My next door neighbour said he had some significant issues configuring his old hikvision system so when he moved he went a different route I have always been very pleased with my cameras and they were super easy to setup on blueiris and also on my mac feed. If you are agreeing on behalf of your company, you represent and warrant that you have legal authority to bind your company to the Materials License Agreement above.

You can keep your cameras connected to your LAN and add them via their IP addresses to the NVR, so there is no need to rewire anywhere. So, if you are planning to use new cameras in your system, the increased budget of the M-Series models is essentially vital now. You can use iVMS-4200 on a Mac as well, which works fine, but the interface is quite clunky and feels old.This is because these cameras use significantly more bandwidth than earlier models and the older NVRs did not have enough incoming bandwidth to support fully loading them with the new cameras without a major reduction to video settings such as frame rate and resolution, even when you are using the H. However, your cameras will always record in full resolution, so the “decoding capability” has no impact on your recorded footage.

Users can add up to four 8MP IP cameras to the NVR via the 4 ports located at the back of the device.

Recording resolution will only be impacted when bandwidth is overloaded, if you go beyond the decoding limit this will only impact the resolution that a certain number of cameras will display at in live view. Decoding capability – this refers to what an NVR is able to display at one time in either Live View or Playback. Outgoing bandwidth is another thing to think about, as it specifies what the NVR is able to broadcast to other devices - e. Decoding Capability refers to the number of cameras the NVR can display at the same time, so for the Q-series if you have all the cameras set to 8MP you will only be able to live view one camera at a time at that full resolution and if you tried to display 4 cameras in split screen you would see 1 camera in main stream full resolution and the other 3 would be streaming in lower resolution sub-stream.

Leading the way, Hikvision’s newly released M-Series NVR has been comprehensively upgraded to deliver high resolutions with sharp imaging in expansive areas. The Hikvision DS-96128NI-I16 is a very High End Professional NVR with up to 12MP resolution recording capability. The Hik-connect app is designed to work with Hikvision DVRs, NVRs and IP cameras which support Cloud P2P function.The Hiwatch by Hikvision NVR-108-A/8P is a 6TB NVR that can be connected to up to 8 network cameras. With a SIM/UIM card slot on the rear panel, a 4G wireless network can be achieved, ideal for temporary or isolated locations where a physical network connection is not possible.

Even better, these cameras can broadcast custom voice messages to warn trespassers to leave a restricted area. HD CCTV systems are ideal where budget is key, they are low cost, high definition solutions, costing much less than their IP counterparts and offer great value for money.

ColorVu cameras will also work on all of these NVRs and the NVR you use will not impact how well the low-light imaging will work.
