The minimum low light specification for the hybrid camera is way better than the direct replacement. The Hybrid camera uses it's inbuilt light to illuminate a scene. It's a pretty powerful light. It's also has a larger lens aperture and larger sensor than the other camera. All pointing to...

Ok JB. Very much appreciate the advice and explaining the pitfalls I may encounter.

Thanks for your advice once more JB. I will need to change the password on 2 cams first as they dont match the NVR's password but also I will be changing cam settings after the upgrade as they are throttled back at the moment due to the K NVR struggling with decoding. Therefore can I use...

I decided to upgrade to an 8 channel M series.. I currently have a 7608 K2 using the latest version 3 software (not v4) with 7 cams of G0, G1 and G2(c) variants connected to POE ports on the NVR. My question is. What is the correct procedure to transfer these cams to the M series NVR...

Hi Did you get this. How much does it knock down the noise.

I have still got my 7608 K2 on v3 firmware but am thinking it's about time to get v4. Also to look at upgrading a couple of cams so it's gonna be an M series NVR for me rather than just a firm upgrade on the K. I may opt for the 16 channel as opposed to the 8 but my main concern is fan noise...

Thanks a lot JB. Your reply makes perfect sense. Does seem to be the case from reading the relevant threads on the forums that the users affected are not very clued up about their systems.

Thanks I've seen that. A user posted it on the forum in question. I was just wondering what this forum thought as Dan and the other chaps are pretty hot on these kind of things Would be interested for instance to know in what circumstances systems are vulnerable and whether it is relevant to...

I have seen a number of reports on a Facebook forum that users are being hacked. The hack results in a message appearing on all camera feeds. Photo of one such hack attached. I've not experienced this myself but wondered if it is known to this group.

All 7 cams using between 3 and 4 watts each therefore the switch is easily capable of dealing them plus more.

Hello David No I haven't really considered that but can see it might be an issue. I'll have a look at what power usage I've got at the moment. I didn't purchase the switch, it was given to me so it's not a loss if it's not going to be any good. Cheers

Hello Dan I think you hit the nail on the head, I just didn't understand what connects to what and presumed it's the way I described it. know. The reason for having the switch is the usual too many cables go into the nvr, making it a bit more tidy and allowing me to move the nvr around...

Hello David 5 of 4mp G0s, 1 6mp G1 and 1 of 8mp G2(c). I realise the switch may struggle with the bandwidth with all cams working but I'll give it a go. My lack of knowledge and understanding is with process and connections for setting this up rather than the settings (other than anything to...

Good Evening I have a 7608p NVR and 7 poe cams. Cams are currently connected directly to the NVR ports and the NVR is connected to my router. All works good HIK Connect, etc. I'm looking to alter the connection so that cameras are connected into a POE switch, POE switch is connected to NVR...
