Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P Question

[Parley]

The specifications say 1020P with 6 channels at 1020P and 8 channels at 720P. So if I hook up 8 cameras does that mean all 8 will be at 720P resolution? Right now I am looking at a variation of 6 or 7 of the 2032 cameras and maybe 1 or 2 of the Huisun 10x PTZ mini bullet. Thanks, Allen

think so yes, of you want 8 channels the max res for each cam is 720p.

 

[Parley]

Hmmmm. So what is the best way to get 8 channels at 1080P? Maybe buy an additional NVR 4 channel unit which would give me 10 at 1080P? Trying to think of a way around this. I don't think 6 cameras will work for what I want to do.

you will better of buying the NEWER I2 DS-7608NI-I2/8P, as it support 8-ch (Up to 12 MP resolution & 4-ch @ 4K, or 16-ch @ 1080p)

Thanks Andy. You are right. The DS-7608-I2/8p is the way to go. Now to find one at the best price.

Thanks Andy., I have an inquiry into Melisa for pricing and availability. I have already ordered the other unit but will put it up for sale at a discount if Melisa can come through for me. Then again it would make a good back up unit. I will have to think about it.

Andy, it looks like England is the only place selling that unit right now.

So what are the Scots, Welsh and Irish going to do?
Oh, I know, stick with Ali where you get more realistic prices.

I finally got a quote from China on the Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P. The price is $379 with a 30 day lead time. I don't think this is a popular model yet so the price is still up there. However it does look like it will fill my needs.

Slightly confused at the specs. I originally had the DS-7608NI-E2/8P and just upgraded to the DS-7616NI-E2/8P. I have 8 cameras and all are recording at (3MP) 2048x1536. Am I missing something as to the specs?

 

[andyblac]

E2/E4 is the old model's, the newer I2/I4 are model's that supports higher bitrates.

 

[andyblac]

ok, should have said UK has to be the first. but i would never buy Chinese models, no warranty / support for UK. Not to mention the Firmware issues (flashing to english etc).

According to the manufacturers specs the DS-7616NI-E2/8P with 8 cameras reverts to the 720P format, 6 cameras at the 1080 format and 16 channels at the 4CF format. So if I understand the specifications right with 8 cameras it reverts to the 720P format. That is why I am interested in the DS-7608NI-I2/8P. It records in the higher format. 4-ch@8MP, 8-ch@4MP and 16-ch@1080P
