Hi Teken, The Edge recording term was new to me so I looked it up. Here's a good def and a host of several good reasons that it is beneficial. Thanks for broadening my Knowledge. https://www.videosurveillance.com/tech/edge-recording.asp

Hi All, This may be a simple answer but I am trying to understand the benefit of installing a micro SD card into an IP camera if data is already being received and recorded to a hard disk on the NVR ? An active IP connection is necessary for the POE function to supply power to the camera and...

HI All, I just watched a video of someone with a HikVision NVR who replaced the fan in the power supply to reduce the noise as well. He ended up using the on board 2 pin connector to connect to a 3 pin adapter. The 3 pin adapter was then connected to a Noctua 20 x 40mm fan. I think I would...

Hi Alastair: Thank you for all your responses and advice. I am happy to report that I am now able to see all Amcrest Cameras and they are online. This was a great learning experience and I hope it helps other in the future with ONVIF camera's and Hikvision configuration. Once again I want to...
