You sure you don't have the DS-7608NI-E2/8P ? The I2 is only just out and is a H.265 model.
Oops, you're right. I have the E2 model
1) Mac - Use Firefox, poor Mac support is something you hopefully knew before you bought a Mac, this is more a problem for Apple than Hikvision/Dahua or whoever. I expect Windows Edge / Chrome support will follow soon
True, I wasn't apportioning blame to Hikvision, just stating the reality of the situation
2) I've only ever got this working with Dahua, I don't think it works
Thats a shame, it would be really useful and address a lot of my criticisms if it automatically took you to the relevant point in time in the recording.
Initially it couldn't get the 'push token' from the NVR, but then something changed and that started working. Still no notifications though, but as far as the NVR is concerned its apparently all been configured correctly.
4) Documentation is crap... agreed. NVR can't do motion detection, it's all being done by the camera (if you really wanted to know you could've found out here).
I think I did ask at some point, but from what I recall it wasn't that conclusive. Maybe I'm thinking of a different forum though
compared to Blue Iris it's not in the same league
You're saying Blue Iris is much more powerful and configurable? This is great news if so. I cannot try it yet until I get a PoE switch since all my cams rely on the NVR for power
