    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    I wouldn't say that at all. The integrated PoE switch is a completely separate network from the management port. That's why you can't reach the cameras through the NVR without enabling the Virtual Host setting, which turns the NVR into a proxy for communicating with the cameras. The Virtual...

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    Clearly the cameras prioritize DHCP over the NVR's proprietary IP assignment protocol, so your cameras would get their addresses from your DHCP server. Maybe not immediately, but certainly after a reset, and maybe even after some polling period. So barring any additional steps, that means...

    Which is completely inaccessible to anyone who self-describes as "useless" with networking.

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    There are two ways to access the cameras' management pages after they are connected to the NVR. One is to enable the Virtual Host feature of the NVR, if available. Once enabled, go to the camera management page, and click the link next to each camera. The links are to the NVR's IP on a...

    Hikvision 7732NI-SP/16 playback searching

I have motion alerts enabled (and get the e-mails), but there's no markup in playback on the timeline to show them. What's the trick to get...

    3MP @20fps recommendations

    Can you clarify what you mean by "2 series"? None of the bullet cameras on Hikvision's site report 3MP@20fps on their spec sheets.

    Full access to cameras via Hikvision NVR?

    What's the DHCP situation when you wire the PoE switch into the rest of the network? Can you disable DHCP on the NVR and have an existing DHCP server assign addresses to the cameras? I'm considering getting such an NVR, and would like to avoid having to buy a separate PoE switch to allow...

    3MP @20fps recommendations

    I'm looking to get a new camera setup, and have decided I'd prefer 3MP at 20fps. I can look up such models all day long (and practically have), but I'd like some recommendations from people who have actually used them. Brands I've looked at include ACTi, GeoVision, and Vivotek. I can't say...
