Hi,
I have an HikVision NVR with 8 POE, so far all works well with the cams connected directly to the NVR, but the data stream volumes are limited. I am thinking to buy an 8MP camera which would overload the NVR and was wondering what happens if I connect it directly to my home network. It would not be storing on the NVR but on a memory card, but I understand that I can fully integrate in my hik.connect setup just as one more camera - right?

Any drawbacks? Another reason is that direct camera configuration seem to have much more options as the NVR configurations.

Any help / suggestion?

Tom
