The right Hikvision NVR to drive 10 cameras

[overkillxx]

Hey Guys,

Once again this forum has been a life saver.. I have learnt a lot over quite a few months.

I'm currently looking at the right NVR to drive the following 10 camera setup:

7 x DS-2CD2342WD-I
3 x DS-2CD2385FWD-I (Used for outside due to better night vision on this camera)

Ideally a 12 port NVR is what I am looking for. I am sure if I pick something its going to be the wrong thing.

I would like to also swap 1 of the DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras with a camera that has a microphone built in to capture sound.. I am not even sure if Hikvision sells these..

Any recommendations with the above would be highly appreciative.

Hi,
This HikVision 7616-I NVR would be fine:
Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2-16P 16 Channel Network Video Recorder

The NVRs run in 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128-camera models (sorry no 12-camera models).

HikVision only offer the 2542 mini-dome with a built-in microphone:
Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IS | 4MP Mini Dome IP Camera with Microphone

You can use a Milesight dome camera for the location where you need a microphone, they have many more cameras with built-in microphones:

Hey Phil. Does the Milesight dome camera work with the Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2-16P NVR?
