    Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P , what are the "gotchas" ?

    Out of curiosity, how many cameras were you trying to run 5 MP 12k bitrate 30 FPS with? I might be greedy and go for 3 MP 20 FPS 8192 kbps. I got to try one of the 16 channel 7700 versions the other day and was incredibly disappointed. It was limited to 100 mbps total.. so that brings bitrate...

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P , what are the "gotchas" ?

    Oh I expect 5 megapixel out of this like I expect English tech support :) If it can do 7 cameras at 3 MP, 4096 kbps, 15 FPS I will jump for joy. and I would never dare update the firmware on these... ever. Half of these being sold outright state they are grey market and that you cannot update...

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P , what are the "gotchas" ?

    So I was asked by someone to hook this up for them and I am curious what the "gotchas" will be. Everytime I set up a cheap chinese system there are "gotchas" like oh it says 3 mp/1080p playback but it can only show the substream in liveview even when you set it to fullscreen view ONE CAMERA...

    Hikvision HD-DVR availability: very silly question.

    So on Hikvision HD-SDI stuff, I think I finally have an idea what's going on with this. :) I bought a DVR from one local company,surveillance-video.com. Just incase that didn't show up, I also bought it from aliexpress. The aliexpress person told me they have one and that it is out of stock...

    GV-EYE with Geovision NVR - any way to get less compression to mobile devices?

    Page 8 is full of lies. :( None of those buttons exist. I'll email geovision and see what they say.

    GV-EYE with Geovision NVR - any way to get less compression to mobile devices?

    Now it makes sense. The buttons they show on the screen in that manual don't exist in the Android app. Even most of the buttons on the GV-EYE android app don't exist on the actual android app! http://www.geovision.com.tw/upload/en/mobileap/GV-Eye_AndroidV130.pdf :( Just bastardized version of...

    GV-EYE with Geovision NVR - any way to get less compression to mobile devices?

    Viewed with internet explorer or geovision's remote viewer looks great, on the NVR looks great. On the Samsung S5 it looks awful. I thought it might be adapting to the network speed, so I disabled mobile data on my phone and turned on wifi and had it sitting on top of the router, ASUS RT66 which...

    Hikvision HD-DVR availability: very silly question.

    Feel free to kick me if I am missing something very obvious. On their North America/English site, I can't find an HD-SDI DVR. On the Spanish site, I can. Is there a reason for this, for Hikvision to not market those particular products on their North American site? I work with IP cameras...

    This guy is fantastic

    I must say; thank you for all the words! Kind or otherwise. ;) For the most part, cursing is reserved for the videos. This channel never started with the intention of being a soapbox for tech issues, or a how-to guide to component level motherboard repair. It was actually my own form of...
