Hi All,
I'm after information. I know not CCTV directly but I'm hoping someone knowledgeable can direct my research.
We have a HikVision CCTV system. We are thinking of installing electric gates and I would like to stay with the same manufacture instead of another tech stack, and app.
Can someone please direct me based on the following? Any past experience with Hik intercoms would be great. If they are garbage, I'd rather know now than wasting my money.
Thanks![Smile :) :)](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)

- We have no gates at the moment and no cable. I think this means we should be looking to run network cables from the gates i.e. so IP series, not analogue versions right?
- Is there GSM option so then don't need to run data cable, but I guess still need to run power, so perhaps PoE makes sense
- What is the difference between pro series and value series?
- Does CCTV/NVR factor into my setup, or would they be completely separate systems?
- If intercom can be linked to I-series NVR, would IP cables run back to the NVR itself which has spare PoE ports, or would it need to go the home router?
- Can HikVision intercom power electric gates, or at least open the gates via a relay?
- I know there are modules for different type of applications e.g. keycards, but is there a traditional wireless fob, so when driving up to the gate, you can trigger it to open?
- Do the intercoms work with HikConnect
Thanks
