    Idiot's questions and overview for IP CAM installation on Hikvision NVR

    If i set the camera static IP to 192.168.254.3, I don't think I would be able to access it from the LAN (192.168.1.xxx) anymore. Is that correct?

    I searched and found these for a reasonable price. Initially was looking at MiniPTZ, but seemed like there was a fairly high complication rate. Anyways, these say not to upgrade, they have the latest firmware. Multilingual. Anyone have these and have any feedback?

    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    I received mine a week or so ago and is the small version as well. I don't know how to check mfr date. It has an extra screw hole on each side, perhaps stronger mounting points (3 total per side) for wider ears? I have no clue, just speculating.
