Hi all, I am doing some research on a UNV NVR / IPC3615SE-ADF28(40)KM-WL-I0 camera setup with Colorhunter. I just have a few questions before I put it to the missus.
1) the areas the cameras will be placed have no external lighting except for the one out the front which has a street light about 20m away. We want colour at night but I am wondering if it is really that necessary / much of an improvement over standard IR imagery.
2) I am not really into mucking around with mixing and matching brands/manufacturers but we would like to wire in a video doorbell which can also activate in-house chimes when pressed. I have seen some threads here about doing that using a hickvision unit compatible with ONVIF but am wondering how this setup works in reality. Like will I need the hickvision app and the UNV app even if I connect it to the UNV NVR. What features of the doorbell will be retained if I don't download and use its app? If I need 2 apps I may as well install a UNV camera to give me app notifications instead and use the old school doorbell that is already there. Thanks in advance guys.
