Not noticed any issues since the switch to 10240 Kbit H265 which seems to do bitrates about the same as the DS-2CD2385FWD-I on 16384Kbit H624, so its still a much better picture than the old camera.

I was wrong, events ARE being logged, I had to click the human head icon to view human detection events.

Just wanted to note, I did drop the bitrate back down to 10240 and switch to H265 again as the stream was freezing sometimes. So I don't think its the combined bandwidth that matters, its if a single camera spikes above a certain point. Strangely its stopped marking Events on the DVR despite...

Looking good so far other than running into the same problem I had with the other cameras when using Plug and Play mode, I cant login to the camera as it doesn't set the password to the same as the NVR like its supposed to. I guess they never fixed that in the new firmware. :( Its now gone...

@Dan That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks. I ordered the DS-2CD2386G2-IU a few days ago anyway from yourselves even though I could have got it cheaper off eBay, its this sort of support that's worth paying a premium for. I only have 2 8MP cameras at the moment so it sounds like I might...

@chrizzo The one channel at 8MP is playback/live, right? I guess what happened is it switched to the main stream whereas before it was using the sub streams, thus why I get only one channel. I believe it can however record fine on all four channels at 8MP as its not doing any processing, just...

I'm using a DS-7604NI-K1 / 4P(B) so what specifically is the problem with the K series on 8MP cameras? I've not been able to get more than one camera to view a live image on the monitors plugged into the NVR anyway with only two cameras, even on the v3 firmware it was buggy. The Smart Event...

I had quite fun with the 4 camera version, if it displays on the live view seems to depend on the camera settings. H264+ and H265+ doesn't work with live view. And even though I restored my two cameras back to the same settings, only one is working on live view, fortunately the important one...
