MJPEG Streams

[Lukaloka]

Is there any way to stream MJPEG video of the connected analog cameras with HikVision NVRs? It look like their NVR software only supports H.264/5 as encoding for analog devices.

I guess you mean DVRs, and not NVRs? I think Hikvision firmware hasn't supported MJPEG or MPEG4 for years.

Yes, I meant DVR. Do you know if there is any way to convert the streams to support the legacy devices that still rely on MPEG-4?

Try Dahua, unless you have a reason to use Hikvision.

I am not sure about the latest models but until not long ago they did have MJPEG, ONLY on the substream. I can check it if you need on the current models (-X and -X1).

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm stuck with Hikvision for now.
