At the moment I have configured software on my Mac to take the feed, short term using the logon details. The image quality with which these devices usually record is between 720p up to 4k in one or all of its channels up to 30 frames per second (FPS), which will give you big-league image quality. Hikvision NVRs play a crucial role in recording, storing, and managing video footage in modern security camera systems. H.264 Video Formats - Up to 8-channels (IP Camera Inputs) - Up to 8MP Decoding Capacity - Up to 128Mbps Incoming Bandwith - Support for a range of VCA (video content analysis) Events - 8. The advantages of the Hikvision NVRs are that they are of course fully compatible and support all the functions of the Hikvision cameras.

If all the cameras are set to 4MP then you can live view 3 cameras simultaneously at 4MP and all the others would appear as sub-stream quality. However, your cameras will always record in full resolution, so the “decoding capability” has no impact on your recorded footage. Decoding capability – this refers to what an NVR is able to display at one time in either Live View or Playback.

AcuSense technology differentiates people and vehicles from other moving objects, allowing security teams to focus on real threats. We must first connect the Monitor/Screen/TV to the NVR via HDMI or VGA cable so that we can see the image and start configuring the NVR initially.There are limitations on adding Acusense from an NVR to a camera that doesn’t already have the technology built-in though, as this guide explains. The reality is that this is not a limitation because if you view one 8MP camera in a 4-way split screen on a 4K/8MP monitor then you are not actually viewing the full resolution as that 8MP image is only taking up 1/4 of that screen. If you are using Hikvision’s newest Acusense cameras, or high-resolution cameras, then one of the most important specifications is the incoming bandwidth budget. So, if you are using an old or low-resolution camera that doesn’t require much bandwidth at all, then the unused bandwidth will become available to any other channel that needs it. If you plan to use Acusense cameras, then we would advise allowing at least 15 Mbps per 8MP camera, 12-13 Mbps per 6MP camera, and 10 Mbps per 4MP camera.
