Any HIKVision IP Cameras working standalone without DVR/NVR

[ais11]

Hello all,
Wondering if someone can answer me. I wanted to buy HIKVision Fisheye IP camera but seller told me it works through NVR only. I want to use it standalone. Do you guys know if it is all HIKVision IP cameras or there are some models available which can work standalone without DVR/NVR? Thanks in advance.

yes you can use any hik ip camera without a nvr/dvr

you will need a source to power camera if you switch doesn't have POE built in

or a poe injector or you could use a power supply locally to the camera location using the fly lead to power it and just run the cat5 cable to you router/switch

you can use the internal sd card reader to store images or use a nas box

Thank you very much for your response. I was about to buy on ebay but their description was misleading so wanted to confirm. Thanks again.

Could you consider the new Milesight 12MP fisheye camera?
Milesight UI-9F74-PC 12MP Fisheye Network Camera

Just released (stock arriving next week), latest technology, works standalone.
