konieczn Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've recently bought all of our surveillance equipment and bought what I had thought, or was told would integrate with our C4. The NVR is as follows: http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1_10649_i8678.html My installer came today and said this one would not integrate with C4. Does anyone have any insight? Or could anyone tell me which 4 channel Hikvision NVR I need? Thanks in advance! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy.trochez Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Control4 doesn't have a driver for the NVR, but HouseLogix does https://www.houselogix.com/shop/hikvision-nvr-control4-driver-license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konieczn Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks, I saw that and showed him. Also, he said he doesn't think this NVR records based on motion, it's just continuous (Is prefer Motion so I can program off of motion). Does this NVR have any limitations? I saw this comment under the driver: Hikvision DS-7600 series NVR firmware only has H264 settings for the camera no mpeg settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gix656 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 No that will work fine. And yes it record motion, however you can't see the motion events in your phone app if you have continuous recording enabled. You need to use a computer to see motion events.

vitali Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 you have 2 way to connect hik. 1. connect all cameras to PoE switch 2. add Hik cameras driver 3. read documents attached and make it working All checked - all works. another way (didn't try, but told it works) 1. download HIK NVR/DVR driver 2. read documents attached 3. make it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems. When continuous recording is enabled, motion recording will not show up through the phone app for me. They never have. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong but I've talked to my local rep about this issue and he acknowledged it.

Wattsup Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have the 7604 nvr and I have push notifications for motion detection and can view on the phone all without issue Not intergrated my nvr with c4 as I don't see the benefit v the cost of the household driver.

konieczn Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thank you all for the responses and help. So, it looks like if I want integrated with C4, I buy the driver (is the easiest way). I may just get a different NVR that I know fully integrates without having to buy a separate driver. Does anyone know the cost of the 7600 Series Driver from Houselogix?
