondering if someone else in that area have experience with other NVR brands/suppliers, that doesn't have the flaws I just mentioned, but still in the same category/pricing as HIKvision?
Come to think of it, I would like to hear from anyone who's got a better suggestion than HIKvision.
Please note, we're not looking for a PC based NVR like BlueIris (which infact runs extremely well at my own house), but an NVR installed locally in every store, which we can manage centrally - including the tricky parts mentioned above - and firmware update when needed.
We welcome any suggestion you might have
Cheers

Certain settings are only accessible through the local NVR GUI:
- Disabling a cam from the VGA output view, which is used in all stores.
- Firmware upgrade disabling PoE!! (and we had to visit half of the stores, just to enable PoE again, through the console - bummer!)
