    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Yep, speaking only from a networking point of view (I'm new ot IP cams): The IPs of the 2 cams plugged directly into the NVR would be on a different subnet and therefore not accessible ('touched') by any external device. You can see them because you can 'touch' the NVR as it's plugged into the...

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Gotcha. I'll need motion detection etc so I'll play around with creating a separate account for each NVR. Might also try using the Secondary stream. Will be back on the farm next week. Thanks for your help man, I hear Denver is sick.

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Lowpro: I would guess that this has to do with the Virtual Host if you're using a setup whereby you've plugged in your cameras directly into the NVR. Possible to go cameras --> switch?

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Thanks nayr! I'm new to Hikvision gear but I presume that I just need to add the camera to the NVR and just select RTSP as the protocol? Cheers

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    lowpro: I would presume that you would need to forward the relevant ports for this if both locations are behind a NAT?

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Hi Nayr, This is exactly what I've done but I could not get it working. As mentioned, it appeared that only one NVR could record from the cam at a time. Perhaps it was because I direct both to the "primary stream"? I didn't have time to mess with the streams. Should I be connecting the second...

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Thanks Securame! Could you please explain what you mean by this "you will need to disable the POE ports on the NVR, otherwise the 8ch are taken by the internal POE ports"? Which NVR are you referring to? Cheers

    Hikvision NVR and cams - recording one camera to 2x NVRs for fail-safing?

    Hey all, First time poster - whole wealth of information on here. I'm wondering if it's possible to record one cameras' stream to two separate NVR for physical data protection purposes? Just did a successful installation of 4x HIK-2CD2722FWDIZ cams and 2x HIK-2CD4526FWDIZ on the weekend...
