Hi,
I am a new poster on this forum but I already read a lot of threads so, first, thanks a lot! It really helps to understand how to set up my future configuration.
We want to set up a full HikVision system including:
- NVR DS-7608NXI-I2-8P/4S
- 4 outdoor cameras (2*DS-2CD2347G1-LU + 2*DS-2CD2346G1-I-SL)
- 2 inside cameras (2*DS-2CD6412FWD)
- 1 intercom camera (DS-KD8003-IME1
- 2 intercom indoor station (DS-KH8350-WTE1)
We are thinking about NVR with POE support but our configuration requests 9 POE (I don't want to bring power to intercom indoor stations). Should I use NVR with POE and adding a small POE switch or would it be better to have a NVR without POE and a bigger POE switch? Would it change anything about the configuration and the connectivity between all the devices? In case I want to add an eighth camera, I could plug it either on the NVR or the POE switch, right? Could the secondary switch be a problem?
If I get an NVR with POE with 6 cameras on it and I plug a camera and an indoor station on a secondary POE swtich, can the NVR access to the devices on the secondary switch? and also, can this secondary indoor station access to the 6 other cameras on the NVR?
I noticed HikVision has two NVR with similar functionalities: DS-7608NI-I2-8P and DS-7608NXI-I2-8P/4S. According to HikVision website, NXI version seems newer and adds AcuSense functionalities but thanks to the last firmware, all "-I" series have face detection, line crossing... functionalities. Is there any limitation which would explain why I should get a DS-7608NI-I2-8P instead of DS-7608NXI-I2-8P/4S?
Thank you very much in advance for your help
