Thank you Coney.The DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/4S is listed on B&H for $545 Hikvision 16-Channel DS-7600NXI-I/P/S Series 160 Mbps NVR
The DS-7716NXI-I4/16P/4S is listed on B&H for $642 Hikvision 16-Channel AcuSense 256 Mbps NVR
And I found the DS-2CD2T46G1-4I listed 123securityproducts for $180 Hikvision DS-2CD2T46G1-4I 4 Megapixel IR Fixed Bullet Network Camera, 2.8mm Lens
B&H currently doesn't have the DS-2CD2T46G1-4I in stock or has ever carried it but I'm satisfied in paying $180 just to test out the Acusense. Like I said before the specs for the camera IMO are the best out of all of the Acusense cameras but still its specs aren't anything to rave about. I just hope I'm pleasantly surprised when I get it in and install it.
Ok better video. We are waiting for a proper owners manual from Hikvision now.
Thank you Coney.
123 has a very difficult to use e shop. The price is about 160.00 Euros almost 30.00 cheaper from my country.
I must now find out the shipping costs from NY to Chicago, and tell my cousin buy a couple for me.
The only thing I don't know is, if USA models are ....."Europe compatible" or they will cause me any problem.
Who did you order it through? B&H?I've read that the firmware is different between the two counties and my not be compatible with the NVR firmware
May need to contact Nikvision to be sure.
I am still waiting on my 4TB WD purple drive. Amazon lost it........ I had the NVR on my door step 20 hours after I ordered it. Been 12 days and counting........urgh!
Finally recieved my Acusense cam today. I'll set it up tomorrow and test it out.
Most of the UPS I've worked with are isolated from source/output.Thank you ralphmouth. I will test with an ohm meter to see and I will tell you results.
NVR is powered by a UPS so I think that connects to earth through it.
For having alarm out to work (12 vdc relay, external powered , armed using a NO NVR alarm out terminal, as switch), I had to remove one of the 4 jumbers on the nvr board.
I have also problems making "one key disarm" (NVR 4.0 menu->System->Normal Event->Alarm Input-> Local 1) to work,
I must find time to run some tests for that also.
Did you get your alarm to work? I noticed that when I removed the jumper on the output board that you lose your ground source.Thank you for showing me the obvious I could not see in front of my eyes.
I think its called experience.
It is true, I will have 12v return to common earth when the NO alarm out change condition to closed (sorry for my bad "tech english").
Hmm I've got homework to do!!!
I will check also wall outlet ground with Nvr ground connectivity.

What did that attack do?Sorry not yet. This week I had to deal with russian Ip (Vladivostok) attack.
I read this thread with interest. I was about to buy 2 or 3 Acusense cameras as I desperately need good alerts with very few false positives. A CCTV company nearly talked me into parting with a lot of cash for Acusense cameras, they didn't mention Acusense being on some of the NVRs. I asked them about this and they quoted me a fortune £3k for an Acusense NVR!! But I have found someone selling (genuine) DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-4S NVRs for a fraction of that. Also, the Acusense cameras I nearly bought were 8mp, and I just don't need that kind of resolution to record stuff on my drive, 4mp is plenty. However I DO need those alerts! from all the research I have done (reading tons of different user manuals which are confusing at best, pathetic at worst!) the Acusense NVR can perform those same accurate alert features on a max of 4 cameras, and any camera will do, the software reads the image so in theory any other PoE cam should be able to work with the Acusense algorithm.
I have a suspicion they have made up a new name "DEEP LEARNING" - this is I think what they will call what we call "Acusense NVRs" in future, and i think it's purely an exercise in maximising profits. I don't believe they have more than one algorithm for these smart alerts.They just created a new name and the prices are massively different. I think they basically slipped up, they put acusense algorithm inside a few NVRs, then a few people (like us here) learned we could avoid the cost of lots of very expensive Acusense cameras (I am in EU btw, we get robbed blind here!) by just getting any old 4mp or even 2mp cameras combined with an Acusense powered DVR/NVR, and jobs a gooden! They caught on I think and are now separating things by confusing terms and proprietary names like "Deep Learning" etc. Just my guess, but after days of reading and watching their videos, I think they are heading that direction, Acusense CAMs and "Deep Learning" NVRs (which are NVRs with that bit of software on!). It actually got me wondering if some clever cookie might fancy hacking these boxes, somehow rip the firmware/algorithm off one Acusense cam/NVR, and flash it onto older DVR/NVRs!!
Can i ask a question of those people who have the Acusense NVRs - Do you have the tick boxes to choose alerts for only humans and/or vehicles? If so, sounds like I am good to go.
