Hi All,

I need a recommendation for a Hikvision NVR. I currently have 1x 6mp Hikvision camera, but I foresee having up to 4 cameras maximum, but definitely 2 or 3. I would like to be able to record at full resolution 24/7. So I'll need something that can handle that kind of bandwidth (h.265 codec, 15fps).

I don't need POE as power is being provided by a fan-less switch to keep heat / noise down on the NVR.

I'd also like to use the built in intrusion detection and line cross detection.

1 HDD drive bay would be enough.

My main concern is noise, fan-less would be ideal, but a quiet NVR with a fan would be OK. I live in a 2 up 2 down house. So my options for locating the NVR are very limited. Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2 or the Living room. The bathroom, and kitchen are not wired for Ethernet.. and those rooms seem like a bad location for storing an NVR anyway!

I've had a look at what is available, but its a little confusing if i'm honest.

How does the bandwidth work on an NVR? If I get a 8 port Hi-watch NVR that records 8 x 2mp cameras, would that be fine for 2 x 6mp cameras, for example?

tldr:
Need a Hikvision nvr
4 x 6mp cameras. (h.265 codec, 15fps).
1 x HDD
No need for POE
Must be quiet, ideally no fans

Thanks in advance
