sb1805 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 We have a setup with about a dozen Hik cameras and an NVR (cameras connected to switch built into the NVR). What is the best driver or combination of drivers for this setup considering factors such as resolution and/or frame rate when viewing cameras on T4 touch screens, live (rather than still images) in the grid view on T4 touch screens, responsiveness of pulling up full screen camera feeds, etc.? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Seems there are so many potential combinations of drivers and settings—would be nice to be able to start in a solid place. Thanks.

Just following the supplied instructions should allow for, for example, live camera feeds in the grid view from the T4 screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb1805 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Does the camera resolution need to be set to 720p or less (as indicated in the installation instructions)? Or can we get away with 1080p? Any experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grid screen within the Control4 screens are NOT live view - only the single camera screens are. 1 hour ago, sb1805 said: Does the camera resolution need to be set to 720p or less (as indicated in the installation instructions)?

You leave the Camera on 1090p or 4k and press Auto Config within the Driver and sorts it all out like magic We have 4 1080p and 3 4k Hikvision Cameras external - 4k Stream on the Touchscreen as a small colour band running across the Top - No Issue on iPhone or Ipad We have two Internal Cameras (Hikvison) which only show a Snapshot - Not sure why -These are also 4k All are IP cameras recording to a NVR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
