Hi,
I have a LaView NVR LVN9808C8E 8 Channel H.264 POE. It says up to 6MP resolution recording: 6MP/5MP/3MP/1080P/UXGA/720P/VGA/4CIF/DCIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF
Not sure if that means per camera or total combined resolution.
Anyway, I have 3 laview cameras and want to add 5 more cameras. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for brands/models. I'm familiar with Dahua (have 2 Dahua NVRs), but it seems LaView uses Hikvision hardware??? If it really is Hikvision, I'm wondering if it is better to just buy Hikvision cameras instead of LaView branded cameras. I'm wondering if I buy Hikvision or Dahua cameras, will the features be limited instead of buying LaView. I'm interested in line crossing/tripwire type features, human AI detection, and also active deterrence type features (e.g., flash lights/sound siren if a person/not an animal detected if a pre-defined zone (e.g., Dahua TiOC series). It seems this NVR doesn't have a lot of AI type features. I'm not too clear on what happens if you buy an advanced camera with a lot of AI type features, but your NVR can't support them, is it wasting money? Or, perhaps is it a situation where I can use the NVR for just basic things like recording and can configure the camera directly to fully utilize all of its AI features? Guess I'm not clear on what I lose by using ONVIF compatible cameras versus the branded LaView camera.
Thanks for any clarification. Would appreciate any recommendations on models/brands / vendors.
