Hi,
I've got a new install of 2x 8mp hik cameras + hik nvr. It's wired up PoE with a dedicated 1 gbs switch.
Since the first day its never worked satisfactorily. I had to turn down the camera quality and fps otherwise the nvr couldn't be logged into or playback and only recorded intermittently. It now records fine but the quality of the interface is so bad I'm thinking about tossing the lot out.
I get 20 - 30 email alerts per day from "motion detected" when there's nothing.
If I change to a boundary/fence alarm I can't get the boundary off the playback/recording. It's a permanent highlighted box.
I want it to continuously recorded but hikvision then turns alarms off the timeline... so the playback interface has zero indication of when there was an alarm. It's all guess.
The browser interface is buggy and needs a plugin and even then doesn't work in Chrome.
My neighbour just installed a 8x camera UNV set up. He showed me on his phone, all working so perfectly seamlessly, alarms on the timeline, everything. Takes seconds to navigate. After all the issues with hik I couldn't believe it.
So do I toss the hik and if so what's the go-to set up? I want to keep it as poe.
Thanks in advance
