Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

[walkjp1]

Thinking of going back to Hikvision for the better email setup. But, Andy says it is hard to connect Dahua cams to Hikvision Nvr.
Can someone elaborate please?

All ONVIF means is that the video for sure will come thru. Advanced features like AI may or may not work.

Meaning it might send you too many emails if you can't differentiate the AI.

Manufacturer and best practice is to match brand of camera and NVR to ensure full functionality.

I have just given up on finding a way to make Dahua send me good picture emails. Hikvision will send me 1 email for event with several photos. But, all this can be done from camera of course. So, as long as I can view it with ONVIF, I think it will be ok.

Thank you

I get great email pictures from my Dahua NVR and cameras. I only get 1 image, but that’s ok with me, it’s a notification

I also get a push alert Ding on my phone which I can then click on and get a pic and a video of the event..

Yours must be broken

Not broken, get the same as you. For every motion event I get 2 emals. 1 event email, dont want it. Then another email containing 1 photo which I then have to click on to open. PITA
Wih Hikvision, I get 1 email, containg as many photos as I want. And, they are displayed as soon as i open email. MUCH better.
